Bronze may be considered third place, but it makes for some top-notch anniversary gifts in our book. A durable metal, bronze has come to symbolize a long-lasting, resilient marriage. It’s both the traditional and modern theme for the 19th wedding anniversary.

Bronze jewelry or bronze kitchenware make for thoughtful (and useful!) anniversary gifts. From cufflinks to whimsical handmade spoons, there’s something for everyone. But don’t be afraid to diverge from the theme—we’ve got you covered there too, with the personalized and the practical, whether it’s a red wine aerator or a custom golf cover.

What to look for in a 19th anniversary gift

The traditional and modern gift, bronze

If you’re looking for a gift that’s specifically made for this anniversary, you can’t go wrong with something made of bronze (or something with a bronze-like patina or color). That being said, personalization is key when it comes to a good anniversary gift, so don’t worry if your gift doesn’t fit the theme but feels perfect for the recipient.

Think about the things your partner loves best and gift them something that they’ll appreciate for years to come. And don’t forget that a heartfelt card or letter goes a long way, so make sure to include one in your gift exchange.

FAQ

“Experiential gifts are personal and thoughtful and give couples a chance to create lasting memories together,” says Emily Forrest, Director of Communications at Zola. She adds that active adventures like bioluminescent kayak adventures and whitewater rafting, and location-specific experiences, like pizza tours in New York City or wine tours in Napa Valley, are always a hit.

Forrest advises that couples should do what feels most special and meaningful for them and that there’s no need to stick to traditional anniversary themes. “But, for couples who are not sure what to get or if one partner is very hard to select a gift for, these guidelines can take off some of the pressure,” she says. “It also offers a chance to get creative within the theme.”
