So, it’s your anniversary, and you’re wondering how on earth you’re going to find the perfect gift to get your wife. Finding anniversary gifts for her isn’t as easy as running to the mall and grabbing a scented candle and a card. If you listen closely, she might’ve dropped subtle hints to things she’s been eyeing, but if you have no idea where to start, we have some helpful hints of our own to guide you along.

How to Decide What to Get Your Spouse for Your Anniversary

Let’s back up a step. Did you both discuss in advance a spending limit? Did you decide to do sentimental or homemade gifts this year? Do you have free range to treat your woman to everything she deserves? Consider these questions before you start adding a million things to your cart. And if you have a few months before your celebration, we recommend sliding some subtle questions into conversation to gauge what she might be coveting right now and making a list in your phone of things she wants but won’t buy for herself. You could also use the time you have in advance to plan for a more extravagant, pricey gift if you know she’d love a new bag, diamond earrings or a weekend trip away. This could also be a time to look at the things she uses on the daily that might be in need of an upgrade. For example, if she loves to cook but her pots and pans were a hand-me-down from mom, maybe get her a new set. If her coffee maker tends to leak or make a sub-par cup of Joe, upgrade her to one that does it all.

If you want to go the traditional route, you can match your gift up to the theme based on how many years you’re celebrating. Here are a few:

  • One year: paper
  • Two years: cotton
  • Three years: leather
  • Four years: fruit or flowers
  • Five years: wood
  • Ten years: tin or aluminum
  • 15 years: crystal
  • 20 years: China
  • 25 years: silver
  • 30 years: pearls
  • 35 years: coral
  • 40 years: ruby
  • 45 years: sapphire
  • 50 years: gold

Even if you don’t want to follow this traditional list, it’s a good thing to note in the back of your mind for future anniversaries (perhaps so you can snag a set of really nice cotton sheets for your two-year anniversary).

A brand new outdoor sectional is a gift that’s sure to delight. This one has four seats and the aluminum base is weatherproof, so you won’t need to worry about rusting.
