Anniversary gift ideas
The anniversary gifts people remember are rarely the most expensive. They are the ones that show you remember the story of the two of you.
Gifts that tell your story
- A photo book of your year, or your years, with a line written under each picture.
- A recreated first date: the same restaurant, the same dish, the same song.
- A letter about one ordinary day you both loved.
- A pair of stars side by side in the sky, one named for each of you, with your wedding date on the certificate.
Gifts to use together
- A weekend trip somewhere neither of you has been.
- A class together: cooking, dance, pottery.
- A night under the sky away from city lights, with a blanket and binoculars. A star page shows where to look.
Traditional gifts by year
Some couples like the old custom of a material for each year: paper for the first, cotton for the second, leather for the third, silver for the twenty-fifth. Paper for the first year suits a printed certificate or a letter well.
Tips
- Plan two weeks ahead for anything printed, framed or delivered.
- If you are far apart, a digital gift with a personal message arrives in minutes.
A named star is a symbolic gift kept in our private registry. It is not recognised by the International Astronomical Union.
