33 of the Sweetest Anniversary Gifts for Your Girlfriend

Whether you're approaching one month together or a few years, anniversary gifts for your girlfriend are a nice way to show her your appreciation. And after seven years of dating—and still no ring—I'm kind of an expert on what to get your girlfriend for your anniversary that'll make her swoon. In fact, some of the items on this list are ones I was actually surprised with (or explicitly asked for) myself, so, trust, these anniversary gifts for her are straight from an expert source. From cute and personalized to practical and luxurious, she'll love one (or all) of these ideas.

What to Get Your Girlfriend for Your Anniversary

You don't need to be a good gift giver to get your S.O. a meaningful present, you just need this list. Start with what stage your relationship is at to help you decide what kind of present to give.

• One month: So, the relationship is brand-spanking-new. What's a one-month anniversary gift for your girlfriend that'll make her feel secure in your connection? Our favorite gift ideas for new relationships are experiences. They're a great way to spend quality time together and may even spark a new hobby for the both of you. One experience gift we particularly love is Food La La's at-home macaron baking kit for a sweet virtual cooking class together.

• Three months: Having spent three months dating, you probably feel comfortable enough with your girlfriend to discuss more vulnerable topics. That's why we recommend a couple's game that sparks deeper conversations. Best Self Co.'s Relationship Deck is full of 150 prompts about your relationship as well as finance, health, work and personal growth, so you can spend your anniversary getting to know each other even better.

• Six months: After half a year together, you know just how she makes your life better. Reciprocate with a six-month anniversary gift for your girlfriend that adds a bit of convenience and luxury to her everyday life. Think: a subscription of her favorite things, a cozy blanket or loungewear like Lunya's washable silk pajama set.

• One year: You've spent one whole trip around the sun together, it's time to get sappy! We love personalized art to celebrate this milestone, like a framed picture from your favorite memory together, a custom illustration or Twinkle in Time's custom maps of the starry night sky from your first date.

• Two years and beyond: Jewelry is a good anniversary gift for your girlfriend at any milestone, but especially when you've been together for a few years. While you may not be ready to give an engagement ring just yet, you still want her to have a daily reminder of your love. Insert: Made By Mary's Love Bar Necklace. The horizontal bar pendant is engraved with your initials for an everyday bauble that will pair nicely with her other accessories.
