How We Chose These Gifts
If you're asking yourself what makes a present one of the top anniversary gifts for her, we have the answer. The perfect anniversary gift for her is something that'll make her feel adored, appreciated and truly seen by her partner. Think of gifts that'll remind her of your relationship—like a gourmet version of a dessert you shared on your first date or wall art that commemorates your wedding day. Also consider practical gifts that support her interests or you know she'll use every day. (If your gift includes a restock of any of her favorite skincare or self-care products, you'll get extra brownie points for your attention to detail.) And most importantly, the perfect present for her isn't necessarily the most expensive one. In fact, the most thoughtful anniversary gifts for her will have value way beyond their price.

The Best Anniversary Gifts for Her
So you're on a hunt to find great anniversary gifts for her, but you have a budget to stick to. No worries! We've rounded up the best anniversary gifts for her and ordered them from the least to the most expensive for your convenience.
1. Fill-in-the-Blank Book
Ditch a card in favor of this hardcover book. It's fill-in-the-blank style, so you'll answer prompts about what you love about her before handing it over. You can go sweet and cheesy, funny and racy or a mixture—since there are over 100 prompts to complete. It's a good choice if you're looking for small anniversary gifts for her, if you agreed to not exchange presents (ahem, you should still get her a card) or if you're shopping last minute (hello, Amazon Prime!).
2. "Can't Help Falling in Love" Music Box
There's no denying that "Can't Help Falling in Love"—no matter what version you're dancing to—is one of the most romantic songs to ever be recorded. So naturally, a music box that plays the melody is one of the most romantic anniversary gifts for her out there. The hand-crank wooden music box plays about 30 seconds of the song and is even engraved with the lyrics. It's too precious.
3. Custom Line Drawing
A custom portrait is a great way to give her a gift that's truly one-of-a-kind. This particular artist turns one of your favorite photos together into minimalist line art. You can even add custom text—like your names and anniversary date—in your choice of font. We love how it turns out! It's not just our pick though, it's also Etsy's. (Note: This listing is for a digital file. The seller will send you five high-resolution images in different ratios for you to print at home or at a local store.)
4. Floral Ring Dish
A popular anniversary gift idea for her is a jewelry dish to safely store her everyday baubles. And it's easy to find ones that are inexpensive, but still look bespoke. This round porcelain dish is beautifully adorned with wildflowers and a metallic gold rim. She can place it on her vanity, desk or nightstand to hold her favorite gems and jewels—like her wedding ring.
5. Sephora Gift Card
Sometimes the best last-minute anniversary gifts for her are just letting her pick something out herself. If she's obsessed with all things hair, makeup, skincare and perfume, she'll really appreciate a gift card to Sephora. Best of all, you can customize the e-gift card with a picture of you two, so it still feels special.
6. Anniversary Map Candle
The best time to give a candle as a present is all the time. To make it special for your anniversary, though, pick out this sweet personalized candle. The label features your name, anniversary date and the location of your wedding or first date along with a map of the exact spot it took place. Then the lid says "Burning bright since" with the year you first got together. Better still, it's champagne-scented. All those reasons make it one of our favorite sentimental anniversary gifts for her.
7. Brass Photo Easel
Photos are classic and meaningful anniversary gifts for her, since they show off and celebrate your relationship. After so many wonderful memories together, though, it can be hard to pick just one snapshot to frame. Well, thanks to this brass easel from Artifact Uprising, you can have 12 photos printed, so she can easily and elegantly swap out the lead image whenever she wants to change it up. And every anniversary or holiday from here on out, you can gift her more prints to display.
8. Eternal Love Tea Set
Do you think she's tea-rrific? And does she think tea is terrific? If so, this tea gift set is the perfect present, since it also symbolizes love and romance. The handblown glass teapot has a pink heart knob on the lid that matches the pink-tinted glass infuser and pot warmer. It also comes with 12 blooming green teas shaped into hearts. How's that for a bundle of thoughtful and creative anniversary gifts for her?
9. Relaxing Shower Set
How about the gift of a little self-care time this anniversary? Nectar's Shower Bundle includes soaps, a sugar scrub and four shower steamers, so she has everything she needs for cleansed and hydrated skin. Just pick her favorite scent (Ocean Breeze, Lavender Blossom, Fruit Smoothie or Peach Sangria), then set up a bathroom oasis for her. While she's relaxing, you could surprise her with a home-cooked dinner and a freshly made bed.
10. Gourmet Chocolate Box
If you're looking for a creative way to say "I love you" on your anniversary, do it with chocolates—literally! This box of gourmet truffles from Compartés spells out the phrase in delicious and artsy squares. Hopefully, she'll share it with you.
