    You can shop for modern anniversary gifts on Etsy, or lean on the incredible creativity of Etsy sellers to put their own unique spin on these gift ideas.  Celebrating three years together? Opt for a third-anniversary gift like a dainty crystal vase to hold your partner’s favourite bouquet of flowers. Small shops on Etsy can add a personalised touch by engraving your anniversary date or a special quote for a stunning keepsake that you can both treasure. 

    For a modern six-year wood anniversary gift, consider a personalised sign or a modern wood watch band. 

    In honor of a milestone platinum 20-year anniversary, consider platinum jewellery or personalised platinum wall art.

    Whether you’re looking for creative anniversary gifts for a spouse or thoughtful dating anniversary gift ideas for a boyfriend or girlfriend, adding personalisation instantly makes it even more special.  Etsy shops put a creative spin on traditional anniversary gifts, like 10-year anniversary gifts that incorporate tin and aluminium. 

    From monogrammed leather bags to personalised artwork, you can find a wide range of creative anniversary gifts for men on Etsy. For a creative one-year anniversary gift for a boyfriend, consider a playful present like a pair of boxers personalised with your face or a practical gift like a custom keychain etched with a love note. 

    You can also find all sorts of creative anniversary gift ideas for women on Etsy, from custom jewellery to personalised home decor. For a heartfelt one-year anniversary gift for a girlfriend, commission a photo collage of your memorable moments together. Or work with a small shop on Etsy to design a one-of-a-kind custom piece of jewellery such as a locket engraved with a special message.

    You can give a couple an anniversary gift to recognise their special day. Whether your favourite couple is celebrating their first year together or 50 years of wedded bliss, give them a heartfelt gift to express your admiration. 

    Consider gifts for couples that align with their shared hobbies and interests. If they’ve been bitten by the travel bug, a vintage world map will help them keep track of their globetrotting adventures. Or give them something symbolic like a set of hand-carved wooden compasses bearing a meaningful message. For outdoorsy couples who love to hike and camp, a gift of matching hoodies or personalised travel mugs will help keep them warm in the great outdoors. 

    Looking for a unique anniversary gift made just for them? Work with a talented artist on Etsy to create a beautiful custom portrait of them together.
