He’ll Love These Unique Anniversary Gifts, No Matter What Year You’re Celebrating

Despite this being a golf speaker, he can use it on and off the green. This Bluetooth wonder will keep the tunes blasting throughout all 18 holes, and because it can magnetically attach to the golf cart, it won’t get accidentally left behind. It even has a built-in GPS, which he can use for calculating front, back, and center distances at over 36,000 golf courses across the world.

For an anniversary gift you can both benefit from, opt for this portable percussive massage gun. Easier to hold and maneuver than a traditional massager, this tiny machine can help ease sore muscles or stiff necks at the press of a button. It’s a personal favorite of our editors, too.

Sure, pants don’t seem like the most exciting anniversary gift out there, but we know that these ones are sure to impress. These are sleek enough to wear to the office, the golf course, or a celebratory anniversary dinner, and they’ll remain wrinkle-free all day long (no iron required).

If you are both the type to stay in rather than go out, why not celebrate your anniversary in a buttery soft robe? This one from Brooklinen is made from waffle-knit Turkish cotton that quickly wicks water away from the body post-shower and keeps you warm on chilly days. He’ll love that it’s super soft and has pockets for his phone, and you’ll love “borrowing” it for your daily morning routine. Or, if you’re feeling generous, you could get a matching set to lounge in for a romantic movie night.

For the man who is always the life of the party, a portable speaker with style makes for an amazing gift. Not only can he bring this with him just about anywhere, but it looks sleek sitting on his office bookshelf or bedside table, too. It’ll play for about 20 hours on a single charge, and he can easily connect his phone to it to wirelessly play his favorite tunes. 

We’ve all seen the wallet scene from Crazy, Stupid, Love, and if your man is still using a velcro bifold, it’s time for an upgrade. This leather one is simple yet stunning, and it can be monogrammed with his initials. Each Shinola wallet is made in the United States, and the craftsmanship and quality speak for themselves. John happens to love this brand, especially for their watches.

Speaking of upgrades, gifting him a pair of classy leather oxfords to replace his worn-out sneakers is another gift idea. Nisolo created this pair from buttery soft leather, and they’re comfortable enough he might actually want to wear them every day. They’re responsibly made with high-quality materials, and they come in four different colors to suit his style.

This is definitely a splurge item, but if your partner is big into cooking, chances are it’ll pay for itself. This gas-powered pizza oven creates restaurant-worthy pies in just one minute. It takes about 20 minutes to preheat, but by the time it’s ready to pop a pizza in, the interior of the oven will be about 950 degrees, meaning it can cook a pizza in about 60 seconds flat. Imagine the pizza parties you can host with this thing!

A man on the go knows how important a good travel bag is, which is why this sleek and simple duffle would make for the perfect gift. Interior pockets will keep his valuables safe and organized, while exterior ones will hold his phone and passport for easy access. On the side, there is a zippered shoe compartment to keep his shoes away from clean clothes on the inside of the bag. To top it off, this bag is light enough he could easily pack it in his suitcase just in case he thinks he may need some more storage for the journey back from a business trip or weekend away.

We’ve all got to stay hydrated, but carrying around a coffee mug, water bottle, keys, phone, and wallet for the morning commute can be a pain. Lessen his load by gifting him this two-in-one reusable coffee cup and water bottle. The coffee cup actually nests into the bottle until it’s ready to use, saving space and cutting down on single-use cups. When he’s ready for his morning caffeine fix, he can simply remove the cup from the bottom, give it to the barista to fill and put a lid on, and then snap the cup to the top of the bottle, where it will securely sit until he removes it. 

Sentimental fathers and partners will appreciate custom photo art, especially if it’s coming from you. You can choose five photos to feature in this piece, either of the two of you or the whole family, and there’s space for a short line of text at the bottom to commemorate the occasion. The art will arrive framed, too, so that’s one less trip to the store you have to make. Art is a go-to anniversary gift in the Couric/Molner household — Katie and John will often find a piece of art they both like and make it a joint gift to each other. How cute!

Whiskey advocates and cocktail connoisseurs will love to have a barrel of their own to age spirits in, especially when it’s branded with their name. This tabletop piece may look like décor, but it’s actually a functioning barrel he can age just about any liquor in. The wood will impart notes of vanilla, oak, coconut, and butter into whatever he adds inside. The hardest part is being patient enough to wait for the liquor to age, which can take a few months if he really wants to get a full-flavored product.

Premade cocktails don’t only save time before dinner, but they can sometimes be better than the ones you make at home. If he’s got the cocktail recipe down, though, maybe he’d be up for this cocktail aging kit, which uses a charred piece of white oak to impart flavors into whatever drink he’s made. Simply pour the cocktail (like an old-fashioned or Manhattan) into the included bottle, slip the oak into the bottle, cork it, and wait a few days for it to age. By the weekend, he’ll have smoky, flavorful drinks for the whole table.

This tiny gift is a literal hole in one. PXG creates gear for those who are intense about perfecting their golf game, and these balls are no exception. They’re made to help enhance distance and control, no matter the kind of shot he’s making.

Anniversaries are all about reflecting on the memories you’ve made together, and what’s a better way to do that than creating your own photo album? Maybe you didn’t get a wedding album after your big day or you just want somewhere to safely house photos and mementos together, this DIY kit allows you to take a literal stroll down memory lane together while you organize photos and keepsakes into a beautiful coffee table book.