11. Heart-Shaped Initial Necklace
When it comes to anniversary gifts for her, jewelry is probably one of your first ideas. This heart charm necklace comes engraved with both of your initials, so she always has you with her. And, if you have kids or a beloved pet, you can add a mini heart charm for each with their initials. It's a beautiful tribute to the life you've built together.
12. Custom Star Map
We're never going to get over how cute this print art is. Select the date and location of your first date or wedding and Twinkle In Time will recreate the starry night sky from that special evening. The image is finished with the exact coordinates and a sweet message like, "The planets and the fates and all the stars aligned." (Looking at you Taylor Swift fans.) It's seriously one of the sweetest personalized anniversary gifts for her out there.
13. Flower Bouquet
No need to sneak out on the morning of your anniversary to get fresh blooms from the store. UrbanStems will ship a gorgeous bouquet straight to your home on the date of your choosing. You can even add a vase or a small gift like candy, bath bombs or a candle to the delivery. We especially love this arrangement of spray roses, Ruscus, Hypericum berries and Cocculus. It's even named The Verona after the town where Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet takes place to really celebrate true love. Better still, you can use the code THEKNOT15 for 15% off all plants as well as dried and fresh arrangements.
14. Custom Embroidered Sweatshirt
This sweatshirt is a top pick when it comes to cute anniversary gifts for her—and it'll definitely be her new favorite loungewear. This sweatshirt is custom embroidered with the date of your anniversary and a short note like "I love you more" on the sleeve. It comes in 16 different colors with 34 thread options, so you can make her a one-of-kind hoodie. And you can even get a matching one!
15. Rosé Sampler
Does she prefer rosé to roses? Gift her a dozen mini bottles of wine from Sangiovese, Italy and Ventoux Mountain in France. The collection of crisp, fruit-forward flavors also comes with a tasting guide and pairing recommendations, so she can act as an amateur sommelier at your next gathering. It's definitely one of the most "happy" anniversary gifts for her.
16. Fairytale Rose Lamp
Shopping for a Disney fan? What better way to celebrate your happily ever after than with a bloom inspired by "Beauty and the Beast?" This glass dome holds an iridescent rose surrounded by fairy lights for a magical lamp and keepsake of your storybook love. Use code THEKNOT to receive 10% off sitewide. It's even stackable with existing site discounts.
17. First Dance Song Art
Personalized anniversary gifts for her don't get much more sentimental than this. Have the sheet music from your first dance at your wedding printed on canvas for meaningful wall art. You can even add the lyrics. She'll be so touched by the gesture.
18. Pearl Stud Earrings
No need to be a jewelry expert to pick up gorgeous baubles for your gal. Pearls are a timeless accessory she's bound to love. (Not to mention "pearlcore" is seriously trending right now.) These premium Akoya cultured pearls make gorgeous stud earrings she can dress up or down. Pair with a little jewelry box or jewelry dish for a pair of good anniversary gifts for her.
19. Macaron Making Kit
Is she an aspiring contestant on "The Great British Bake Off?" Help her master the French macaron challenge with this experience gift for couples. You can celebrate your anniversary with a little fun in the kitchen making colorful confections together. The kit comes with almost everything you'll need (minus perishables), even pipping bags, sprinkles and edible metallic paint.
20. Trendy Travel Bag
Whether she has to travel for work or is always planning weekend getaways, she'll love new luggage that perfectly accommodates short trips. This chic duffle from BÉIS will make packing easier and let her roam hands-free. It has three interior pockets and a padded tech sleeve, plus an exterior zip pocket and a bottom shoe compartment to keep her footwear away from her clean clothes. Better still, the canvas is extra-durable and waterproof.
21. Indoor Smart Garden
Does she love farmers' markets? They're a great way to shop fresh produce in the summer, but come winter she's trudging back to the grocery store. Not anymore, though! Click & Grow's indoor smart garden lets her grow herbs, veggies, fruits and flowers anytime, anywhere. And she doesn't even need to have a green thumb. It automates watering, light and nutrients, so she just gets to watch the plants grow. The Smart Garden 3 comes with basil seeds, but you can add on other plant pods like mint, parsley, chives, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers and more.
22. Colorful French Press
If she's always on the hunt for the best cup of coffee, help make every at-home brew better with a French press. The double-walled construction will keep her coffee extra hot while the grounds steep for just four minutes. It can be used for tea, milk and juice as well. Plus, the chic design and six fun colorways make it cute enough to leave out on the countertop. (Super convenient, since she'll be reaching for it every day.)
23. Book of Date Ideas
Whether you're celebrating one year of dating or 10 years of marriage, this anniversary gift for her will come in handy in your relationship. The Adventure Challenge's Couple's Edition and …In Bed interactive books (aka the Naughty & Nice bundle) will give you and your partner 100 creative date ideas in and out of the home. Each date remains a secret until you scratch off the idea, so it promotes spontaneity and unique experiences. Plus, there's room to write about the date and attach a picture, so it becomes a scrapbook once you complete all of the challenges. Use code THEKNOT10 for 10% off your purchase.
