Sentimental Value
After 30 years together, you and your partner have likely made many memories—some that stand out more than others. So tap into one of those moments when it comes to your gift; maybe it’s a map that points out all of the vacation spots you took together, or a day spent doing your favorite activity. You can also look for vintage items that evoke a time and place that is significant to you.
Creativity
After three decades of gift-giving, you may feel like your choices have become repetitive or boring. Use this milestone to think outside the jewelry box and wow your partner. “Couples looking to get creative for their 30th anniversary might consider giving an experience as a gift,” Johnson says. “This is a great way to give something unique and fun that also creates lasting memories.” Home decor is another creative route you can take. “Opt for home decor that incorporates one or both of traditional pearl or the modern diamond,” she says. “I love the idea of a pearl-adorned vase or diamond-shaped planter paired with a beautiful bouquet for two gifts in one.”
