Christian Anniversary Gift Ideas by Year

Every anniversary is a testimony of God's faithfulness. Another year of grace, growth, and staying together. Here are Christian anniversary gift ideas organized by the traditional anniversary themes, with a faith-filled twist.

1st anniversary: Paper

Write a letter recounting how you saw God work in your first year. Or start a prayer journal together and write your first entries side by side.

2nd anniversary: Cotton

Cotton means cozy apparel. Try matching Loving Her Is My Assignment couple pajamas or a Power Couple Powered by Him tee.

3rd anniversary: Leather

A wallet carries something you use every day. Browse our men's Christian wallets and women's wallets and purses. Tuck a handwritten verse inside.

4th anniversary: Fruit and flowers

Plant something together, like a tree or garden, as a picture of "the fruit of the Spirit" growing in your marriage (Galatians 5:22–23).

5th anniversary: Wood

A wooden sign with your wedding verse or a hand-carved box to hold your love letters and answered prayers.

10th anniversary: Tin or aluminum

Make a "time capsule" tin. Fill it with photos, prayers, and hopes for the next ten years.

25th anniversary: Silver

Consider renewing your vows. Invite those who prayed you through the hard years.

50th anniversary: Gold

Gather family to share stories of God's faithfulness. A legacy of love is the greatest gift you can give your children and grandchildren.

Any year

The real gift

Lamentations 3:22–23: "It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness."

An anniversary prayer

Lord, thank You for another year together. You have been faithful through every high and low. Grow our love deeper in the year ahead. Amen.
