Let’s get into unique wedding anniversary gift ideas for friends:
Personalized Anniversary Gift Ideas
1. Personalized Bathrobe Set
2. Customize A Photo Album
If you know the couple well enough, you can print photos of them from over the years and put them in a photo album. Facebook is a great place to collect these photos if they are active on the app. You can also gift them the album, and they can put their photos in it as well.
The photobook linked is high quality and has many pages for the happy couple to put their cherished photos in. What I love about this gift is that they can put more photos in it as years pass, and if they have children, they can add photos of all of them as a family.
3. Personalized Wine Glasses
Whether you choose a monogrammed wine glass or personalized champagne glasses, either option makes a thoughtful gift idea for the couple. If you want a more personalized touch, gift the champagne glasses because you can put the couple's names and their wedding date on them.
4. Family Tree Photo Display
A family tree is a wonderful way to display the multigenerational love of a family. Any couple would love this gift for their anniversary.
5. Personalized Cutting Board
A personalized cutting board is a practical anniversary gift that will be used daily in the couple's kitchen. Either of these cutting boards would be a great anniversary gift for any couple. I love the marble and wood combo, and you can add cheese knives and a stand to your order as well if you want to add more to this thoughtful gift idea.
Experience Gifts
6. The Adventure Challenge
The adventure challenge is a fun way for couples to grow together through creative date nights! This book is filled with scratch-off date night ideas; they have to do it once they scratch off the idea, which makes it more fun! If you have a Polaroid camera, there is a place to put pictures from each adventure you do together.
7. Gift card to their favorite restaurant
What couple wouldn’t want to go out to their favorite restaurant? I know this is a generic gift, but include a handwritten note with the gift card, and it can be a truly memorable anniversary gift.
8. Cooking Class Gift Certificate
Gift a date night to your couple friends by sending them off to a cooking class! Having new experiences as a couple is important, and learning how to cook a new dish in a fun environment, like a cooking class, is a great way for a couple to bond.
9. Wine Tasting or Brewery Gift Card
If the couple loves their wine and beer, consider gifting them a wine-tasting or brewery gift card. Consider gifting them a gift card to a winery or brewery they have never been to before so they can discover a new favorite drink to share.
10. Boat Excursion
If they love to be on the water and they live near the ocean, river, or lake, consider gifting them a boat excursion. There are many options to choose from if you are near the ocean, like a sailboat ride, dinner cruise, or maybe something adventurous like parasailing! A boat ride would be a gift I would give my parents for their anniversary.
Food & Drink Gift Ideas
11. Wine Tote
Does the couple love wine and adventures? Then, gift them this fun wine tote they can use for picnics and gatherings. Level up this gift and give it with their favorite bottle of wine or wine from a local winery.
12. Coffee Mugs
For the coffee lover, gift a fun set of mugs for the happy couple. You can go with a fun set like one of the two above or find a local artist and purchase two from them. Pair this gift with local coffee the couple loves, making it the perfect gift idea for your friends.
13. Food Gift Basket
When in doubt, give the gift of food! Whether you make a gift basket yourself or order one from Amazon or Henry and David, you can't go wrong with giving food.
14. Cookbook
Does the couple love to cook together? If so, gift them a cookbook that they can enjoy together. Sometimes, the most special moments you spend with your spouse are in the kitchen
15. Beer/Wine Flight Board
Have the couple enjoy their beer and wine tasting at home with a flight board. Pair this board with wine from a local winery or beer from a local brewery for the couple to try in their home.
Sentimental Anniversary Gift Ideas
16. Shadow Box
A shadow box is a unique anniversary gift to display photos, treasures, and items from the couple's wedding day. They can put their wedding invite, a photo from their big day, dried flowers, and any other mementos from their day in the shadow box to display in their home.
17. Willow Tree Figure
A willow tree figurine is an amazing gift for a couple who has everything. This little statue captures a tender moment between a husband and wife that a couple can look at and always be reminded of their love for one another. I have gifted Willow Tree Figures before and they are always a hit.
18. Custom Puzzle
Put the couple's wedding photo on a puzzle and gift it to them for their anniversary. They can do the puzzle together each year on their anniversary, or they can do the puzzle, frame it, and put it up on the wall.
19. Then & Now Picture Frame
Give a gift that shows a couple's powerful love story with a then-and-now picture frame. Buy the frame and put in a photo of the couple on their wedding day and a recent photo of the couple. They will love this sentimental gift idea and that you thought of them on their anniversary.
