The Best Anniversary Gifts For Him 2023

Whether you’ve been in a relationship for six months, a year or a few decades, every anniversary calls for a reason to celebrate. It also calls for a reason to shop. Of course, searching for the perfect present for your boyfriend, fiancé or husband is easier said than done. Finding the best anniversary gifts for him requires you to really take a holistic approach and think about everything you already know: His favorite hobbies, his personality, his likes and dislikes. Does he prefer clothes to jewelry? The latest tech gadgets? A memorable experience?

Whether your significant other loves sports, gadgets or cooking up the perfect pizza, here are the ... [+] best anniversary gifts for him to celebrate the special occasion.

The options are endless. That’s why it’s best to think about your anniversary as an opportunity to give your partner something that he wouldn’t typically buy himself. Sure, you want it to be something practical that he’ll actually put to use. But if he’s been eyeing, say, a fancy new whiskey decanter that he’d never actually splurge on, well, what better way to show how much you care than by wrapping it up with a nice big bow.

The reality is, thoughtfulness goes pretty far when shopping for the best gifts for him. So whether you decide to go all out and buy something a bit extra this year or choose to keep things simple, remember that your significant other is going to love whatever you pick because it’s from you. Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t seek inspiration—which is why we’re here to help. Here are 25 of the very best anniversary gifts for him.

Therabody

Therabody’s facial device, TheraFace Pro, makes a great gift for anyone looking to relax after a long day (or before the start of one). Using the same percussive therapy as the brand’s hit Theragun Body Massager, the hard-working tool not only reduces tension in your facial muscles, jaw, neck and head, but it also boasts skin-toning microcurrent and rejuvenating red and blue light therapy treatments to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and acne. Buy it for him, but be sure to steal the occasional moment with it for yourself, too.

Tom Dixon

Sure, there are many great decanters out there—but this sculptural, scientific glassware-inspired style from Tom Dixon feels particularly special. Featuring a metallic brushstroke design that’s hand-painted in Poland, the silver accents on the decanter—and the pair of matching glasses that come with it—are a nod to the brand’s 20th anniversary. Why not make it a nod to your own anniversary, too?

Mr Porter

You can never go wrong with a Tom Ford gift, and this men’s wallet is no exception. Crafted in Italy, the bifold style is made from supple full-grain leather and—despite having eight card slots and a bill sleeve inside—it looks slim, not bulky. The foiled gold logo adds the ultimate final touch.

Caspet

For the guy who has trouble falling asleep—or waking up—Casper’s sleek and smart bedside touch lamp is the answer. Before bed, it emits warm light at the brightness of your choosing, which gradually dims to help you doze off. After what’s (hopefully) a sound night of sleep, it’ll also help you rise thanks to soft light that slowly fills the room; your wake-up schedule and more can be customized on the app.

Todd Snyder

New York City-based designer Todd Snyder recently teamed up with the NBA for a collection that will thrill the guy who never misses a big game. This soft cashmere cardigan is one of the label’s luxe, functional pieces that gets a cool athletic update thanks to intarsia stripes on one sleeve and a patch that features a team logo (there are six options available). Whether he wears it courtside or at home, it’ll be a win-win for you.

Amazon

If sleeping next to your significant other turns the bed into an inferno of sorts, a cooling comforter can be a godsend. And with this hypoallergenic and super lightweight one from Rest Duvet, the days of night sweats will be long behind him—and, of course, you. The brand’s Evercool technology allows its fabric to absorb and transfer heat 10 times faster than cotton, and the fibers quickly absorb water for a dry and temperature-regulated environment. The blanket is also machine washable and silky to the touch. Dreamy, indeed.

Mr Porter

If his current toiletry bag has seen better days, consider treating him to an upgrade for your anniversary. This dark blue version from Paul Smith has a cool ombré effect that adds a bright pop of color to an otherwise muted design. It’s crafted from durable canvas and features interior mesh pockets for keeping things nice and organized.

Solo Stove

For the guy that loves to put his culinary skills to the test, Solo Stove’s Pi Pizza Oven will make his authentic Italian dreams come true. Easy to use and with a modern and portable stainless steel design, it’s a sleek addition to any backyard. And with dual-fuel capabilities (you can either use wood, or buy a gas burner that’s sold separately to use propane), it bakes true wood-fired pizza that will spice up many date nights to come.

Mejuri

The signet ring is officially cool again, and despite its simplicity—or perhaps because of it—this no-fuss version from Mejuri makes quite the style statement. Handcrafted in black titanium, the material is strong but lightweight, meaning that he can wear it all day, everyday. If you’d rather go for a traditional silver titanium style, that’s also a winning option.

Parachute

There’s a reason Parachute’s spa-worthy plush robe has a cult following. Made from machine-washable Turkish cotton, it keeps you comfy post-shower but isn’t too heavy for lounging around on warmer days (there are even two front pockets to carry your essentials around the house). Available in six colors, there’s an option for everyone here; this stone shade is especially nice and will have him feeling like he’s being pampered at the spa.

