Luxury Anniversary Gifts for Him: Indulge His Passions This Year

During our review, the Theragun PRO Plus stood out for its 16 mm amplitude that digs deep into tight hamstrings and back muscles, and the heated attachment with near-infrared LED adds a spa-like boost to recovery. The ergonomic triangular grip and OLED screen make it easy to control intensity and track time. It is hefty at about 3.6 pounds and the price is steep, with some accessories sold separately. For the guy serious about recovery, we found the results justify the splurge.

We found the Braun Series 9 Pro 9465cc delivers a very close, comfortable shave, and the Clean & Charge station makes upkeep almost effortless, ideal for a busy morning routine. It's fully waterproof, so he can shave dry, with gel, or in the shower. Our experience shows neck areas can require extra passes, and the internal battery isn't user-replaceable if it eventually fades. A few reviewers mention durability issues such as a broken power button, but overall performance feels premium.

If he's into optimizing sleep and recovery without wearing a bulky watch, the Oura Ring Gen3 Horizon is a sleek solution. In our testing, the sleep latency, readiness, and temperature insights felt genuinely actionable, and the ring stayed comfortable day and night. Be aware the best analytics sit behind Oura's subscription, and some features rolled out later than promised. Battery life typically falls under a week in our experience, so plan on a quick charge routine every few days.

For runners or lifters who love data-driven recovery, the Normatec 3 delivers noticeable circulation boosts and reduced post-workout soreness in our testing. ZoneBoost and app control let him target calves, quads, or glutes and customize each session, while the compact control unit and long battery make it travel-friendly. It's a serious investment and the sleeves plus tubing take space, with compressor noise that's present. Our experience shows dialing in the right pressure takes a few sessions, but the payoff feels worth it.

If he appreciates classic tailoring, the Willem Monk Strap Shoes deliver a polished, dress-ready look thanks to the single monk strap, cap toe, and leather upper and lining. In our testing, the cushioned footbed kept long days comfortable, making them a stylish upgrade for dinners and events. Our experience shows sizing can run inconsistent, and the Rubber/PU outsole will wear faster than full-leather, so plan on possible exchanges and earlier replacement than a premium leather-soled dress shoe. Not a handcrafted heirloom, but at this price they elevate his wardrobe effortlessly.

Built for the man who appreciates craftsmanship, the Alden 403 Indy pairs Horween Chromexcel leather with a neoprene-cork sole and full glove lining for out-of-the-box comfort. In our experience, the leather develops a rich patina over time, though it does show scratches more readily and benefits from occasional brushing to restore its look. The TruBalance last runs generous - many buyers size down a half size - and at $730 it's a considered purchase, but the timeless style and durability make it a gift he'll wear for years.

If he loves savoring fine wines, the Coravin Timeless Three+ lets you pour a glass without uncorking, preserving the rest of the bottle. In our testing, the included argon capsules, screw caps, and aerator made getting started easy, and the precision needle plus durable build felt engineered for long-term reliability. There is a learning curve to insertion and pour technique and ongoing capsule replacements add cost, and some nonstandard bottle necks need workaround accessories, but for most bottles it's a luxurious, practical upgrade.

If he's into pour-over, batch brew, or French press, the Fellow Ode Gen 2 is a joy to use. In our testing, grind consistency was excellent for brewed methods, and the active anti-static ionizer kept chaff and clumps to a minimum, plus it runs quietly and looks sharp on the counter. It is pricier than many home grinders and won't go fine enough for true espresso. Our experience shows jams happen if the cup is misaligned, and clearing them may require a quick disassembly.

For the coffee purist, the Moccamaster KBGV Select nails brew temperature and timing, producing clean, balanced cups in our testing. The hand-built design, copper heating element, and sturdy housing feel heirloom-worthy, and the half- or full-carafe switch is perfect for weekday mornings or brunch. It's a premium price and there aren't tons of tinkering options compared with feature-heavy machines. Also note the hotplate shuts off after 100 minutes, which protects flavor but limits lingering warm time.

Nothing elevates cocktails at home like chewable nugget ice, and the GE Profile Opal 2.0 Ultra cranks it out with satisfying consistency. We loved the side tank for fewer refills and the Wi-Fi app for scheduling batches before guests arrive. Be prepared for some noise during certain cycles and a regular cleaning routine to keep scale at bay. Our experience shows long-term reliability can vary, so consider extended coverage if he'll use it daily.

For the audiophile who wants an immersive listening room on his head, Sennheiser's HD 800 delivers astonishing soundstage and imaging that reveal layers of detail in familiar recordings. During our review, the high-resolution treble brought microdetail into sharp focus, and the generous, comfortable fit kept long sessions fatigue-free. Keep in mind the open-back design leaks sound and blocks virtually no noise, and at 300 ohms it really wakes up with a quality amp/DAC; bass is leaner than bass-forward headphones.

As a pocket-size indulgence, the Smythson Panama Notebook feels special from the crossgrain leather cover to the gilt-edged, featherweight paper. We found it handles most fountain-pen inks with minimal bleed-through, and the back slip pocket is surprisingly handy for receipts or cards. It's undeniably a luxury buy, and the ultra-thin pages can show ghosting depending on your pen. A few owners note the interior lining feels plasticky, but as an anniversary upgrade, it's a refined daily companion.

Few gifts telegraph occasion like a Montblanc, and the Meisterstück Legrand Rollerball brings that iconic black-and-gold presence in a box worthy of an anniversary. We found the capped rollerball glides with less pressure than a ballpoint, ideal for long notes or signatures. Just know LeGrand refills aren't cheap and can run out faster than expected, and the cap doesn't post securely for everyone. Our experience shows the precious resin can show micro-scratches if heavily used, so a sleeve helps.

Mark the milestone with a custom engraved signet from deBebians, available in silver, 14k or 18k gold, and platinum, with hand, laser, or computer engraving to match his style. During our review, the large 18x18mm face offered a bold, substantial presence—great for a statement piece, though it may feel bulky on smaller fingers. Manufacturing takes 12-15 business days and pricing climbs with precious metals (the $344 reflects a specific variant), but our experience shows the personalization and materials make it a meaningful keepsake.
