The Perfect Anniversary Gift for Her
When it comes to gift shopping for a special occasion, you can be putting a lot of pressure on yourself, especially when it’s for someone like your partner. They are a huge part of your world, maybe the most important part, and with your anniversary coming up it’s only safe to assume you’re going to want to show her how much you appreciate and love her by celebrating the day properly.
Obviously everyone has different tastes so there might not be a “one size fits all gift” but there are many options to make the perfect anniversary gift for her. In the past we’ve researched and come up with many gift guides for women and couples, so we have a really good basis for what she might like--and if you’re searching for ideas then you’ve come to the right place.
Let’s take a look at what we’ve found so you can get to ordering and planning out your anniversary properly.
A Sentimental Start to the Anniversary 💌
Say it with us: romance should be cheesy 👏! Cheesy has often been described as a bad thing but really when it comes to romance and love, cheesy should be celebrated. Sometimes going with a gift that’ll bring out the waterworks and is so chock full of sentiment is the perfect gift.
A Personalized “I Love You” Book
Look back on your love story and get it immortalized forever! Image courtesy of: Wonderbly.
We at PerfectGift like to find companies that make really cool and unique gifts that match what you’re looking for to a tee and in the past when we’ve delved into the lovey-dovey we’ve found that Wonderbly is one such company. Wonderbly makes custom physical coffee tables and displays books for loads of occasions including anniversaries. Here we have their Our Love Story: Anniversary Edition for $39.99 which you can customize to make your own. It is a book where you will answer questions about the things you love about your partner, and they will create ten personalized love poems on ten illustrated postcards
On their page you as a customer are able to “add both of your names, as well as any furry friends or kids you may have, the year you got together, choose which of your partner's features and traits you'd like to feature, pick a color scheme they’d love, and upload photos to add to the book’s pages.” It is 26 pages long which you can preview before you buy so you know it’ll be exactly what you’re looking for.
A Custom Couple Portrait
🎵 Just the two of us, You and I 🎵. Image courtesy of: Etsy.
Before social media and the ride of small artists making their craft available nationwide, we had caricature artists set up in parks painting couples walking on their dates. Nowadays we have hundreds of thousands of talented people putting their skills out there for you to take advantage of; and we’ve found one that’ll make for a down right adorable present for your anniversary.
From InkAndLovers on Etsy we have a Custom Hand-drawn Couple Portrait which is NOT AI and is on sale for only $6.71+ (normally priced at $8.95+). As you can see from their example their artists will create a cartoon-like portrait of the two of you from your favorite photo together. Now we will note this is a DIGITAL download only, you will have to get it printed yourself. Choose between a half body or a full body, background or no background, and add more characters in for an additional cost. Easy to navigate and such a cute idea.
A “Where She Said Yes” Print
A great addition to the home to celebrate your anniversary! Image courtesy of: Etsy.
If you’re engaged and/or married and are celebrating that specific occasion then you absolutely need this Where She Said Yes Picture Frame from Etsy user SentimentalWhisper on sale for $16.98+ (normally priced at $22.68+).
It is a framed photo that shows you and your partner side by side a top-down view of the actual location of where you got engaged or tied the knot. On the picture itself is the date, location, and coordinates so anyone who comes over will be able to see where your new chapter started. Choose to get it delivered digitally (ala sent to your email for you to print out yourself), or get it framed in a variety of methods.
Go on an Adventure Together 🏩
As much as we love physical gifts we can use or see day-to-day, we also love experiences as gifts, especially when celebrating an anniversary. Spending time together on the day is what we love most and there are some ways you can spice up your typical date nights like:
Enjoy a Mystery Picnic Date
Explore your home turf and end with a delicious picnic for two. Image courtesy of: Giftory.
A few gifts ago we mentioned we like to shout-out specific businesses we know do great work and Giftory is another one. Giftory sets up planned trips, events, tours, and experiences for couples, families, corporations, and more. If you two love to go out on dates or want to do something a little different but are stuck in the confines of your hometown, you will want to look into their Mystery Picnic Date for Two for $150.
It isn’t just any old picnic date, no, the team at Giftory will set up a “self-guided scavenger hunt filled with clues” that’ll lead you guys to gathering your food and drinks from places around your city eventually leading you to the perfect picnic destination. Solve the culinary mystery together and enjoy spending time doing something a little different.
Plan an “At-Home” Spa Day for Her
Who needs to pay hundreds of dollars when we have a spa day at home. Image courtesy of: Nordstrom.
Spas are expensive, if you’ve been to one or were planning on treating you and your partner to one then you know that the price may not be always worth the experience. But instead of ditching that idea entirely we thought: “why not give her an at-home spa day?” This way she can be in the comfort of her own space, with her favorite person (you), and can do exactly what she wants when she wants.
Get the Vanilla Coconut Home Spa Gift Basket on sale for $50.39 from Lovery at Nordstrom. It comes with bath oil, bubble bath, shower gel, body scrub, bath salts, a bath towel, and two large bath bombs. You will be her pamper-er and can help her with whatever she needs. Do some research and plan out what makes a perfect spa day a perfect spa day.
Gifts Just for Her 😍
These next few gifts are all about her, let’s take a look!
A Classic: Flowers & Chocolate
Cliche? Maybe. But roses this good need to be bought! Image courtesy of: 1-800 Flowers.
We know flowers and chocolate are like the quintessential anniversary gift that can often get repetitive but really when asked, anyone, and we mean anyone, would appreciate the simple gesture. 1-800 Flowers has bouquets for any occasion including anniversaries, and they don’t offer just roses either. You can take a look at their wide array of farm-fresh flowers or go with these Stunning Red Rose & Calla Lily Bouquet with Red Vase on sale for $72.99 (normally priced at $77.99).
Chocolate tastes better when it’s bought for you, it’s just facts. Image courtesy of: Crate & Barrel.
And then we have the chocolate. Sweet treats hit differently when it’s about celebrating an anniversary and as there are many chocolate options out there nailing down one was quite tricky but we found that the Assorted Chocolate Sampler in Gift Tin for $37.95 from Crate & Barrel is the one to go for. It has a nice variety with bits of caramel, peanut butter, and nuts mixed in, giving a delightful surprise whenever you take a bite.
A Silk Bath Robe
Feeling comfy and looking good is something we can get behind. Image courtesy of: Quince.
Quince is a famous clothing, home, jewelry, and accessory company that makes things that both last and feel good. They have their famed 100% Washable Silk Robe for $119.50 that has hundreds of five star reviews. Made with 100% mulberry silk and contains 18 kinds of amino acids which is great for your skin. It’s breathable and hypo-allergenic so it’ll be a robe you can wear year-round. Coming in sizes XS to XL, you’ll have your pick of four different colors: ivory, crimson, black, or indigo.
The Best Noise Cancelling Headphones
A gift you can use everyday is a gift worth getting! Image courtesy of: Best Buy.
Headphones are so useful, especially if she is someone who is surrounded by lots of noise in her day-to-day life. When she gets a moment to herself, she probably wants to tune out the rest of the world and listen to her music, podcasts, or an audio book. With the Apple AirPods Max (USB-C) from Best Buy for $499.99 she can enjoy a battery life that lasts about 20 hours on a full charge and 1.5 hours from a quick charge. They work best with iPhones and other Apple devices but can be used with anything.

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of getting a gift you weren’t expecting, especially when it’s on a specific day like your anniversary. Sure flowers, chocolate, and jewelry are all staples we appreciate, but doing something that’s spontaneous? Now that’s what we’re talking about.
