Anniversary gift timeline
Traditional and modern gift themes for each year. Your next anniversary is highlighted.
How long have we been together?
Subtract your anniversary date from today in years, months and days. A couple married on June 18, 2016 has been married 10 years, 4 months and 16 days (3,790 days) on November 3, 2026, and their 11th anniversary is Friday, June 18, 2027. The traditional 11th-anniversary gift is steel, and the modern one is fashion jewelry. The calculator also tracks day milestones like 1,000 and 5,000 days together.
Wedding anniversary gifts by year
The traditional list dates back to etiquette guides of the early 20th century. The modern list was added later, mostly for the early years. After year 15, most lists jump in 5-year steps.
