Like your time-tested marriage, crystal is bright, clear, and long-lasting. It also happens to be the traditional gift to celebrate your 15th anniversary. If you decide to go with this theme, Champagne and co*cktail glassware, crystal-accented jewelry, and sparkly clutches are all excellent options.

What to Look For in a Crystal Anniversary Gift

  • Purpose: Post says that one of the most important factors when shopping for a crystal anniversary gift is to consider whether the recipient will use and enjoy the crystal anniversary gift. Sure, a set of fancy crystal wine glasses looks nice, but the gift has no purpose if your partner isn’t a wine drinker. “Whenever you buy for someone else, you want to keep them in mind. Beautiful stationery for someone that will never use it doesn’t make sense,” says Post. “Look for things that they will appreciate.”
  • Your Partner's Wish List: While surprising someone with an unexpected crystal anniversary gift can be fun, there’s no shame in asking your partner if there’s anything they’ve been eyeing (even if it's not a traditional crystal anniversary gift!). They'll appreciate your intention and attention to detail.
  • Symbolism: Besides considering purpose, Post recommends purchasing symbolic and commemorative items when shopping for a crystal anniversary gift. Not all crystal anniversary gifts need to be practical; instead, you can look for something highlighting a significant memory. Framing an important picture, you already have printed in a crystal frame can bring just as many smiles as a new piece of jewelry or accessory.

FAQ

  • What is the traditional 15th-anniversary gift?

    Crystal anniversary gifts are traditional for a 15th wedding anniversary. This sparkling theme leaves plenty of room for creativity, from sparkling glassware to weighted blankets. If you'd like to go in a different direction (or combine with the crystal tradition), watches are the modern gift theme for the 15th anniversary.

  • How much money should I spend on a crystal anniversary gift?

    Shopping for a crystal anniversary gift can be stressful. Not only are you trying to find the perfect gift for your loved one, but you also have to consider the cost. Rather than worry and feel pressured to spend a certain amount, Post says you can find a meaningful gift at any price point.

    Post says something as small as a key chain can feel special if it has unique sentimental value for you and your partner. Think about shared moments and ways you can capture those memories.
