Travel Anniversary Gift Ideas

What wedding anniversary gift will you choose to mark another year of marriage?

Entering a new year—whether it's your first, 75th, or anywhere in between—is an occasion worth celebrating with a memorable gift. So why not give the gift of an anniversary trip?

If you can afford to travel on their wedding anniversary, you can have opportunities to once again frolic like kids, relax in an idyllic setting, see and experience new places, and savor time alone together—something you may not have enjoyed since your honeymoon. And that's a gift you owe to one another.

Did you know that there are specific gifts designated for each numerical anniversary? It's fun to choose a destination that symbolizes your anniversary year. Directly below you'll find traditional anniversary gifts, modern anniversary gifts, and ideas for travel anniversary trips.
