You might be looking forward to a big bash for your 10-year wedding anniversary, but if you happen to be at the eight-year mark, know that it's just as worthy of a celebration. Recognize this significant milestone — and all the ups and downs you've been through together — with a pick from this roundup of the best 8-year anniversary gifts.

Keep in mind that the eighth-anniversary symbol is bronze, which is the melding of copper and tin. Just like your marriage, it's the meeting of two different metals (or minds!) that only become stronger, together. Luckily, we've done a lot of research and internet sleuthing to find the best anniversary gifts by year, and we're confident this assortment of 8-year anniversary gifts is sure to impress your partner.

8th Anniversary Gift Symbols

  • Traditional: Bronze
  • Modern: Lace or linen
  • Gem: Tourmaline
  • Flower: Clematis

This list includes a thoughtful mix of traditional gifts made of bronze and more modern choices like linen or lace. We've found presents that are practical and some that will likely bring them to tears. We've even thrown in some beautiful tourmaline jewelry for her that won't break the bank along with useful gifts he's guaranteed to love.

And if you're still stumped, we have guides for wives and gift ideas for husbands that might just be the perfect fit.
