If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you and your partner have been together for 12 whole years (or you’re approaching that point). So first off, congratulations! Because that’s a very long time to tolerate another human. Next, there’s the task of finding the perfect gift to mark this momentous occasion—and that’s where I come in. Below, I’ve rounded up the 12 best 12th-anniversary gifts to give and get in 2023.

If you didn’t know, it’s custom to give silk and fine linen on the 12th anniversary. Silk symbolizes the luxury of having a long-term partner, while linen symbolizes the comfort of a reliable relationship. Some people also gift pearls, which are believed to represent love and wisdom. No matter what your partner’s style, hobbies, or interests are, you’ll find the perfect 12th-anniversary prezzie on the list below! Oh, and if sticking with tradition isn’t really your vibe, I also included several luxurious gifts that could work for any and every gift-giving celebration.
