First Anniversary -- Paper

• The first anniversary is associated with paper, making it the perfect time to present a book. To make your book more meaningful, select one by his favorite author and, if possible, have it autographed before giving it to him. For a less common option that is still safely within the paper category, buy him tickets to a sporting event or show that you feel he will enjoy.
  
  

Second Anniversary -- Cotton

• To mark the second year of wedded bliss with your man, buy him a cotton object. Select a new Egyptian cotton sheet set, making your marital bed even more cozy. If he is a sports fan, buy him a collection of cotton clothes featuring his favorite team's logo.
  
  

Third Anniversary -- Leather

• Celebrate your third anniversary with a leather present. Buy your guy a wallet to replace the tired one he has had since before you knew him. If looking to invest a bit more money in the present, buy him a leather recliner where he can relax after a hard day's work.
  
  

Fourth Anniversary -- Fruit and Flowers

• While the fruit and flower theme associated with the fourth anniversary may seem like a hard one to mesh with your man, there are many things that you can select that fall into these categories. If your guy has a sweet tooth, buy some chocolate-covered fruits to feed him as a decedent treat. If he enjoys an evening cocktail, buy him some fruit-flavored alcohol, such as pear vodka. For a floral option, select something that is floral without being frilly, like the uncommonly exotic bird-of-paradise, which features stunning architectural blooms.
  
  

Fifth Anniversary - Wood

• Commemorate five years with your guy by getting him something wooden. If he is the work-from-home type, make this wooden gift a new, fancy desk where he can do his business. If he prefers leisure to work, buy him a new set of golf clubs, taking some license with the wood theme by using the "woods" that make up his golf club set.
  
  

10th Anniversary -- Tin

• Finding a tin gift as a traditional 10th anniversary present presents a challenge to many. Consider helping your guy recapture his youth by buying him a tin that holds some vintage baseball cards. If your man is a fan of entertaining, get him a customized tin ice bucket featuring his name or another engraved message. He can use it when hosting his next shindig.
  
  

25th Anniversary -- Silver

• Celebrate your 25th anniversary with a silver present for your man. Buy him a piece of masculine silver jewelry as a wearable token of your love. If you seek a gift that is representative of your time together, buy him a silver-plated desk frame featuring a family photo or an image from your wedding day 25 years prior.
  
  

50th Anniversary -- Gold

• When you reach your golden anniversary, you will likely be eager to get a gift that is better than the rest. If your guy is a fan of all things classically elegant, buy him a gold watch, or a gold flask to store his favorite potent potable. For a more playful interpretation of this theme, arrange a trip to California, the state populated largely due to a gold rush, and enjoy some fun in the sun.
