The 25 Best 8th Anniversary Gifts of 2020

It’s hard to believe that it’s been eight whole years since you said “I do"— the memories feel like yesterday. However, when you begin to think about everything you’ve experienced as a couple since you walked down the aisle—the good times, and the challenging—you'll feel overwhelmed with gratitude and pride that you have reached such an amazing milestone. It’s time to celebrate your love!

If you like to go the traditional route for your 8th anniversary, you’ll want to look for bronze and pottery pieces. Bronze is made from two combined metals (copper and tin) and represents strength and beauty. Pottery is symbolic of your marriage as well—clay is a natural substance that is hand-molded into a beautiful, functional art piece. The modern 8th-anniversary gifts are linen and lace, which represent durability and intricate craftsmanship—just as the two of you have been woven together in marriage.

Whether you think your spouse would prefer the traditional or modern gift ideas, we have you covered with the best gifts to celebrate your 8th anniversary.
