Anniversary Getaway Gift Guide: Destinations Matched to Every Milestone Year

Paper, silver, gold โ€” we match traditional anniversary themes to perfect travel destinations. Plus a crowd-funded gift option for couples.

Traditional anniversary gifts follow a progression from humble to precious โ€” paper for the 1st, silver for the 25th, gold for the 50th. We've reimagined this tradition by matching each milestone to a travel destination that captures its spirit.

Early Years (1-5)

  • 1st (Paper): Japan โ€” origami workshops, washi paper villages, and a love letter written in calligraphy
  • 2nd (Cotton): Rajasthan โ€” Jaipur's textile heritage, block-printing workshops, and palace stays
  • 3rd (Leather): Morocco โ€” leather tanneries of Fez, desert camping, and artisan crafts
  • 5th (Wood): Costa Rica โ€” rainforest canopy walks, treehouse stays, and sustainability

Mid-Years (10-20)

  • 10th (Tin/Aluminum): Iceland โ€” metallic landscapes of silver glaciers, volcanic rock, and Northern Lights
  • 15th (Crystal): Vienna โ€” crystal chandeliers, opera houses, and Swarovski factory visit
  • 20th (China/Porcelain): China โ€” the Forbidden City, traditional tea ceremonies, and porcelain workshops in Jingdezhen

Milestone Years (25-50)

  • 25th (Silver): Santorini โ€” silver moonlight over whitewashed villages, private catamaran cruise
  • 30th (Pearl): Maldives โ€” pearl-white beaches, overwater villas, and pearl diving experience
  • 40th (Ruby): Myanmar โ€” ruby mines of Mogok, golden temples, and Inle Lake boat tours
  • 50th (Gold): Dubai โ€” gold souks, luxury stays, and a gold-themed celebration dinner
Our children surprised us with a Santorini trip for our 25th anniversary. Twenty-five years of marriage, and this trip reminded us why we fell in love. The pool gifting made it possible for everyone to contribute.
