Preface Preface

• The emotional tone of an anniversary celebration can be anything from highly romantic to breezy and fun. What matters most is that you give your a gift spouse that shows you truly know (and love) who he is. And who knows him better than you? So consider his very favorite things in life - fine wines, sports gear, experience-style gifts. We've got a ton of anniversary ideas for him.

Make him laugh Make him laugh

• Buy a figurine that looks just like him, give him a pack of sexy coupons to redeem, or customize a coffee mug with a photo or a phrase that will make him smile each morning.

Make the everyday extraordinary Make the everyday extraordinary

• Commemorate your coupledom with deluxe versions of simple memories. Track down the vinyl album that features a special love song you share, have a pair of cufflinks engraved with your anniversary date, or spring for a set of whiskey glasses that elevates his nightly tipple.

Go monthly Go monthly

•  A gift-of-the-month club will remind him of your love 12 times a year! Just think about his hobbies and likes - there's a club that delivers for him, whether it's international beers, unique socks, or hot sauce.

Tell your story Tell your story

• Does he love to read? Personalized novels are a narrative of your love. Cast him as the knight in shining armor in your life's fairy tale or choose a steamy romance to tell a hotter version of reality. Either way, this gift will make him feel like a hero.

Remember the little things Remember the little things

• Package a bunch of smaller anniversary ideas for him that relate to your relationship in some way - try one for each year you've been together. You could frame a photo from your first couple's trip, get a gift certificate for the site of your first date, or custom-print a t-shirt with an inside joke.

Get practical Get practical

• Guys love to have the ability to open a bottle, light a candle, tighten a screw, or measure something - all within pocket's reach. We haven't met a man who won't be delighted by a multitool - it's the ultimate anniversary idea for him. (Extra points for getting it engraved.)

Fulfill childhood dreams Fulfill childhood dreams

• Would he love a day driving racecars? A flying lesson? A series of cooking classes? Consider your spouse's unrealized life goals and give him an experience to remember.
