23rd anniversary gifts and ideas for spouses
What to give
Budget
- Make a very fancy, very ambitious dessert that you wouldn’t normally make.
- Give each other an at-home spa day. Massages, pedicures, and mimosas…and big fluffy robes, of course.
- Channel your inner poet and write a poem for your beloved. Whether it turns out super professional or maybe not so much, the effort you put in will definitely be appreciated.
Splurge
- Take a long train trip and book the fancy sleeper car! Bring along travel journals and books for a truly relaxing getaway.
- Have a wedding party reunion! Gather all the members of the original wedding party and stay at a resort or vacation rental for the weekend.
- Get matching silver jewelry—rings, bracelets—with both of your initials on them.
What to write
What to write in a 23rd anniversary card
