25 Fantastic 14th Anniversary Gift Ideas for Your Spouse, Friends or Any Happy Couple

Fourteen years of marriage is a major accomplishment. You've stood by your partner's side for as long as it took Mount Rushmore to be sculpted, and that definitely calls for some celebrating! If you're on the hunt for anniversary gift ideas to mark this major marital milestone, we've got you covered. 

While the traditional gift of ivory is no longer a good option, there are plenty of other great 14th wedding anniversary gift ideas out there. So, whether you're looking for a way to say "I love you" to your spouse or want to congratulate a happy couple in your life, read on for some of our favorite present picks. 

What is a traditional 14-year anniversary gift? 

Historically, the traditional 14th-anniversary gift is real ivory, which is banned in the United States (and much of the world) due to the devastating effects ivory trade practices have on the elephant population. However, that doesn't mean you have to discount ivory gifts altogether, as it's still a beautiful color you can use when selecting a gift—you can also consider taking a twist on the ivory theme to incorporate gifts that honor elephants instead. 

Luckily, the modern 14th wedding anniversary gift theme—gold jewelry—offers options aplenty. Even more inspiration can be found in the anniversary's gorgeous gemstone, the lovely opal, or its flower, the fabulous orchid.  

The Best 14-Year Anniversary Gifts

While this anniversary presents a bit of a problem when it comes to traditional gifts, there are plenty of other great keepsakes worthy of celebrating 14 years of marriage. We've rounded up a wide variety of anniversary gift ideas that include a mix of modern and traditional presents, those that incorporate the year's flower and gemstone, and alternatives that make unique gifts for any couple, any time. 

1. Gorgeous gold jewelry

For a modern 14th anniversary gift, you can't go wrong with a class pair of gold hoops, like these gold twist huggie earrings from Aurate New York. The best part: they're sold as a pair or on their own, so you can mix and match (or pick up an extra in case your loved one tends to lose their jewelry often!).

For an ivory gift, we love this chunky knit throw. The off-white hue is perfect for practically any decor vibe, and it's the ideal size for a pair of lovebirds to cuddle up together underneath.

3. Gemstone wineglass 

In addition to being the official gemstone for the 14th year of marriage, opal also happens to be the birthstone for October. That means you can find lots of fun gifts that incorporate it, like these stunning handmade wine glasses. Snag four to create a set, or mix and match with other important months in your relationship history, like your engagement month or the month you first said "I love you."
