Anniversary Gifts and Cards: The Full Range

Anniversary gifts and cards

Everything we make for an anniversary sits on this page: funny cards, warmer ones, cards for a son and daughter-in-law, milestone designs and prints for the wall. All of it is drawn in house, printed in the UK on quality card and posted with a kraft envelope.

Every card is blank inside, so the message is yours. If you don't know what to write yet, the guides further down cover wording by year, by recipient and for the anniversaries that are harder to write for.

How to choose the card

• Match the card to the couple, not the year. A rude card for the right couple beats a tasteful one every time.
• If several people are signing, pick a design with room inside - family cards get four or five messages in them.
• For a milestone year, choose something they'd be happy to leave on the mantelpiece for a fortnight.
• Buying for your own anniversary? Write the year somewhere inside. Reading last year's back is half the point.

Anniversary messages you can copy

• Still the best decision either of us ever made. Happy anniversary.
• Another year, and I'd still pick you. Mostly.
• Congratulations to you both - here's to the next one. Shop this card
• Happy anniversary to the two people who made this family what it is.
• One year down. Thanks for putting up with me through all of it.

Funny anniversary cards

For couples whose love language is taking the mickey out of each other. Blank inside so you can make it worse.

Milestone anniversary cards

Designs for the years the whole family turns out for, including the golden 50th and the platinum 70th.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly will an anniversary card arrive?

Orders placed on a working day are usually posted the same day. First Class is normally next working day; Second Class is meant to take two working days but can take up to five.

Are the cards blank inside?

Yes. Every card is blank inside so the message is yours, and each one comes with a kraft envelope.

Can you post the card straight to them?

Yes - enter their address at checkout and it goes direct, which is the easiest option if you're posting from a distance.

What is the traditional gift for each anniversary year?

Paper for the first, cotton for the second, leather for the third, wood for the fifth, tin for the tenth, crystal for the fifteenth, china for the twentieth, silver for the twenty-fifth, pearl for the thirtieth, ruby for the fortieth, gold for the fiftieth and diamond for the sixtieth. The full year-by-year list is on our anniversary lookup page.

What do you buy for a first anniversary?

The first year is paper, which makes a card or a framed print the correct present as well as the easy one. Our paper anniversary guide has the rest of the ideas.
