Making it to your 15-year anniversary is a feat worth celebrating—and honoring with a gift, if that's your thing. The theme for 15th anniversaries is crystal, so we rounded up the best crystal gifts, plus some nonmaterial and other fun options as well. There's something for everyone here to celebrate 15 years of love with their special someone.
The 15-year anniversary theme.
As you may or may not know, each wedding anniversary has a specific theme, starting with paper for the first year of marriage. Each year, the material for the anniversary gift gets stronger and stronger. The second-anniversary theme is cotton, for example, while the 10th is tin or aluminum, and the 60th is diamonds—the hardest material of all the years.
The 15-year anniversary theme is crystal, symbolizing both the splendor of a happy marriage, as well as the fragility, encouraging couples to continue to be intentional and tender in their relationship.
Tips to keep in mind.
Everyone—and every couple—is different, so there are a few things to keep in mind if you're shopping for your partner and unsure where to start.
For one thing, certified therapist De-Andrea Blaylock-Solar, MSW, LCSW-S, CST, says it's a good idea to know your partner's love language. Some people just straight up like receiving gifts, which makes gifting a bit easier. Someone who likes physical touch, though, might specifically prefer a massage certificate, or someone who likes quality time might like a specially planned date night for the two of you.
"Identifying what way your partner receives love can be really helpful in deciding what type of gift to give," Blaylock-Solar tells mbg, adding, "And sometimes it's not an actual physical gift that you're giving."
And as licensed marriage and family therapist Holly Richmond, Ph.D., LMFT, CST, previously explained to mbg, you also want to go for something that's meaningful. "Gift-giving can be really special, even if it's not one of your love languages," she says. "The thing people care about is the meaning behind it."
