The hardest part is figuring out how many charms you want to purchase for this custom bracelet!

A classic gift that you can add to every year as well until the bracelet is full.

Champagne Glasses

Cheers to the happy couple! These champagne glasses are so sophisticated and chic that you’ll want to find a reason to clink them a lot more often than just your anniversary.

Couples Massage Coupons

Couples Massage Coupons

Gift the couple a set of coupons for their local massage/spa business! They can redeem them when their schedule allows, and it is also a great way to give back to your local community. 

Talk about a win-win situation! Pair with a gift certificate to a restaurant for an extra one/two punch of fabulous gift-giving. 

These are the types of unique gifts you might not initially think of, but hey, that’s what we’re here for.

Coaster Set

We really dig these customized coaster sets! They have such a modern and unique design, but not in a “this will go out of fashion soon” way. 

They will fit in seamlessly with any different styles or decor, and they do a nifty job of keeping those water rings off the coffee table when guests drop by for a cocktail. 

Couple’s Retreat

If it’s a big number like ten, twenty, or more, then a couple’s retreat is in order! Giving an experience is always an ideal gift. 

It’s so much more thoughtful than something that comes in a gift bag, after all. And you’ll be giving them new memories! We can’t think of anything better than that.
