19th anniversary gifts and ideas for spouses  

What to give

Budget

  • Get playful and gift them a special bronze coin: One side has your initial on it, the other has theirs. Pull out the coin when it’s time to decide what’s for dinner or where to go for a weekend escape.
  • Find a favorite picture of the two of you and place it in this bronze-tipped frame.
  • Bronze cufflinks will be the finishing touch for your spouse’s formal attire.   

 

Splurge

  • Surprise your spouse with a pair of stylish “penny” loafers if they’re a sartorial star. 
  • Commission a custom-made bronze monogram sign with the year of your marriage to hang outside of your home.
