What to look for in a 24th-Anniversary Gift 

The traditional gift, Opal

“A 24th-anniversary is traditionally celebrated with opals, which are believed to inspire hope, love, and happiness,” says Etsy Trend Expert Dayna Isom Johnson. She adds,“While couples often turn to jewelry gifts for this anniversary, there are many other unique options available—like artwork that incorporates opals—for those looking for something more unexpected.”

The modern gift, musical instruments 

If you prefer a more modern take for a 24th-anniversary gift, musical instruments are the go-to. If the recipient is a musician, it might be easy to find a gift that fits the theme. If not, any music-inspired present will also do the trick. Think custom artwork featuring a song they love or tickets to see a favorite musician.
