Cute Couple's Gifts to Give on a Marriage Anniversary! Choose from Our 10 Modern Anniversary Gifts for Indian Couples (2020)

An anniversary is a special occasion. If you have received an invitation to an Anniversary party then you definitely can’t show up empty-handed. Flowers and chocolates are great. But what if the people you are buying the gifts for are people you are very close to? Like your parents for instance? Or your best friends? Wouldn’t you want your gift to be a bit more memorable in that case? Picking up an anniversary gift for a couple can be tricky business but not if you follow a few simple guidelines.

The simplest and oldest rule of buying anniversary gifts is by the year of marriage. The first year is paper, the second year is cotton and it goes on like that. Having a designated material for a gift can help you narrow down your choices and make it easier for you to pick a gift.

If you don’t want to stick to age-old traditions and play it by the book then there are other ways to select your gift. The couple’s personality is one factor which can help you decide. Usually, a married couple will have shared interests and things that they both like. For example, some couples love to entertain. If you are friends with a couple who loves hosting dinner parties and brunches then gift them a beautiful dinner set or a set of glasses. If the couple is bohemian and artistic, gift them a painting or a nice vintage poster. If they are into sports and love spending time outdoors, give them camping equipment or a set of tennis racquets. A bottle of vintage wine for wine lovers, movie festival passes for people who love art films and a great set of kitchen knives for gourmet lovers are all thoughtful gifts which you can consider.

What is the age of the couple you are buying your gift for? Are they in their mid-twenties or are both of them sexagenarians? People’s taste change with age and so does their lifestyle. The activities that a person in their twenties will enjoy may be different from that which a person in their fifties will love. You can consider giving your friends something a bit naughty like a dirty card game but if you are celebrating your grandparents’ anniversary then you definitely have to think differently.

Choosing your gifts based on the age of the couple also helps you narrow down your choices. There are certain gifts which work for all ages like crockery or home décor. But do consider their taste before you pick your gift. For older couples, we would suggest gifts like books, crystal, porcelain or metal figurines, a set of embroidered towels, comfortable his and her house slippers. For younger couples, you can pick your gift based on your level of intimacy with the couple. Quirky canvas prints, wine glasses, beer mugs and personalised gifts with fun wacky messages are all great gifts.

This is the perfect gift for the couple who can’t imagine date night without a glass or two of their favourite wine. Engraved wine glasses will make any occasion seem that much more special. The Engraved Wine Glasses set is perfect for a couple who likes a bit of fun in their lives. These stemmed wine glasses from the brand Ocean have a volume 0f 350ml. One glass is engraved with their names and a small custom message on the glasses. Just provide the information at the time of ordering. Buy the set for Rs. 1,299 from fnp.com.

It may be the age of digital photos now but for older couples, physical photographs are the documentation of their life and they need to be protected.

Spending one’s anniversary with a bunch of people is not the most romantic option. The best surprise for a couple would, therefore, be a surprise date for just the two of them. Arranging a surprise date is not hard, but maintaining it is. If the couple in question is your close friend, relative or parents then it is another matter. Otherwise, take the aid of someone who is close to them. Make sure that they don’t slip up and ruin the surprise. Get them to take the husband and the wife to the venue of the date, but separately to maintain the illusion.
