The 50 Best Anniversary Gifts for Wives of 2023

anniversary gifts for wife laid out on a coffee table — Brides / Joy Kim

If you’re stumped as to what to get your wife for your anniversary, considering the theme of the year can be a good place to start; every wedding anniversary has both a traditional and modern gifting concept. It can be a nice jumping off point to get the ideas flowing, but, at the end of the day, don’t feel locked into any theme. “Remember, gifts are a reflection of your relationship,” says etiquette expert Jodi RR Smith, adding that you shouldn’t feel obligated to adhere to the traditional or modern gift rules. “Your gift should revolve around your spouse, not ‘paper’ or ‘tin.’”

To that point, think about the types of things your wife loves and what she’s unlikely to purchase for herself. Yes, jewelry (hello, diamonds) is always a fool-proof option. The same goes for everyday staples that she’ll get plenty of use out of, think a gorgeously luxe pair of pajamas or beautiful tote bag. And when in doubt, personalized presents—a photo book, a piece of artwork depicting your wedding venue—are sure to pull at her heart strings and are always appreciated.

For a major anniversary (think the one, five-, or ten-year), this stunning ring is worth the splurge. You wouldn’t believe that the diamonds featured all the way around this band are lab-grown; in our testing, we were thoroughly impressed with how durable they were. The ring looks gorgeous worn on its own, though is also thin enough to work into any bridal stack.

Nice luggage hits that perfect gifting sweet spot—it’s both totally practical, and feels really special, particularly when it’s a high-end set of two like this. We love how sleek and functional both pieces (a carry-on and checked bag size) are, as well as the fact that they can be personalized with her initials for an extra special touch.

No matter whether she loves tea, coffee, or prefers to switch between both, this is the perfect way to ensure her go-to beverage stays warm, regardless of how busy her day gets. The rechargeable coaster keeps the mug (and drink inside) toasty for anywhere from 80 minutes up to a full day. We also like that it can be controlled with or without the accompanying app.
