22nd anniversary gifts and ideas for spouses
What to give
Budget
- DIY brunch! Surprise your partner with a full spread: eggs, bacon, toast (with good bread), mimosas, the works!
- Get out of your comfort zone and try a dance class. If you can’t find one IRL, take a class online from the comfort of your own home.
- Make beaded matching bracelets for the two of you, and incorporate a short phrase that is meaningful to you both.
Splurge
- Hire a chef to cook a meal at your home, using ingredients that are unique to where you live. Or, have them introduce you to a new cuisine you haven’t tried.
- Take a scenic road trip through the Rocky Mountains, from Miami to Key West, on the Pacific Coast Highway—anywhere where there’s a nice long expanse of scenery.
- Indulge in a week-long yoga or meditation retreat and take care of your bodies and spirits.
What to write
What to write in a 22nd anniversary card
- “All the best and brightest moments of my life have you at the center of them.”
- “We learn more and more about each other with each passing year. And everything I learn about you just makes me love you more.”
- “We’ve been through a lot over the years, and through it all, you’ve always been a source of strength for me.”
What to write about in a 22nd anniversary love letter
- Give a recap of the Top 22 moments from the past year
- Wax poetic about your partner’s best features.
- Recall an inside joke that only the two of you know about.
How to celebrate
- Hit a thrift store and find all the clothes and accessories you need for a retro photoshoot. Then find a fun location (a roller rink, maybe?) and snap away!
- Have a dinner party with other long-term couples. Take turns writing down your best piece of marital advice, then share. (And file them away to pass along to any newlyweds you know!)
- Rent a cabin in a scenic area and spend the day hiking and communing with nature.
22nd anniversary gifts and ideas for friends and family
What to give
- Raise a glass with them at a local bar or brewery.
- Gift them a cooking class.
- Have a dozen fancy donuts delivered to their house.
What to write
- “There are some couples that just have that spark—and you’re one of them.”
- “We’ve loved getting to know you over the years and getting to be a part of your story.”
- “My favorite memory of you as a couple is (INSERT FAVORITE MEMORY HERE).”
