Preface Preface

• Three decades of marriage is certainly something to celebrate in a big way. Finding the right 30th anniversary gift for your spouse means tuning in to who they are at their core, and then expressing love with the item you choose. Whether you choose to honor the traditional gift of pearls or the more modern gift of diamonds or go completely off the beaten path, here are a few ideas:

Do something new Do something new

• Have you ever taken a flight lesson? Ridden in a helicopter? Had a golf lesson with a PGA pro? Celebrate 30 years together than by having a brand new adventure. New experiences have been proven to reignite romance - it's science!

Name it Name it

• Whether it's a charm bracelet that features trinkets with the names of your children and the date of your wedding or a wine chiller bucket inscribed with a message of love, personalizing an item gives it that much more meaning. 

Go beyond Go beyond

• You've given each other so much over the years, but have you ever named a star for her or bought him a piece of the moon?Delight and amaze your significant other with out-of-this-world gifts. 

Treasure your moments Treasure your moments

• There are so few hard-copy photos these days, but take the time to pick out a few milestone pictures from your 30 years together. Get them framed or arrange an album you can page through together on your anniversary - those moments should be commemorated.

Dazzle them Dazzle them

• The traditional 30th anniversary material is pearl, and a string of pearls has a major wow factor. The modern material, however, is a diamond, so a combination of the two in a stunning watch or some gorgeous drop earrings might just be the best anniversary gift ever.

Get creative Get creative

• A gift from the heart like DIY love coupons that are redeemable for everything from affection to household chores will do the trick. And after 30 years, you'll know exactly what coupons she'll want to redeem!
