What Makes a Good Anniversary Gift?
A good anniversary gift shows you've thought about it, has value to the person, and is made with quality in mind. It doesn't have to be overly expensive, but it should still feel luxurious to the person you are buying it for.
The longer you’ve been with your partner, the easier it should be to buy them something special, but in reality it often becomes harder. Instead of thinking about what you can buy them, think about what you can get that you will both enjoy, together.
Consider your home and whether you can make those slow Sundays a bit cosier and more comfortable. Upgrade your bedroom with hotel-quality sheets, or turn your bathroom into a peaceful, spa-like environment with new premium cotton towels and robes.
If you still want to choose something just for them, pick something luxurious they will use everywhere, like an oversized cashmere wrap for her or a smart cashmere merino zip-jumper for him.
Anniversary Gifts For Her
Oversized Finest Cashmere Wrap
There are gifts that spend most of their lives carefully stored away. This shouldn’t be one of them. Our oversized wrap is knitted from 100% A-grade Mongolian cashmere and generously proportioned at 70 x 200cm, making it a scarf, shawl and exceptionally refined travel blanket in one.
Light enough for a cool summer evening and warm enough for winter, it’s made for all the small moments around the bigger ones — flights taken together, dinners outside that run late, Sunday walks and evenings on the sofa. The extensive colour palette runs from quiet neutrals to rich, expressive shades, so there’s plenty of scope to choose something distinctly hers. It also makes a suitably elevated interpretation of wool for a seventh anniversary.
£195
Women's Finest Cashmere Cardigan
Buying clothes for someone else can require a certain amount of confidence. This cardigan rewards knowing her well.
Knitted from 100% A-grade Mongolian cashmere, it has a slim but relaxed silhouette with saddle sleeves, a flattering V-neck and a tapered, hip-grazing hem. The result is soft without being shapeless: fine enough to layer beneath a coat and polished enough to wear on its own with trousers or a skirt.
Five colourways span understated neutrals, deep indigo and a brighter pop of colour. Choose the shade she instinctively wears most and you have the kind of anniversary present that becomes a wardrobe fixture rather than a once-a-year gesture.
£195
Women's Cashmere Merino Saddle Sleeve Crew Neck Jumper
A thoughtful gift doesn’t always need to surprise. Sometimes it’s about noticing what she relies on, then finding an especially good version of it.
This relaxed crew neck is knitted from our blend of 70% Merino wool and 30% cashmere, combining breathability and durability with the softness and warmth cashmere brings. Saddle sleeves create a clean, natural line across the shoulders while the deeper ribbed hem gives the easy silhouette just enough structure.
It works equally well with denim at the weekend or sharper trousers for work, making it a useful gift long after the anniversary itself. Choose from five considered colourways covering soft neutrals, deeper classics and subtle colour.
£175
Women's NAIA™ Liquid Satin Sleeveless Dress
An anniversary dress has a pleasing logic to it: the present can also provide a very good reason to go out for dinner.
This ankle-length slip dress is made from 100% NAIA™ acetate satin, derived from responsibly sourced wood pulp. The fabric has a cool, fluid handfeel and understated lustre, falling close to the body without clinging. There are no zips, buttons or unnecessary interruptions to the line; just a clean pull-on silhouette and a single side split that lets it move naturally as she does.
Currently offered in one rich chocolate colourway, it’s intentionally simple enough to make her own — with heels and jewellery for the anniversary dinner, then a knit, overshirt or jacket on less ceremonious evenings afterwards. A gift for the occasion, without being limited to it.
£185
Anniversary Gifts For Him
Men's Fine Merino Crew Neck Jumper
There’s something quietly thoughtful about giving him a better version of the jumper he already reaches for most. Knitted from 100% fine Merino wool, this crew neck is soft and lightweight but naturally warm and breathable, with a regular fit, easy raglan sleeves and subtle detailing at the neckline, cuffs and hem.
It’s the sort of anniversary gift that quickly becomes part of everyday life — over a T-shirt at the weekend, under a jacket for work and layered through the seasons. Choose from three versatile colourways, from deep indigo and graphite to a softer blue. A particularly fitting choice for a seventh anniversary, when wool is the traditional gift.
£115
Men's Finest Cashmere 1/4 Zip Jumper
For the man who appreciates good things but doesn’t make too much fuss about them, cashmere is a fairly safe anniversary bet. This ¼ zip is knitted from 100% A-grade Mongolian cashmere, using long, fine fibres for exceptional softness and lightweight warmth. The midweight knit has a lightly brushed finish with a relaxed fit and ribbed cuffs and hem giving it just enough structure.
It’s refined enough for dinner, relaxed enough for weekends and easy to layer through the colder months — the sort of gift that earns its place by being worn rather than saved. There’s a particularly generous choice of colours too so you can make the choice feel personal without straying too far from what he likes. Plus, with a product rating of 4.8/5 (from over 100 reviews) we know he wont be disappointed with this anniversary gift.
