Anniversaries are a special day to celebrate the love you share with your husband, to recognize the time you’ve spent together, and to acknowledge your special connection and commitment. When you choose a personalized present you are giving a gift that is as unique as the person you are celebrating with.
Each anniversary year has a specific traditional or modern theme and that can make finding the perfect gift for your husband a challenge, especially if you want to give him something personalized. That’s why we’ve selected some of our favorite personalized anniversary gifts for every year of marriage from the first to the fifteenth. Make your anniversary celebration memorable by giving your husband a gift created just for him.
The most important thing to remember about choosing the right gift is to give something from the heart. No one knows your husband as well as you do, so our goal is to provide creative ideas to help you find the perfect gift. You can browse the gifts we’ve selected for every year or click your anniversary year on the table below to jump to gift ideas specific to that year’s themes.
Personalized 1st Anniversary Gifts for Him
The first anniversary chronicles the first of many for your marriage. Paper is the traditional gift for the first anniversary. Like paper, a young marriage can be delicate and fragile. But it also represents new beginnings and a blank page on which to write your love story.
Clocks are the modern first anniversary gift and signify your time together and a promise of many happy years to come. Personalized wall art or engraved clocks are a great gift options for the first anniversary.
- Personalized with names and date
- Includes 100 push pins
- Available framed or unframed in three sizes
Personalized 2nd Anniversary Gifts for Him
Cotton is the traditional gift for the second anniversary. Durability, flexibility and comfort are characteristics of cotton and excellent elements to have in a young marriage.
The modern second anniversary gift is china. Strong and delicate at the same time, china symbolizes the fragility and increasing stability of a marriage entering its second year. Because china and dinnerware aren’t easily personalized, we recommend choosing a custom gift made from cotton for your second anniversary.
- Personalize with your song, names and wedding date
- Printed on uncolored cream cotton fabric
- Multiple print size and framing options available
Personalized 3rd Anniversary Gifts for Him
Leather gifts are traditional for the third anniversary and symbolize the strength, flexibility and durability of your marriage after three years together. The modern gift for the third anniversary is crystal or glass. While crystal and glass can still be fragile, they also represent elegant beauty and the opportunity to reflect on the love you share with your husband. Adding a monogram to a functional leather item or glassware gift are great ideas for a third anniversary gift.
In addition to traditional and modern gifts, each anniversary also has an associated gemstone. Pearl is the third anniversary gemstone which represents the perfect union of your marriage. Personalized gifts inlaid with mother of pearl are a good option for a more masculine gemstone gift for this year.

Personalized 4th Anniversary Gifts for Him

By the fourth year of marriage you might also find yourself in a larger home or with a growing family. The modern fourth anniversary gift of appliances gives you the opportunity to make a practical upgrade or give a specialty item that you might not otherwise buy.

Silverware is the modern gift for five years of marriage. By the time you’ve reached this milestone, then you’ve probably shared hundreds of meals with your husband. Commemorate the occasion with a monogrammed silverware set and the promise of a thousand more.

Personalized 6th Anniversary Gifts for Him
The sixth anniversary gives you the option of candy or iron for the traditional gift. Representing the ongoing strength of your marriage, iron is more difficult to personalize. Nothing is sweeter than a gift of candy which is why we recommend it over iron for a personalized sixth anniversary gift.
The modern sixth anniversary gift is wood, which was also the traditional gift for the fifth anniversary. With so many gift options available, wood gives you another opportunity to give a personalized gift specific to your husband’s interests or needs.

Personalized 8th Anniversary Gifts for Him
Bronze is the traditional eighth anniversary gift. Made from a fusion of copper and tin, bronze represents the loving union between you and your husband. Since bronze items are typically made using different casting methods, it can be difficult to find personalized bronze items. Brass, a metal alloy similar to bronze, is a common alternative for eighth anniversary gifts.
The modern gift for eight years of marriage is linens & lace. Comprised of functional and beautiful items, linens & lace represent the delicate balance of a successful marriage. Personalized linens, such as household items like pillows and luxury towels, are a good direction to take when choosing a modern gift for for your husband.

For a personalized gift this year we recommend choosing the modern gift theme. The modern ninth anniversary gift is leather, which represents the continued strength and durability of your marriage. Leather is also the traditional third anniversary gift. With many practical gift options available, leather gives you another opportunity to choose a gift specific to your husband’s interests or needs.

Personalized 14th Anniversary Gifts for Him
Ivory is the traditional gift for the fourteenth year of marriage. Due to its rarity, ivory has long been revered as a symbol of opulence. Since the ivory trade has resulted in the decline of elephant populations and is now illegal, we recommend that you instead choose a personalized gift that is ivory in color.
The modern gift for the fourteenth anniversary is gold jewelry. Like this year’s traditional ivory gift, gold is a rare material that also represents prosperity. Choose a set of monogrammed accessories or add an engraving to a piece of gold jewelry for a treasured reminder of the perfect unity of your marriage.
