The Best 19th Anniversary Gift Ideas for Your Spouse or the Happy Couple

Celebrating a 19th wedding anniversary is a major marital milestone. You've done nearly two decades together, and it's certainly worth paying homage to all those years of marriage with a great gift. Whether you want to surprise your sweetie with something sentimental or congratulate a special couple in your life, there are anniversary gift ideas galore worthy of celebrating 19 years of wedded bliss. Okay, it's probably been more like 19 years of highs, lows, and everything in between, but whatever the case, gifts are most certainly in order. To help you narrow down your options, we've scoured the internet for a host of awesome ideas, from sweet and sentimental traditional gifts like jewelry to more modern and quirky picks.

What is the traditional 19-year anniversary? 

The 19th wedding anniversary gift themes are all about bronze. Known for its durability, bronze is a great representation of a marriage that has endured for 19 years. Not only are both the traditional and modern themes bronze, but it's the anniversary's official color too. As for the 19th anniversary flower, well, there actually isn't any official one—however, many people tend to go with bronze-colored flowers like the bronze chrysanthemum. And while bronze may be used for third-place medals, there are plenty of great bronze anniversary gifts that will take first place in their hearts. 

Want to go beyond the milestone's traditional material? No problem. The 19th wedding anniversary gemstone is the vibrant aquamarine. That being said, there's no rule that says you have to stick with the themes at all. When you've been married for 19 years, almost anything goes, so we've rounded up some great alternative gifts as well.
