Best Anniversary Gifts for Him: Our Top Picks for 2025

As a gift this necklace punches above its price — in our testing the initials pendant looks unique and beautiful and gives a high-end appearance while costing under $25. We found it sits light and elegant on the chest, making it practical for daily wear, but note the chain can feel delicate and will likely need gentle handling. During our review we also flagged limited customization and potential for tarnishing over time, so store it away from moisture to keep the finish.

If you want a quick, ready-to-hang memento, these couple canvas prints are a convenient choice — in our testing they arrived with included hardware that made setup straightforward. We found the prints are lightweight and look tidy on living room walls, but during our review some canvases appeared dull and lacked texture compared with product photos. Our experience shows colors can come out darker than expected, so double-check previews and allow extra time for returns if matching a room’s palette matters.

This personalized wooden watch makes a memorable, budget-friendly anniversary option — during our review the engraving and included wooden box added real sentimental value. We found it is lightweight and comfortable for everyday wear, but our experience shows the materials sometimes read as cheap or plastic-like and the dark watch face can make time hard to read. Some users also reported strap issues, so plan to handle it gently and consider swapping the band if you need long-term durability.

For a deeply personal anniversary gift, the Night Sky star map delivers a striking visual — in our testing the custom maps are beautifully executed with stunning detail that makes them feel special. We found the print quality and design can be top-notch and a real conversation piece in the home, but during our review some customers reported late delivery and occasional blurriness or color inaccuracies. Our experience shows ordering early and checking proofs reduces risk of disappointment.

If he likes practical everyday gifts, this personalized leather wallet is a solid pick — in our testing the leather felt high-quality and the construction seems durable for daily carry. We found the personalization adds a thoughtful touch and the layout holds multiple cards comfortably, though during our review the wallet can be stiff at first and accessing cash becomes trickier when it’s fully loaded. Our experience shows you should allow a break-in period and double-check engraving alignment before gifting.

This 2win engraved wooden watch scores for style — during our review its unique design looked great with both suits and jeans, and the personalization gives it an emotional edge. We found it wears light and comfortable for daily use, but our experience shows some customers ran into durability problems with the movement failing after a few months and the engraving can lack contrast. It’s also not waterproof, so avoid wearing it in rain or during workouts to protect the wood.

Custom Map Cufflinks make a sentimental anniversary gift by immortalizing any map location—where you met, married, or shared a milestone—and in our testing the handcrafted finish feels more special than a generic accessory. We found finish options like silver tone, antique silver, and gunmetal help match different styles, and the attention to detail gives them an upscale look with dress shirts. During our review our experience shows trade-offs: production and shipping can take longer for custom orders, returns are often limited, and fine map detail may be less clear depending on the chosen location.

A Custom Engraved Decanter Set makes a refined anniversary gift—during our review the weighted glass, personalized engraving, and included wooden box create a polished presentation that feels gift-ready. In our testing we found the engraving can add an heirloom-quality touch when executed well and the set elevates a home bar or special occasion. Our experience shows quality control can be inconsistent: some engravings arrive lighter than expected and a small number of customers reported chips or defects, so inspect the set on arrival.

For backyard movie nights this GS50 projector impresses with durability and sound — in our testing its IPX2 splash resistance and 2.3-foot drop resistance made it feel rugged enough for outdoor use, and the integrated 2.1-channel audio produced fuller sound than typical portable projectors. We found the 4K input with crisp 1080p output looks great in dim conditions, but during our review 500 ANSI lumens limits performance in brighter settings and the 2.5-hour battery can cut longer sessions short. Also our experience shows popular streaming apps require extra setup.

If he likes rugged, made-in-USA outerwear, this flannel-lined waxed trucker is a winner — in our testing the waxed canvas felt durable and offered useful water resistance while the flannel lining added cozy warmth on chilly days. We found the jacket delivers excellent build quality, but during our review it started stiff and needs a break-in, and the shoulders can feel snug which limits layering. Our experience shows it’s ideal for fall and mild winter use, but not enough for extreme cold without extra layers.

In our testing the Mara Flat Card Holder felt like a true luxury minimalist — the slim profile slips into pockets without bulk and the Italian leather makes it durable and touchably elegant. We found it’s ideal for everyday carry when he values neatness and feel, but our experience shows the limited capacity can be frustrating if he carries many cards and cash. During our review the premium $220 price is justified by materials and finish for gift-worthy presentation, though it’s a stretch for budget-conscious buyers.

In our testing the Oval Signet Ring stands out as a bold piece—crafted from solid 925 sterling silver with a polished finish and white rhodium plating to resist tarnish. We found the tiger’s eye stone adds a warm, focused look often appreciated by someone who likes statement jewelry, but our experience shows the ring’s bold profile and limited size availability mean it won’t flatter every style or finger. During our review the $144 price sits as a meaningful investment under $500, so ensure the design fits his taste before gifting.

Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses are a bold anniversary pick for a tech-forward partner, offering hands-free photo and video capture plus an integrated AI assistant for navigation, translations, and quick info in real time; in our testing that convenience really shines during travel or busy outings. We found the built-in speakers deliver clear audio for calls and music while keeping you aware of your surroundings. During our review our experience shows the battery drains faster with heavy camera or AI use, the frames feel bulkier than regular glasses, and low-light photos are noticeably weaker, so plan for daytime use or shorter wear.

Marshall Acton III brings iconic retro Marshall styling into the home and packs a punch with deep bass and a wide soundstage that impresses music fans; in our testing the sound quality stands out for home listening. We found Bluetooth 5.2 provides reliable wireless connectivity and easy pairing for most devices. During our review our experience shows it requires a constant outlet because there’s no built-in battery, can distort at very high volumes, and is pricier than some rivals—so it’s best as a stationary home speaker rather than a portable option.

AirPods Pro (2nd generation) are a strong anniversary choice if he’s embedded in the Apple ecosystem, delivering balanced audio with deeper bass, clearer mids, and improved active noise cancellation that makes travel and busy commutes more pleasant. In our testing we found the four ear-tip sizes help secure a comfortable, stable fit for extended wear. During our review our experience shows downsides for non-Apple users—some features are limited to Apple devices—and the premium price plus occasionally over-sensitive touch controls are worth weighing before you buy.

In our testing the Sonos Roam 2 impresses as a portable speaker — its compact, lightweight design and clear vocals deliver strong sound for travel and small gatherings. We found the dual Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support makes it versatile for quick pairing on the go or better multi-room streaming at home, though our experience shows occasional connectivity hiccups and app-related headaches can interrupt playback. During our review the 10-hour battery lasted through day trips but feels short compared with some rivals, and at $179 it’s pricier than many similar portable options.

The Chefman Smokeless Electric Grill is an affordable indoor grilling solution that simplifies weeknight meals with a non-stick surface for easy cleanup and a removable water tray that cuts down on smoke—perfect for apartments. In our testing we found the adjustable temperature knob gives enough control to go from warming to light searing for proteins and vegetables. During our review our experience shows it won’t reach the intense sear of an outdoor grill, the non-stick coating can wear with heavy use, and the cooking surface can feel small for feeding more than two people.

Lovable Blend is a feel-good anniversary gift for a coffee lover who cares about causes: the company donates 20% of proceeds to local rescue partners and the beans are 100% fair trade and organic. In our testing we found the roast brews consistently and supports an ethical supply chain, so gifting it carries extra meaning beyond taste. During our review our experience shows the flavor notes can be subtle—some customers said individual tasting nuances aren’t pronounced—and a few reviewers felt it’s only modestly better than other sampler roasts.

The De'Longhi La Specialista Arte is a loaded semi-automatic espresso machine for someone who enjoys hands-on brewing: its integrated grinder with eight precise settings and active temperature control help you dial in extraction reliably. In our testing we found the My LatteArt steam wand produces silky microfoam that’s ideal for latte art and creamy drinks at home. During our review our experience shows a few ergonomic annoyances—the metal drain mat scratches easily, you’ll want to buy a separate knock box for grounds, and the pressure gauge lacks numerical markings for precise tuning.

Hatfields NitroPress is a standout present for a craft-coffee fan who wants bar-style nitro at home, built from premium stainless-steel parts that feel durable and infuse pure nitrogen for an ultra-smooth, creamy mouthfeel. In our testing we found the nitrogen infusion noticeably transforms cold brew and cocktails, producing a velvety texture many home setups can’t match. During our review our experience shows the main limitation is its 500ml capacity, which restricts how much nitro coffee you can brew at once—fine for solo use, less so for entertaining.

If you want a reliable daily driver with an elevated look, the Citizen Eco-Drive chronograph GMT is a standout — in our testing the blue dial balances sporty and dressy, and Eco-Drive technology removes the hassle of battery changes. We found setting the watch can be fiddly and sometimes needs jeweler assistance, and our experience shows the bezel’s plastic feel doesn’t match the stainless steel, which dents the overall finish. Still, it’s an excellent mid-range option for someone who values low maintenance.

Pick this box when you want momentum, because in our testing A Year of Dates delivered a variety of date ideas that genuinely keep weeks interesting and playful. We found several cards sparked easy, low-prep outings, but during our review some prompts skewed basic or impractical depending on your lifestyle. Our experience shows packaging can be hit-or-miss — a few customers received damaged boxes on delivery — so inspect contents on arrival and consider sturdier wrapping if you plan to gift it.

The Enno Vatti Top 100 Movies scratch-off poster is a playful anniversary gift for movie-loving couples who enjoy ticking classics off together; in our testing the curated list makes a great conversation starter and sparks date-night ideas. We found the tactile scratch-off format adds an element of fun and can lead to discovering films you might otherwise miss. During our review our experience shows the poster’s large size can be tricky to hang in smaller spaces, and the capped list of 100 titles may leave hardcore cinephiles wanting more.
