Brilliant Out-of-the-Box Gift Ideas for Every Wedding Anniversary

Survey says you should get your significant other something simple: a book or an art print. We say make it an experience. How about a BYO painting class? 

Traditionally, you're supposed to opt for something sturdy to show the strength of your commitment. Instead of wooden furniture, go for a personalized cutting board ($159). You know, for all those home-cooked meals you are definitely going to make.

Aluminum or tin is typically designated as the metal for your decade of togetherness. A stainless-steel grill set makes for a gift that keeps on giving.

It’s allegedly all about crystal for this anniversary, but you know what? We want to keep it casual. Let's just split a bottle of Chianti via these aerating wine glasses and call it a celebration.

Apparently you're supposed to go for "china ornaments or home goods." We think a new Vitamix is the perfect way to say “We’re in this for the long haul.” 

Traditional folks typically favor silver for the big 2-5. To which we say, sure, or…you know, a trip to Hawaii.

Celebrate your green anniversary with a jaunt into nature. Whether that’s tilling a plot of land for your spouse to start a garden or going on a long hike together, it’s never a bad idea to slow down and appreciate how far you’ve come.  

Historically, couples have celebrated this anniversary with coral-themed gifts. Go one better and book a weekend getaway to the nearest body of water. 

You’ve proven that you’ve got the other’s back through thick and thin. A dozen red roses may be a tried-and-true tradition, but it’s the kind of classic that never gets old.

Congrats! It's the sapphire anniversary. Take that "rock" concept to the next level by snagging tickets to the reunion tour of your sweetie’s favorite band.

Whatever your partner-in-crime wants, he or she gets. Cheers to 50 years, guys!
