What to look for in a 23rd anniversary gift
The traditional and modern gift, silver plate
The 23rd-anniversary gift, both in the traditional and modern sense, is silver plate. That can be interpreted in a variety of ways to include silver dinnerware, barware, jewelry, and more. But it’s also ok—and even encouraged—to stray from the theme if it means gifting your spouse something that’s truly meaningful to them.
Psychotherapist and relationship expert Esther Perel recommends gifts that bring in new energy “I like generative gifts that bring in novelty but still rest on the stability of the past,” she says. “Make sure to also add in something fresh and new for the future.”
