Anniversary Gifts
Anniversary gifts, by year and by person
An anniversary gift should say something only the two of you would understand: the bar where you met, the sky on the night you said yes, the year count that surprised you both. Every piece here is personalized with your date, your place or your names, then made to order by our print partners in the US. Browse by the year you're celebrating (paper for the 1st, wood for the 5th, silver for the 25th) or by who it's for. You'll get a proof before anything is printed, and if a delivery date can't be met we'll tell you before you pay.

Anniversary Gifts: questions
What are the traditional anniversary gifts by year?
1st paper, 2nd cotton, 3rd leather, 4th fruit or flowers, 5th wood, 10th tin or aluminum, 15th crystal, 20th china, 25th silver, 30th pearl, 40th ruby, 50th gold. Most of our prints and keepsakes are available in a material that matches the year, and each year has its own collection above.
How long does a personalized anniversary gift take to arrive?
Everything is made to order. Production takes 2–5 business days after you approve the proof, then US shipping is typically 2–5 business days. Order at least two weeks ahead of the date to be safe.
Do I see a proof before it's printed?
Yes. For every personalized design we email a proof; nothing goes to print until you approve it or 24 hours pass without changes.
Can I order an anniversary gift for my parents or another couple?
Yes. Add their names and date at checkout and ship it to their address. Star maps and venue maps are the most common gifts for parents' 25th, 40th and 50th anniversaries.
What if the gift arrives damaged?
Email a photo to hello@yearsofus.com within 14 days and we reprint it at no cost.
How to choose an anniversary gift that actually lands
The gifts couples keep are specific. A generic "Happy Anniversary" plaque goes in a drawer; a map of the street corner where you first kissed goes on the wall. Start with one true detail — the date, the place, the song, the year count — and let the gift be about that.
Match the year if it helps, don't force it. The traditional list (paper, cotton, leather, wood, tin, silver, gold) is a useful prompt, not a rule. A first anniversary is easy: paper means prints, and a star map of your wedding night is the most-ordered first-anniversary gift here. Fifth is wood, so an engraved plaque or wooden frame fits. For 25th and 50th, the material matters more to the couple's parents' generation, and a silver- or gold-framed print reads as intentional.
Think about where it will live. Prints need a wall; if you're not sure they'd hang it, a mug, a blanket or a small plaque for a shelf is safer. For gifts shipped to another couple (parents, friends), a framed print arrives ready to hang and needs no assembly.
Order early. Personalized pieces are produced after you approve a proof, so leave two weeks before the date. If you're inside that window, tell us the date in the order notes and we'll say honestly whether it can be made in time.
What to write. Names and the date are the default. Better: the place name, the coordinates, a short line from your vows, or "Where it began". Keep it under ten words so the design stays clean.
