29th anniversary gifts and ideas for spouses
What to give
Budget
- Buy a few low-cost “tools” that they can use for their favorite hobby or activity (and maybe offer to do that activity with them).
- Give the gift of time. Work together on a project they’ve been thinking about for a while and enjoy spending time together while being productive at the same time.
Splurge
- Buy them a tool they’ve been drooling over to help with their favorite pastime—whether it’s an actual tool for their toolbox or workshop, or something that will make baking, sewing, fishing or some other hobby more fun.
- Give them an empty toolbox with a gift card to their favorite hardware or home improvement store to fill it up.
What to write
What to write in a 29th anniversary card
- “Almost three decades together and you’re still my favorite person.”
- “Every time I think I couldn’t love you more, you go and prove me wrong.”
- “29 years in and I’m still discovering new things about you to love.”
What to write in a 29th anniversary love letter
- Share a favorite memory of your wedding day or your early days of dating.
- Reflect on how you’ve seen your relationship grow and evolve over the years.
- Express how grateful you are to have shared so many seasons of life together.
How to celebrate
- Spend some time dreaming about future home improvement projects you might want to tackle together to turn your space into your dream home.
- Take a class together learning a new skill or hobby that you can continue doing together in the future.
- Get out your kitchen tools and cook up a romantic meal together, then share it over candlelight.
29th anniversary gifts and ideas for friends and family
What to give
- What do they like to do? Do they enjoy cooking? Buy some fun new kitchen gadgets. DIY projects? Buy some helpful new tools. Whatever tool they might need, buy them some tools they might enjoy.
- Use your own talent (and the tools that go with it) to make them something unique and meaningful.
What to write in a 29th anniversary card
- “Happy 29th anniversary to two of our very favorite people.”
- “29 years in and still perfect for each other. Congrats, you two!”
- “Congratulations! Here’s to the next 29 years.”
