Funny Anniversary Gifts

A little humor goes a long way in showing someone just how much they mean to you. Dive into the repertoire of jokes that you share and create pieces of funny wall art to display at home. Love to make your partner laugh? Immortalize your favorite joke or comical quote with anniversary personalized gifts. If you met your partner online, make light of the situation with a sign that says “You are the best thing that I have found online.” You can even take that one step further by adding a nickname, the name of the dating site, or a thoughtful message. There are also plenty of choices for funny anniversary gifts for him. If he is a baseball fan then a sign that says “You are my best catch” is guaranteed to get a laugh. Add in a symbol of a baseball glove, baseball or the logo of their favorite team for added punch.

His and Her Anniversary Gifts

As a couple, there is an unwritten law that “what’s mine is yours”. So celebrate your union with a tasteful reminder of the dynamic duo you are. A stylish his and hers gift is the ideal way to make your house feel like a home. If you are recently married, celebrate sharing the same last name with Mr and Mrs signs. “Mr & Mrs. Smith Est. 1993” is a great conversation starter for guests. Display it in your entryway alongside your wedding photography so that each time you return home you are reminded of happy memories. And, if you are a couple who enjoys mixing a drink and catching up on the day’s events, a “his and hers” bar sign is a playful addition to the kitchen decor. “The Jones’ bar” or ‘Sally & Tom’s Happy Hour’ are fun choices for your home bar.

Stylish but Cheap Anniversary Gifts

If money is tight, don’t let budget get in the way of buying anniversary personalized gifts. For very little investment you can create a timeless gift full of thought. While this kind of gift requires a lot of planning, it will be worth the effort when you see the smile on their face. If your partner has conquered a corner of the home, mark their invasion with a sign. “Mark’s Man Cave” or “Mike’s Shed” are fun ways to make your partner feel even more at home. Another idea for affordable personalized anniversary gifts is to create a nameplate that displays the year of the wedding and a loving phrase. “08/30/2002 - the first day of the rest of our lives” is a sign that would look especially good on the wall next to photos of all your happy moments shared together as man and wife.

What Are Failproof Anniversary Gifts for Women?

Men, you spoke and we heard you loud and clear! Instead of aimlessly typing “best anniversary gifts for girlfriend” into Google take inspiration from our signs for all occasions. Most girls dream of a fairytale life when they’re young so rewrite the story with a sign. “Once upon a time Jane was sweet and demure, then she met Doug” makes for a funny message for anniversary personalized gifts. Or, on a more serious note, show her how much you love her with a romantic quote such as “If I had my life to live again, I would find you sooner so that we can be together longer”. Other cute phrases include:

To me, you are perfect!

Love is friendship that has caught on fire

I would find you in any lifetime

Love you yesterday, love you still, always have, always will.

Walk with me through life and I will have everything I need for the journey.

Last Minute Anniversary Gifts

If you have left it to the last minute and can no longer personalize an enamel sign, not all is lost. Instead of commissioning a sign with a personal message stenciled onto it, get the toolbox out and create your own. Using ready-made house numbers, select the digits needed to create the year that you were married and mount them onto a plank of wood. This is a fantastic way to give DIY anniversary gifts for her and you can win extra brownie points by keeping to the interior decor style she has chosen for the home. If the interiors are Farmhouse, mounting the signs onto repurposed, rustic wood is ideal. For a modern aesthetic, painted MDF is the perfect canvas. And, add small hooks to the wood and use them to store your keys so that you can be reminded of your special day each time you leave the house.

Anniversary Gifts for Friends

Strictly speaking, anniversary gifts are not only reserved for your loved one. Friends and family members would also love to receive anniversary personalized gifts. From thoughtful 5-year anniversary gifts to big-ticket items that mark a milestone like the gold or silver anniversary, something personalized shows that you care. Think gorgeous curated gifts that show off the couple’s great sense of style. Keep it classic and classy with their names and the date they were married “The Millers - 10-30.2004 - New York City”. Or get playful with the facts using phrases like these:

The Lawson’s! Making memories since 2002

10 years and still going strong. The Jacobs, EST 2012
