Did you ever hear the expression ‘Men are from Mars, women are from Venus’? Well, sometimes it feels like it might be true. At times, it is really difficult for men to understand women (and vice versa) and if we don’t understand them, if we can’t grasp what it is they truly want, how the hell are we supposed to buy them a great anniversary gift?!
To make matters worse, your wife or girlfriend always seems to choose the right gift for you, which may make you wonder if she has a natural gift talent or if she loves you more! Actually, she probably uses a cheat sheet. Luckily, we have also created a cheat sheet for you – a list of the best anniversary gift ideas for her, which will finally put the question “What should I gift my wife on our anniversary?” to rest.
1. Wonderful Italian Escape
The most romantic anniversary present for her (and you)
If you are looking for the most romantic anniversary gift for your loved one, look no further! A short Italian getaway is probably as romantic as it can get! Your wife/girlfriend certainly thinks so – believe me! Visiting some of Italy’s most breathtaking destinations, exploring Rome’s spectacular historic sights, eating your way through Naples, and relaxing on the magical Amalfi Coast will be like a second honeymoon for you. It will allow you to reconnect with your sweetheart and rekindle the romance.
In case Italy doesn’t seem like the right destination, you can choose to visit another amazing European destination and in case you have forgotten about your upcoming anniversary that is just around the corner, you can check out some last-minute trips and travel deals.
2. Romantic Getaway in the UK
A great anniversary gift that will relight the fire
If a romantic getaway with your better half sounds like something both of you might enjoy, but you prefer to stay close to home, you can choose a short break somewhere in the UK. These kinds of getaways tend to be rather affordable and extremely enchanting. Take your wife or girlfriend on an exciting camping break, London attraction tour, a country retreat, or a historic city escape and create new memories that will last forever.
Instead of a two or more-day getaway, you can also opt for a day trip and visit English heritage historic sites, a zoological garden, or take a vineyard tour.
3. Relaxing Spa Day For Her
A thoughtful anniversary gift for her
Let’s face it – most women do so much! They go to work, take care of their partners, their kids, and other family members, do household chores, and more. As such, it is only fair to buy them a spa break every once in a while. Your woman is your queen and she deserves to be pampered like one. Gift her a royal spa break and she will come home completely relaxed and happy. And you know what they say – happy wife, happy life!
Consider buying her a luxury spa package or in case you think she would appreciate you tagging along, purchase a spa package for couples.
4. Organic Aromatherapy Well-being Gift
A healing anniversary gift for her
Most women are into wellness and health. If your gal is one of them, she would love for you to treat her to a well-being gift set. You can buy her a set of organic essential oils that are designed to help her relax, smile, or sleep, a tension-relieving body oil, or a soothing massage oil. I can guarantee that she wouldn’t mind if you would use the massage oil on her every once in a while, either!
If aromatherapy is not her thing, you can also opt for some organic skincare, body care, or hair products. Caution: You may want to stay clear of anti-ageing products, as that may get you into trouble!
5. Full Body Massage Mat
A great anniversary gift for the wife or girlfriend who needs to relax (don’t tell her that!)
If your wife or girlfriend is under lots of stress or if she simply enjoys a relaxing massage every now and then, instead of visiting a spa on a regular basis, she may prefer something a bit more permanent. In this case, a soothing full body massage mat may be the right anniversary gift for her. The therapeutic mat will promote her well-being and calm her nerves (even when you forget to take out the trash after she asked you for the fifteenth time).
Alternatively, you can opt for a massage chair or choose a more affordable manual massage tool or massage oil, however, we have to warn you that the latter may require some commitment on your part.
6. High-quality Smoothie Blender
For the wife who wants to follow a healthy diet
If your wife or girlfriend is the type of woman who likes to kick off the day with a healthy smoothie, buying her a high-quality blender or smoothie maker is a great idea! Not only will she benefit from getting a hefty dose of vitamins on a daily basis, but you and other family members will also be able to enjoy the benefits.
You can choose a portable blender for a single person or a larger one for the entire family.
7. Luxury Chocolate Box
A great anniversary gift for chocolate lovers
If your wife is a huge chocolate lover (well, as most of us), she will always appreciate a delicious box of chocolates. However, instead of gifting a regular retail box of chocolates, go with a luxury anniversary gift set that will really show her how much you care.
You can choose a classical set of various tasty chocolate boxes, an amazing chocolate and candle gift box, or something with a bit more edge, like a gift box for gin lovers or chocolate beer.
8. Beautiful Anniversary Bouquet
A classic anniversary gift for women who love flowers
Nothing says ‘I love you’ like flowers. Flowers are a classic gift that never goes out of style and will surely get you the key to a woman’s heart. Choose a beautiful mixed bouquet, a gift box with chocolate, or a bouquet of her favourite flowers and get it delivered to her address first thing in the morning.
You can also check out their best sellers or opt for a house plant, which is definitely the more sustainable option, instead.
9. Instax Mini Instant Camera
For the girlfriend or wife who likes to take photos
If your girlfriend or wife is one of those hip modern women who like taking pictures and capturing special memories, then she will surely love an instant camera. The cute mini camera will instantly print out the photos she took and she will be able to proudly display them at home.
You can go with a cute trendy colourful instant camera or opt for a classic retro mini camera instead.
10. Romantic Novel
A gift for her soul
Women tend to love romance books. Some like them sweet and innocent, others like them seductive and hot. Assess which is the genre your girl would prefer and choose a best seller in the right category. Not only will a romance book feed her soul, but spending her free time thinking about love may make her want you even more.
In case romance isn’t her cup of tea, you can also choose a travel book, a health book, or a personal development book.
11. Yoga And Fitness Set for Women
A great anniversary gift for the active girl
If your girl wants to get or stay in shape, you can show your love for her by supporting her goals. If she is into yoga, pilates, or bodyweight strength training, she will love a yoga/fitness set. These kinds of sets usually come with a yoga mat, blocks, and straps.
You can complement the gift by adding a comfortable set of yoga clothes and perhaps an aromatherapy diffuser, which will make her home workout a relaxing and spiritual experience.
12. Date Night Bucket List Kit
A great anniversary gift that will keep the flame burning
Regular date nights will keep the flame alive, as such buying a date night bucket list kit is a great anniversary gift. It will benefit her, you, and most of all, your relationship.

In addition, such a bucket list will surely inspire you to have amazing date nights more often.
If you and your wife or girlfriend are into games, you can also buy her a kinky truth or dare game or a game set with conversation starters, flirty games, and exciting dares.
13. Colour Changing Himalayan Salt Lamp
A unique anniversary gift for the homemaker
If your wife or girlfriend is the kind of woman that is always doing her best to create a warm and cosy home, a colour-changing Himalayan salt lamp may just be the best anniversary gift for her. It is made from real Himalayan salt crystals with antimicrobial properties that prevent mould and bacteria and may even improve air quality. Plus, the colourful LED lights create a lovely ambience.