Sephora

Let’s be real, any gift labeled Hermés is going to be a hit. But for the guy who's been thinking about switching up his regular scent, this is a great option. The brand’s first major men’s fragrance to be released in 15 years, it trades the usual woody notes of a cologne for something a bit lighter. The result is a fresh scent with botanical notes of clary sage, narcissus, rosewood and scalarene. He’ll like it, and just as importantly, so will you.

Lululemon

Lululemon is a go-to for great joggers, and this pair is certainly stylish in its own right. With a drawstring waistband and a classic-tapered fit that sits just above the ankle, he’ll feel like he’s wearing sweats but have a slightly elevated athleisure look. Thanks to the brand’s stretch performance Warpstreme fabric, they’re also quick-drying, breathable and maintain their shape without getting wrinkled. Bonus points for having great pocket storage, too.

Better World Fragrance House

Whether he’s a Drake fan or not (although really, who isn’t?), this candle will—as the name of the brand suggests—better his world. The Muskoka scent is warm and woody, with notes of amber, cloves, Guaiac wood and sandalwood. It’s perfect to light during a cozy night at home spent watching a movie or, naturally, listening to his favorite Drizzy album on repeat.

On

On is known for its stylish, supportive sneakers, and this pair is as versatile as they come. The brand’s signature ultra-light 3-layer mesh is breathable and durable enough for any workout his heart desires, from a HIIT class to everyday training. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that they’re cool enough to seamlessly transition from a morning at the gym to brunch and afternoon errands.

Nordstrom

Step up his skincare routine with this gift set from Jack Black. It includes four facial products—a daily cleanser, an energizing pre-shave scrub, a lightweight moisturizer with SPF 20 and a sunscreen-infused emollient lip balm—in TSA-approved sizes, so his skin will stay clean and smooth no matter where life takes him.

Pleasing

You probably already love Harry Styles and his fashion choices, and with this hoodie, you can subtly encourage your partner to channel his own inner rock star. Made from soft cotton—50% organic, 50% recycled—the bright red sweatshirt from Styles’ lifestyle brand, Pleasing, is so comfortable that you just might want to grab one for yourself, too.

BOSS

Who said that loungewear can’t look sharp? A limited-edition collaboration between Boss Menswear and the NFL, this French terry cotton crewneck will have him feeling casual and cool as he reps his #1 football team (as long as it happens to be the Raiders, Cowboys, Rams, Giants or Dolphins). It’s comfy enough that you just might even want to borrow it.

Casper

If he has a hard time falling—or staying—asleep, allow Casper’s innovative new pillow to change life as he knows it. The innovative design is made from cool, breathable materials that prevent overheating for 12-plus hours, while the hybrid foam and fiber filling provide the utmost comfort and support.

The House of LR&C

An elevated essential goes a long way, and these low-top sneakers from Good Man Brand will certainly take him far. Handcrafted with ultra-soft premium Italian suede, the style from NFL quarterback Russell Wilson’s fashion brand will have him feeling like a star no matter which neutral shade you choose (black is always a winner, although the sand and army green are also particularly nice). Just imagine how good they’d look with his favorite jeans.

Sur La Table

Happy hour will never be the same once you introduce him to Bartesian’s Premium Cocktail Maker. The smart machine is basically a full-on bar: It includes five tempered glass bottles for liquor (vodka, whiskey, tequila, gin and rum) and water, plus a six-capsule variety pack of the brand’s cocktail mixers. All he has to do is insert the capsule, select his desired drink strength and press “mix.” It’ll save him time and effort, but he’ll still feel like a mixologist.

Goldbelly

If your partner is a foodie, then this gift will please him unlike any other. With Goldbelly’s three-month subscription, he’ll get a curated box of the most sought-after delicacies across the United States delivered right to his door. From the savory to the sweet, it’ll be a fun monthly surprise—and one that will feed at least four people, so you can even invite some company over to keep the good times going.

Foot Locker

Given their ubiquitous nature, you’ve probably spotted Hoka’s Ora Recovery Slides somewhere in the wild by now. And it’s clear why so many have joined in on the trend. The sandal’s sustainable construction puts it on the cool end of the eco-conscious athleisure spectrum, and he’ll love its traction, support and breathability.

Farfetch

He doesn’t have to be a dad to wear a dad hat, and this one from Carhartt is stylish enough to wear on repeat. The subtle black heart-shaped patch makes it the perfect anniversary gift without being too cute, and while the all-black version would go with anything, we’re pretty sure he’d be just as happy to receive it in navy or white.

Smythson

Even if you’re not going on a romantic vacation to celebrate your anniversary, the frequent flyer will be delighted to receive one of Smythson’s crossgrain leather passport covers. In the brand’s newest seasonal shade of neon yellow, he’ll always be able to spot it in his carry-on—or in the drawer as he remembers to grab it on his way to the airport. To make it even more special, have it personalized with his initials for an additional charge.

Parfums De Marly

This Parfums de Marly fragrance is described as “a contrasting scent of light and shadow,” and we have to admit, that’s a great way to put it. Inspired by 18th-century fragrances but made for the man of today, it’s meant to take its wearer on a sensory journey of tradition and innovation with notes of bergamot, saffron, oud wood and leather. It smells downright rich—and at this price point, we’d expect nothing less.
