What to Look for in a 13th-Anniversary Gift

The traditional gift

Not sure where to begin? Start with what’s meaningful to your spouse or you as a couple. If you’re the traditional type, choosing a gift that’s made of lace is a classic, sentimental way to mark the occasion. We especially love the The Whirlwind Vintage Lace Initial Necklace and the Rya Collection Darling Sheer Lace Robe.

The modern gift

The modern 13th-anniversary gift is fur or textiles, symbolizing the warmth of a loving relationship. Finding a gift that’s made of these materials, but still has meaning for you as a couple, will make it that much more memorable. Gifts such as the West Elm Faux Fur Ombre Throws and the L.L. Bean Men's Wicked Good Slippers are no-fail options. Regardless of what route you choose, showing your partner how much they mean to you is what counts.
