19th Wedding Anniversary Gifts: 29 Thoughtful Ideas for Every Type of Couple
Your 19th wedding anniversary is an amazing milestone that deserves an equally amazing gift. Here are 29 of our favourite ideas!
Finding the perfect 19th wedding anniversary gift is a tall order for a number of reasons but not impossible. Firstly, because you’re celebrating a moment that represents almost two decades together so you really need to nail it. But also because, as you may have already discovered on your search, the traditional gift for the 19th wedding anniversary doesn’t seem to exist – at least not in the UK.
In the US the convention for a modern gift is bronze, and if you want to head down that avenue, we’d recommend checking out our 8th wedding anniversary gift guide, where you’ll find plenty of gorgeous precious metal-based inspiration. But if that’s not your thing, you can also look to the 19th anniversary gemstone (aquamarine) or 19-year flower (chrysanthemum), or one of our other equally thoughtful suggestions below.
However you’re celebrating your 19th wedding anniversary, a meaningful gift will make the perfect finishing touch, and we hope we’ve found something your other half will love in the collection below. Congratulations on making it this far – and here’s to the next 19!

2. Eternity Ring in Aquamarine – £495, Fenton & Co
Eternity rings make beautifully symbolic anniversary gifts, and we haven’t found a lovelier aquamarine version than Fenton & Co’s 18k yellow gold band. It can be worn stacked with an existing engagement or wedding ring or shown off solo on a finger of its own.
3. Paloma Petal Stud Earrings – £75, Astley Clarke
If their everyday look is fairly minimalist, these subtle but still stunning petal-shaped studs from Astley Clarke could be just the ticket. They look especially great in the second or third hole in a lobe as a colourful accent piece.

8. Iguazu Silk Scarf Aquamarine – £85, Texas And The Artichoke

Especially good if you’re gifting from afar, M&S’s cheery bouquet features a romantic lilac chrysanthemum mixed with an assortment of rose, clematis, and eucalyptus. For just £3 more, you can also add a bag of Percy Pigs to your delivery, which in our books is a gesture that’s worth every penny.
12. Chrysanthemum Art Print – from £20, I Am Fy
A great piece of art never goes out of style – like this print of iconic imagery from Japanese artist Hokusai proves. If you don’t want to pick up a straightforward bunch of blooms, this is a thoughtful way of using the designated flower in a way that’ll last much longer.
