1. Cute Mini Planter

Talking to a lot of couples over time makes one pointer common to a majority, which is that they like doing something around their plants or garden together.

Say, planting seeds together, watering plants in turns, bringing freshly plucked chillies or herbs (even little flowers) for the one cooking or just enjoying the morning tea amidst the lush greenery. If you could relate to any of the above, then this is the perfect anniversary gift to go for.

Cute little planters like these work best for wedding anniversary gift ideas because they are definitely adorable and they can be kept by your bedside or at your partner’s study as well, as a cute reminder of you.

Such plants usually require minimal care and are definitely a beauty to be added to your home or your room. Trust me, you are definitely getting a sweet kiss after this. Don’t forget to stick a personal note into it (use a toothpick and glue).

2. A Customised Couple Caricature

Being a lover of quirky things and art, I can surely tell you that gifting a personalised caricature is one of the most hit wedding anniversary gift ideas. With so many artists coming out with their talent and distinct art style, couple-caricature is one of their top sellers.

Whether for wedding invites, anniversary gifts or birthdays, a caricature is never running out of fashion. Choose the artist as per your budget, you can find one for all pockets on Instagram.

Get the adorable picture framed. Wither wrap it well or directly hang it on to one of the prominent walls of your home. One major tip, let the artist know in advance that not to go over the top with the funny features, the idea may backfire if done otherwise.

However, it purely depends on how well does your partner takes jokes like these or the level of self-esteem he/she has. All the best (I am already praying).

3. Bake Your Partner a Cake

I am sure you must be thinking why does the cake look so clumsy, right? So one of the most popular gestures which count under the most thoughtful wedding anniversary gift ideas is baking a cake yourself for your anniversary.

Neither I nor your partner expects you to bake a perfect chef-style cake, hence the clumsy cake in the picture. Don’t go for a three-tier cake (obviously), just make a simple little single-flavoured cake for the big day.

Don’t forget to be sure of your partner’s favourite flavour. You can also choose healthier alternates for the ingredients like fat-free butter, coconut milk or oat flour considering the health preferences of your partner.

If he/she is a lover of chocolates then just pour that liquid heaven with an open heart. Just to remind you, there are multiple variants of chocolates as well (like white chocolate and dark chocolate). Go, bake it with love or look for a baker!

4. A Representative of Your Love For Your Partner

Isn’t this showpiece an elegant representative of your relationship with your partner? If your partner is an appreciator of art, then this is surely among the most accurate wedding anniversary gift ideas. Despite the fact that the artistic beauty has no expressions carved out of it, the lovely couple projected through it emit a lot of warmth.

If yours has been an understanding relationship and you both have been there for each other, have sought comfort in hard times, then nothing can be a better wedding anniversary gift than this.

This is a minimal piece of moulded art for your home which looks absolutely rich by the virtue of its shiny base metal which can be brass or copper. I am sure it will be a prised possession for your partner.

5. A Customised Anniversary Hamper of Goodies

Did I hear you say, foodie? Is your partner the ultimate foodie? Then why look for wedding anniversary gift ideas when you have the perfect gift idea with you already.

Go and get a notepad and a pen and start listing out the eatables that your partner loves to munch on through the day or even occasionally. Do keep tabs on her favourite bakeries in the city.

If possible, you may even ask a friend coming over or go an extra mile yourself to bring things from local joints in another city which your partner absolutely loves.

Say, you live in Ghaziabad and your husband loves Karachi Halwa of Chandni Chowk, how adorably surprising would that be? Stuff everything into a big basket including biscuits, chocolates, cakes, wine and whatever else comes to your mind and wrap it up with nets and ribbons.

6. Write your beloved partner a postcard

Pouring your emotions out with ink is one of the most effective wedding anniversary gift ideas. When it comes to thoughtful gifts, nothing beats the written form of emotion. Even though the entire writing thing counts under old school romance, yet it can be moulded differently.

Almost every article listing wedding anniversary gift ideas will suggest you write a letter. Have you thought about writing a postcard instead?

It is a well-accepted fact that less of anything makes it way more valuable. Less of words written on a postcard will carry a deeper emotion for your partner and consequently, it will become very precious to your partner than a long love letter. Choose one of your favourite pictures, say your first sunrise together, or one from your honeymoon which carries a much deeper emotion with it and get it printed on a postcard.

Knock knock! “Postman”.

7. Couple Clothing Goals

This one might sound cheesy but it is actually one of the most popular wedding anniversary gift ideas. Getting the same clothes for both the partners is one of the oldest but golden ideas to go for. You may either choose a specific pattern or a particular colour combination. You may wisely choose the details, say, a combo of favourite colours of you both or a leaf pattern if you are a nature loving couple or even pizza if nothing else makes sense.

You can either get one stitched for both of you or get it customised through innumerable vendors available online or in your nearest shopping complex. You may even experiment with the clothes like getting a single sweatshirt for two attached to make one, specially made for your anniversary. A picture in such quirky matching outfits is going to be one of your fondest memories when you grow old, together (totally about to cry imagining this).
