FAQ

• What is the best anniversary gift for your husband?

  You know your husband better than anyone, so take his hobbies, interests, and passions into consideration when looking for an anniversary gift. He'll feel seen and loved when receiving something that represents him and the things he cares about. It truly is the thought that counts!

  Is he an outdoorsman? Give him some new hiking boots or plan a weekend getaway. If he likes to cook, maybe you'll gift him new kitchen supplies or a food delivery subscription service. The options are endless—just think about the unique qualities you love about him and go from there.
  

• Can I get him an experience instead of a gift?

  Absolutely! In fact, that might be an even better fit for your husband–bonus points if it's something you can do together to celebrate your anniversary. Especially if you both have busy schedules and don't often get much time alone, an experiential gift for just the two of you is an excellent choice.

  Perhaps surprise him with an overnight road trip to a nearby city, or sign up for an art class he mentioned in conversation. Oftentimes, the gift of an experience can be just as—if not more—special than a physical one.