24. Made-To-Order Personalized Song
If you're looking for a really romantic anniversary gift for her, your search is over. No need to be musically inclined to write your girl a song. Just tell artist David Morgan about her and your relationship and he'll write one or three minutes of original lyrics and music. The song will be sent to you as an MP3 audio file that he recorded of him performing it along with a PDF file with the exact lyrics.
25. Love Note Messenger Box
Texting is so last year. This small device connects to an app on your phone where you can type out a sweet message (like "happy anniversary"). Once your S.O.'s box receives your message, its chunky red heart spins around like crazy until they open the lid to reveal your note. It's an especially great anniversary gift for long-distance relationships.
26. Long-Lasting Roses
Gift her a symbol of your unwavering love with long-lasting roses. Unlike a bouquet you can buy at the store, these flowers are picked at peak bloom and preserved with a bit of natural wax so they last for up to a year—leading you right to your next anniversary. This heart-shaped box is fitted for three vibrant red roses with a Vanilla Haze scent. Add a personal message to the lid for a second surprise. Don't forget to use the code THEKNOT15 for 15% off sitewide.
27. Comfy Slippers
UGG footwear is trending again and we couldn't be happier, these slippers are so comfy! For an anniversary gift that really shows her you were listening when she was showing you her Pinterest board or online shopping cart, give her these suede slippers with a soft wool lining.
28. Personalized World Map
If you tied the knot in the last few years, this vintage-inspired world map is one of the greatest wedding anniversary gifts for her. It's personalized with the date of your nuptials and both of your names, so you can track your adventures as a married couple with the included push pins. It'll definitely help inspire future travels together.
29. Colored Wine Glasses
Toast to another year together with these stunning wine glasses. Estelle Colored Glass, as the name suggests, makes handblown drinkware in dozens of different colors. This set of six stemmed wine glasses will turn every glass of vino into a celebration. Pick up the color that correlates with the wedding anniversary year you're celebrating like yellow for one year, red for 15 years or green for 55 years.
30. Washable Silk Pajama Set
If you want her to feel like the queen she is, gift her a set of luxurious silk pajamas. Made from washable Mulberry silk, Lunya's loungewear isn't just soft, it's thermoregulating to help her maintain a comfortable body temperature. We personally love the look of this short-sleeve, button-down top and high-waisted pants, but you can also shop tank tops or short sets. You could even add on a luxe silk robe for a bundle of really awesome anniversary gifts for her. (Psst, use FOR-TK20 for $20 off your first order of $100 or more.)
31. New Bedding
Cuddling with your true love is already the best way to sleep and now it can get even better with one of the coziest unique anniversary gifts for her around. Eucalypso's bedding is naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial (that means it helps prevent acne and wrinkles as you sleep) as well as temperature regulating for a cooler night's rest. It's all thanks to their eco-friendly, silky fabric made of eucalyptus wood pulp. Grab the Deluxe Sleep Bundle for their signature eucalyptus sheet set, silky pillowcases and cooling duvet cover. You can mix and match dreamy colors to create the bedroom oasis of her dreams. This anniversary gift for her is also kind of an anniversary gift for you.
32. Tech Watch Band Gift Set
Watches are a classic anniversary gift for her because they're a sweet symbol of all the wonderful times you have spent together. If she's married (*wink, wink*) to her Apple watch, apply the same sentiment and upgrade her band. This shiny gift set comes with a basket-weave band and a crystal pavé link band as well as four matching open-face cases.
33. Trendy Hair Styling Tool
If you want to make all her dreams come true this anniversary, surprise her with a Dyson Airwrap. The inventive hair tool uses one barrel to attract and self-wrap hair, then curl it clockwise and counterclockwise. It also comes with a smoothing dryer and brushes as well as a volumizing brush. She'll be date ready in no time.
34. Diamond Ring
Renew your vows and slide an anniversary ring on her finger. This 14K rose, yellow or white gold or platinum band is a timeless symbol of commitment. It's formed by two intertwining bands, one of which is set with micropavé diamonds.
35. Interactive Exercise Mirror
Is Lululemon her favorite store? She'll love putting her cute sets to work with an at-home gym by the iconic brand. The Mirror is a fully functional standing mirror that doubles as a workout studio, thanks to its HD display screen and built-in camera. She can take cardio, boxing, pilates classes and more right at home while still getting live feedback from instructors. You can even add on a mat, resistance bands, weights, a yoga block and a foam roller, all of which The Mirror can recognize. If you're a fitness fanatic too, you'll probably get just as much use out of this present, which is elite when it comes to cool anniversary gifts for her.