£190
Men's Heavy-Weight Cotton Overshirt
Knowing what someone actually wears is one of the advantages of being together for a while. If shirts feel too formal and jackets too much, an overshirt occupies that useful space in between.
Ours is cut in a relaxed shape from substantial 98% cotton with a touch of stretch, then garment-washed for softness. Flap pockets, side splits and natural nut buttons give the practical construction a more considered finish. Wear it over a T-shirt, fine knit or shirt depending on the season.
£120
Men's Shearling Collar Wool Bomber Jacket
Some anniversaries call for something a little more significant. Crafted from a double-faced blend of 95% wool and 5% cashmere, this bomber has the warmth and structure of a proper winter jacket with a softness that makes it unusually easy to wear. Raglan sleeves keep the slightly relaxed silhouette comfortable, while the detachable shearling collar gives you two quite different ways to wear it.
It’s an enduring gift rather than an occasion-only one: substantial enough to feel special when unwrapped, useful enough to be worn for city days, weekend walks and plenty of anniversaries afterwards.
£350
Gifts You Can Enjoy Together
Linen Picotting Tablecloth & Napkins
Some anniversary gifts are made for marking the day. Others become part of all the days that follow. Our Linen Picotting Tablecloth and matching Napkins are crafted from 100% European Flax linen, garment-washed for softness and finished with delicate picot edging and contrast stitching.
Designed to bring a relaxed rather than overly formal sense of luxury to the table, they’re just as suited to dinner for two as birthdays, Christmases and tables full of friends. A thoughtful anniversary gift that will return to the table for years to come — and, hopefully, plenty more anniversaries.
£50 - £150
Bath Robes & Towels
Turn an ordinary evening at home into a spa retreat. Our soft cotton bath robes make an easy anniversary gift for him or her, especially when paired with fresh towels, a candle or incense from our home fragrance collection.
Choose matching robes with his and hers, or build a larger bathroom set with plush Turkish cotton towels that will make everyday routines feel a little more luxurious.
£25 - £132
Polyphenol Rich Extra Virgin Olive Oil
For those who appreciate quality food and ingredients, a stand-out olive oil can make a fantastic gift as it makes all the difference to a dish.
Our Polyphenol-rich extra virgin olive oil, made with early-harvest olives from Andalucia and cold-pressed shortly after picking, is a materially better olive oil, from grove to bottle.
£25 for 500ml / £65 for 2L
Candles
Dinner reservations are lovely, but so are home-cooked meals. Our candles bring an immediate sense of occasion to an ordinary evening at home, with scents available in Ecru Denim, Lichen Cashmere and Navy Suede.
As an anniversary gift, they're understated and romantic without trying too hard, particularly when the recipient appreciates the quieter details that make a home feel good to be in.
Choose from a range of beautiful scents, each influenced by the materials we love and live in:
- Cashmere (earthy woods for a grounded vetiver)
- Denim (soft florals & clean musk)
- Suede (spiced woods for depth and warmth)
For a complete gift, why not pair with our Candle Snuffer.
£40
Soft & Smooth Cotton Bedding
Perhaps no gift is more appropriate for a couple than making the place they spend roughly a third of their lives considerably better.
Our Soft & Smooth Cotton Duvet Set is woven from extra-long staple cotton in a 500-thread-count sateen weave, giving it a refined, silky-smooth handfeel.
£135 (Bundle Saving)
Or, why not build your own bed linen set?
Incense Gift Set
Sometimes it's something small that creates a new sense of peace: lighting incense at the end of the evening, when dinner is finished, and there's nowhere else either of you need to be.
Our new Incense Gift Set forms part of the new home fragrance collection, where the familiar materials of cashmere, denim and suede are turned into scent and atmosphere.
This gift set includes a 100% stainless steel incense holder that's rust-resistant and durable, so it’ll last for years. The scents are shaped by the materials we live in. Cashmere, denim and suede reimagined as atmosphere rather than traditional fragrance.
£30
Alpaca Throws
There is romance in comfort. Our Alpaca Throws, woven in Peru, come in both double-faced and brushed finishes, bringing exceptional softness and warmth to beds, sofas, and slow evenings at home.
It is as soft as cashmere and up to x5 warmer than cashmere and sheep's wool. Plus, it has a lower environmental impact than other animal fibres. It truly is a practical and thoughtful gift.
£295 - £350
Anniversary Gifts Made to Last
At Rise & Fall, we believe the best anniversary gifts aren't simply more things to own, but better versions of the things you already live with.
Our products are designed to become part of everyday life: linen that softens with use, throws that settle into the sofa, bedding you look forward to climbing into, and candles, incense and olive oil that turn ordinary evenings into something more considered.
Made from exceptional materials and chosen for how they feel, perform and last, they're gifts for sharing now and for many anniversaries still to come.
