Top Six Anniversary Gifts For Him

Wooden Docking Station

Does your husband constantly lose his keys, phone, sunglasses or other important things? This wooden docking station is perfect for all those times his car keys run away. Long gone are the days of, “I can’t find my phone, can you call it?” With this convenient and personable gift, he’ll have one centralized place to store all his valuables: keys, phone, sunglasses, a watch, a flash drive, his wallet or anything else he would prefer not to misplace. This is such a helpful gift you’ll probably want one of your own!

 Personalized Cigar Holder Whiskey Glass With Personalized Coaster and Wood Box

The wooden anniversary comes with a great excuse to buy grown-up drinking accessories. We couldn’t release this list without raving about this modern take on the whiskey and cigar pairing. Here we have a square drinking glass with a slot to place a cigar without having to worry about stacking it on an ashtray and the possibility of it rolling onto the floor. It also comes with matching wood coasters and a personalized wood keepsake box for storage! Have your man feel like Gomez Addams or Rhett Butler with his new whiskey and cigar set! 

 Personalized Whiskey Decanter with Glasses and Wood Tray 

Maybe your hubby isn’t the type to carry around a wood flask, but if he’s still a whiskey lover and a man of good taste, he’ll probably be over the moon for this personalized whiskey decanter with matching glasses and a classic wood tray to display them on. He can proudly display these in his home office for a 1940’s mob boss vibe, or in your kitchen. Glassware adds a touch of sophistication to any decor. Why drink your liquor in any old glass when you could do it in luxury? Whether these remain a decorative piece or are used for small gatherings, there’s no doubt he’ll be floored when he sees this gift.

Wood Cufflinks

For your fifth anniversary, let’s assume your husband is taking you out to a very snazzy dinner and having you play dress up. We both know you’re going to look breathtaking, but your man should look good too! Take that outfit and make it a LOOK. Stainless steel wood cufflinks are the way to go. It’s perfect for this year’s theme, and he’s going to look absolutely amazing with some jewelry of his own. Definitely a statement piece he can use for any occasion, as not everyone owns wooden cufflinks. Even men should get to feel like royalty sometimes, so for the King of your heart, gift him with style!

Personalized Wood Flask 

For the man that has everything, why not gift him with a classy, personalized wooden flask? Perfect as a conversation piece at parties or as a memento to display on your shelf. Get creative, get it engraved with his initials and the date of your anniversary, or for a more sentimental note, personalize it with a sweet message. A wooden flask will add a touch of class to his look or to your home amongst your possessions. Your man will stand out amongst the rest with this gentlemanly token of love. It’s sophisticated and plays well with the wooden gift tradition. Bottoms up!

Razor with Handcrafted Wooden Handle 

Unless your spouse is a sea captain or a viking (but like, how cool would that be?), there’s a good chance he regularly shaves. Instead of using those gross plastic razors that end up in the trash when they get rusted and overused, get him something he can treasure, like this handcrafted wooden razor with interchangeable blades! Displayed upon a chic toiletries tray, his morning routine will have a rustic, more refined feel.

Sapphire Princess Cut Pendant

The second traditional anniversary stone is beautiful blue sapphire! Sapphire is associated with being the stone of royalty and wealth, integrity and wisdom. It has also been used for mental and spiritual healing. For example, bringing balance to the mind and body and overall peace of mind. Sapphire has played a role with ancient religion and historical figures. Some people believe sapphire keeps us faithful to our partners which is why it makes for a good anniversary stone. (see this article on more sapphire history). Get her “something blue” and beautiful with the gift of sapphire. A simple, but stunning sapphire pendant is a perfect anniversary gift she can wear daily to be reminded of your everlasting love and faithfulness while also bestowing spiritual balance. Plus, it’s so pretty!

 Bamboo Wood Bath Caddy

She’s all about self love and at home spa days. She’s the kind of woman that always keeps her nails manicured, uses face masks, and loves bubble baths. She’s always got those scented bath bombs or bath salts on deck and always makes her bath-time an experience. Give her beauty routine a little convenience with a wood bath caddy! These have so many slots and cubbies to hold anything she wants to bring in with her without worrying about dropping it in the water! She can secure her phone or ipad to listen to music or catch up on the most recent episode of the Bachelor (don’t pretend like that’s not your favorite too). She can easily set down a wine glass without fear of spilling, a scented candle, and all her lotions and potions she’ll use while she relaxes. She’s going to be over the moon with this gift and perhaps she’ll let you borrow it too.
