First-Year Anniversary Gifts and Ideas for Spouses
If you’re nearing your first anniversary together, you’re likely searching for anniversary gift ideas by year to find the appropriate gift. The traditional gifts for this anniversary are paper and stationery, which happen to be among our greatest specialties at Shutterfly. Our Heart Collage art print on our finest cardstock makes an excellent gift for your spouse. Print sizes range from 5×7 to 16×20, and you can personalize the print with up to four of your best photos together complemented by five hearts.
Some other first-year anniversary gift ideas are personalized stationery to write the kind of love letter that will be tucked away forever, tickets to your partner’s favorite show or sports games, a framed photo print, a cookbook, a travel scratch map or a custom wedding photo book. Here at Shutterfly, the possibilities for paper gifts are endless. Also, don’t forget the anniversary card! Your paper anniversary is not complete without telling your partner just how much their love means.
Fifth-Year Anniversary Gifts and Ideas for Spouses
Your fifth anniversary is an important one to search anniversary gift ideas by year, and you’ll find that gifts crafted from wood are the traditional gifts, although modern gift options include sapphire. If you need anniversary gift ideas for her by year, consider making her a special Shutterfly keepsake box, customized with one of your favorite photos of her, that she can keep a new sapphire jewelry piece in. When it comes to anniversary gift ideas for him by year, he’ll certainly appreciate a wood coaster set with couple and family photos that proclaim him as the best husband (and possibly dad) ever.
Tenth-Year Anniversary Gifts and Ideas for Spouses
Celebrating a decade of marriage is definitely an occasion to search for anniversary gift ideas by year, and the traditional gift is one of metal (typically tin or aluminum). If your anniversary happens to come near the holidays, then our durable aluminum Christmas ornaments are a thoughtful way to celebrate. Our personalized ornaments are available in a variety of shapes and designs so that you can make it unique with your favorite photos over the past 10 years. Include a photo of each of you on the back with a heartfelt message that expresses how much they mean to you.
Twenty-Year Anniversary Gifts and Ideas for Spouses
Also known as the Emerald Anniversary, your 20th year of marriage is definitely one you’ll need to get right with anniversary gift ideas by year. The traditional gift is china, and you’ve likely deduced that emerald is the official color of this anniversary. Fortunately, we have some great dinner party-themed gifts at Shutterfly for when you bring out the fine china. Invite your family and friends to a 20-year celebration dinner party with our fall or summer dinner anniversary invitations that you can customize with your chosen trim, event date and times, as well as up to 15 photos or custom text on the back. Set each place with our emerald cloth napkins, and you’ll be celebrating in style.
Go Big with Anniversary Gifts by Year for the Major Ones
We all know that there are some anniversary years that are bigger than all the others and call for a special celebration, so you’ll need to be well-researched on the best anniversary gift ideas by year. Your 25th, 50th, and 60th years of marriage are the big ones, and we have some of the best gift ideas perfect for celebrating each accomplishment.
Make a Big Splash With Silver Jewelry
Your 25th year of marriage is also known as the silver anniversary, which is a big clue toward your anniversary gift ideas by year. At Shutterfly, we have some great options for silver jewelry, including our Silver Andrea Necklace. This unique silver-plated necklace is ideal for mixing and matching gemstones or photo charms, depending on which charm type you select. Match it with a Silver Silvia Bracelet that fits up to three photo or gemstone charms to really impress. Silver initial charms or photo charms can also make great anniversary gift ideas for men by year.
Go Even Bigger With Gold
Fifty years of marriage is one of the biggest milestones there is, and the most appropriate anniversary gift ideas by year for this one are gold. For your golden anniversary, we have gorgeous gold gemstone charms that can be attached to one of our gold-plated necklaces, and you can select the appropriate birthstone for your marriage month. This is even better for November marriages since the Topaz birthstone is the modern gift option for the 50th year. If you want to step up your home decor for this incredible occasion, our Gold Branches on Ivory wallpaper is a great choice, and our gold holiday snowflakes pillow can help make anyone more comfortable.
Make This Year Shine Like a Diamond
Congratulations on making it to the huge milestone of 60 years of marriage, and if you’ve looked up anniversary gift ideas by year, you’ve discovered this is the diamond year. A celebration this big deserves a party, and our Gleaming Diamond wedding invitation is a great option to call back the memories of your wedding day and organize a new party. The gold foil stamp shows off the resilience of your marriage, and the white design represents its purity on this incredible day. Both of you can celebrate the closing of the day with our Diamond Monogram Pilsner glasses topped off with a personal message.
