Thoughtful Anniversary Gift Ideas For Her

Whether you’ve been dating for a few years or married for a while, an anniversary is a special occasion and should be celebrated with romantic gestures and heartfelt gifts.

But coming up with a romantic anniversary gift for your special lady can sometimes prove to be difficult. That is why a handy list like this one can give you some ideas for anniversary gifts for your girlfriend or wife.

Top anniversary gift ideas for her

Whether you are looking for something fun, practical, or sentimental, a gift that she will love and cherish is one that is thoughtful and comes from the heart. We have put together a list of 20 anniversary gift ideas ranging from affordable to lavish.

1. Cooking experiences

Share your love for good food and cooking with a couple’s cooking class for your anniversary. If your partner loves cooking but you are not into it, then gift her a cooking class at her favorite restaurant, with a local celebrity chef, or online.

2. Her favorite wine

One of the best gifts you can give a wine lover is wine. You can choose between red, white, or a mix of wines from a particular region or style. You can even send her a wine and cheese subscription box or one that recommends food-wine pairings. Or go for some wine-related personalized gifts like monogrammed wine glasses.

3. Jewelry

If you’re looking for romantic wedding anniversary gifts for her, you can’t go wrong with jewelry. Does she like necklaces, or is she more of a bracelet kind of person? Maybe she likes something in a classic style, prefers more contemporary designs, or is passionate about handmade jewelry?

4. Plants

For someone who loves plants or has plans to start a garden, a plant subscription or plant gift is a perfect gift to say that you care. There are plenty of subscriptions to choose from, including ones that specialize in air plants and succulents and ones that deliver larger plants.

5. Bathrobe and slippers

Get her a plush bathrobe that makes her feel like she is on a vacation every day. Get yourself one too and make it a his-and-her set. Pair the robe with a luxurious pair of faux fur slippers to keep her feet warm and cozy.

6. Watch

Make your loved one feel special with a beautiful watch that reflects her personality. You can choose from a range of watch styles, whether it is a sports watch, a casual watch, or something more elegant. Show how much she means to you with a classic brand, a designer watch, or a jewelry-style watch.

7. Romantic getaway

Whisk her away to some romantic destination where you can pamper her with luxury and show her how much you care. Plan for a few days of romance away from the daily grind of life with this wonderful anniversary gift for your wife or girlfriend.

8. Tea lover gifts

If she is a tea drinker, give her a gift so she can explore the world of tea. You can choose from collector’s teacups and kettles to contemporary-style tea sets. Or give her tea-related gifts like a personalized strainer, a tea blend set, or even beauty products made from tea.

9. Meal delivery

If she loves cooking but doesn’t have the time to prep and plan, gift her a pre-planned meal delivery via Instacart that will deliver delicious meal plans with ingredients right to her door.

10. Handbag

You can’t go wrong with a handbag as an anniversary gift for her. There are so many styles to choose from, whether it’s a classic leather handbag, a large travel tote, an evening clutch, or a crossbody bag.

11. Pamper gifts

Spoil her with a gift hamper of self-pampering beauty products like lotions, bath gels, foot scrubs, and facial masks. Choose ready-made gift hampers, a gift card, or personalize it on you own with her favorite products, wine, chocolates, or flowers.

12. Coffee gifts

For the coffee-lover woman in your life, nothing says “I love you” better than a state-of-the-art coffee machine or anything related to coffee. Get her the latest in coffee makers, spring her with personalized coffee mugs, or give her coffee-themed cushion covers or wall art.

13. Flowers

Flowers are one of the most romantic gifts, and your partner will appreciate a beautiful selection of flowers as a heartfelt expression of your feelings for her.

14. Travel make-up bag

If your wife travels a lot, give her a luxurious leather travel cosmetic bag for all her beauty products. Get fancy and give her one that is monogrammed with her initials, have it personalized with a printed image, or find a beautiful hand-painted one.

15. Keepsake

Surprise her with a beautiful keepsake, like a music box with a personalized message or a keepsake book of all your special events, memories, and photos. You can look for keepsake ideas at online handmade marketplaces or get creative and make something on your own.

16. Books

The best gift to give the book lover in your life is to buy them a book by their favorite author or a book she has been looking forward to reading. You can also give her a book subscription or some cute book-themed gifts like personalized mugs, a writing journal, cozy cushions, or a gorgeous bookmark.

17. Jewelry box

Give your partner an elegant jewelry box so she can organize her cherished pieces. You can personalize it with her initials or a sweet message. Choose from beautiful colors in leather, vintage glamor in glass, or handmade in wood.

18. Silk pajamas

Sleeping in silk is luxurious and the ultimate comfort. Your partner will love these pajamas. Choose a matching his-and-her set or just something sophisticated for her. Why not throw in a silk robe and a silk eye mask too?

19. Nail care set

For someone who likes to do her nails at home, a nail care kit is the ideal anniversary gift. Look for a good brand nail care set complete with manicure and pedicure tools, accessories, and beauty products like nail polish, hand and nail cream, and cuticle oil.

19. Home-cooked meal

Plating idea with chicken.

Order ingredients to be delivered to your door and cook your significant other their favorite meal for a true show-stopper this anniversary.

Give the perfect anniversary gift

When it comes to buying an anniversary gift for your special lady, what counts is that you have put some thought into the gift. This means that she will appreciate and cherish a gift that is personalized, or one that has sentimental meaning and shows her that you care.
