-- Anniversary Gift Idea For Men --

Women are so easy to shop for – but buying anniversary gifts for guys can be a bit more of a challenge! When you want to make him smile on your anniversary, you need to start planning in advance and choose a gift that’s straight from the heart. You can use the traditional by-year guidelines to find the perfect present.

1st Wedding Anniversary: Traditional Gift is Paper

Why not buy your husband an interesting book or a magazines subscription to a publication he loves? Personalized stationery or business cards are another option. A gift certificate is another fun twist on the standard wedding anniversary gift of paper.

5th Wedding Anniversary: Traditional Gift is Wood

Wow your man by surprising him with a unique work of art made of wood, such as a handcrafted figure or bowl. A hot trend straight off the runway? Eco-friendly designer sunglasses featuring wood detailing.

10th Wedding Anniversary: Traditional Gift is Tin

Appeal to his sweet tooth by whipping up a batch of his favorite cookies or squares and giving them to him in a cute cookie tin. Unique bar-style art made of tin is a perfect gift for him; or go the barbecue accessory-route and get him some cool branding irons.

15th Wedding Anniversary: Traditional Gift is Crystal

While crystal is indeed the traditional gift for this anniversary, you may choose to give the modern-traditional gift – which is a wrist watch. This is perfect for the man in your life, and depending on his style, you can choose one to suit his lifestyle. If he already has a watch, get him a different style. For example, if he wears a business watch every day, he might appreciate a sports watch for outdoor activity or a funkier watch for a night out on the town.

20th Wedding Anniversary: Traditional Gift is China

Throw tradition to the wind here – there aren’t a lot of figurines that will make your man jump up and down! If budget allows, you might splurge and surprise him with two tickets to (you guessed it!) China! Not in the cards? Instead just get him something that was “Made in China” – he’s sure to laugh when he learns your reasoning!

There’s no rule that says you have to purchase your guy a gift that conforms to the traditional list. The trick to giving a gift he’ll love is to pay attention in the months leading up to your anniversary. You can always sneak back to a shop or a website to pick up the item he was drooling over! Cologne is a great gift for guys, as are electronic items! If you want to give him something he’ll keep forever, consider having it monogrammed so it is customized to him. Something he probably doesn’t have is a jewelry box; perfect for keeping the wristwatches and cuff links he’s bound to accumulate in the years to come!

Still not sure what to get your guy? Consider purchasing an adventure-gift for him. From bungee jumping and white water rafting to unique luxury vehicle rentals, there’s a gift out there for every guy!