20. Anniversary Journal
This anniversary journal gives the special couple a space to write their memories from dating to their proposal, wedding, childbirth, anniversaries, and more. I know they will cherish this unique gift they will use to capture daily memories for years to come.

21. Marriage Prayer Wall Art
If the couple is of Christian faith, this beautiful marriage prayer is the perfect gift for them! They can hang it in their home as a reminder of their commitment to each other and their upcoming marriage.
It may be hard to read the text in the picture above, but the prayer says, “Lord, thank you for binding us together as one. Help us love in practical ways so that nothing can divide us. May our words be kind and our thoughts gracious. We ask that you be the center and anchor of our marriage. Guide us and bless us. Help us to love each other as you love, with gentleness, patience, passion, and humility. Amen.”
22. Handmade Wooden Sign
This wooden sign is handmade and is truly a great gift for any couple. You can customize the sign with the couple's last name and wedding year. I know this lovely gift will hang in their house for years to come.
23. Metal Family Sign
This is another sign but it's made out of metal and would be perfect for an outdoor space. You can choose from various styles based on the couple's aesthetic.
24. Custom Song Wall Art
Put the couple's wedding song into wall art with this unique custom lyrics poster. This is an anniversary present that is perfect for the music lovers. You can also choose various styles for the poster in the Amazon listing.

This canvas is a beautiful reminder to any couple of the life they have built together. I love the personal touch of the children's name on this canvas, as your children are your legacy. This special gift is for couples who have built a beautiful life together.
Practical Anniversary Gift Ideas
26. Shark Robot Vacuum
If you want to splurge on a gift for a special couple, consider a practical gift like this Shark Robot Vacuum! Who wouldn't want a vacuum that cleans the floor all by itself?
27. Nespresso Machine
For the couple that is obsessed with coffee, you need to get them a Nespresso machine! If they are the couple that is going out frequently for coffee, they will love making their own lattes at home.
28. Meal Service Subscription
If your couple friends don’t like to cook, then a meal service subscription may be a great anniversary gift idea. You can use a company like Hello Fresh or a local company to provide freshly delivered meals.
29. Ninja Creami
Have you heard all of the rage around the Ninja Creami? It's an easy-to-use ice cream maker where you control your ingredients of what goes into your ice cream. If the couple has dietary restrictions, then this gift is perfect for them.
30. Cuisinart Air Fryer
This is another splurge gift but worth it for someone who loves air frying their food. This Cuisinart air fryer is made of stainless steel, better than the Teflon air fryers. Stainless steel is more durable and will last longer. I have a similar air fryer, which is amazing - I use it almost daily.
Romantic Anniversary Gift Ideas
31. Night at a Bed & Breakfast
One of the best anniversary gifts a family member has given me and my husband was a night at a bed and breakfast! This was an incredibly generous gift on our first wedding anniversary, but one that my husband and I will always look back and remember. If you can afford it, consider giving a gift certificate for a night stay at a hotel or quaint bed and breakfast.
32. Spa Day
Sometimes, the best gift is taking a day to relax – consider giving the couple a gift certificate to a spa, where they unwind together. If a hotel or spa retreat near the couple has spa-like amenities, they can spend a day together getting pampered for their anniversary.
33. Sunset Cruise
What is more romantic than being on a boat, watching the sunset over the water with a glass of wine and the love of your life? Nothing! Why not gift a sunset cruise for the couple? If they love being on the water, this is perfect for them. Maybe even consider doing this as a double date with the couple and paying for their tickets.
34. Anniversary Photo Shoot
For the couple that doesn’t get enough photos of themselves together, gift them an anniversary photo shoot! They can create new memories and photos to be passed down from generation to generation. Photography is a timeless gift that continues to give for years to come.
35. Personalized Pebble Art
How beautiful is this pebble art? This piece of art shows the love of two souls growing old together and choosing to love each other daily. At least, that's how I see it. This is the kind of gift you could give for a 30th, 40th, or 50th anniversary. I can see myself giving this piece of art to my parents for their 40th anniversary.
I hope you found these 35 wedding anniversary gift ideas for friends helpful in searching for the perfect gift for your couple friends. Even though giving an anniversary gift to your friends is not a requirement, it is a very thoughtful gesture that is always appreciated.
