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

- Take a class together learning a new skill or hobby that you can continue doing together in the future.
