18 Years of marriage is a milestone, just like 18 years of life. Just because it does not end in 0 or 5 doesn’t mean it is not worth celebrating. The modern and traditional 18th wedding anniversary gift is porcelain.

The Sonage Skincare Subscription Box will ship one full-sized item every month. Sometimes, a sample of another will also be included. The item is always worth more than the subscription cost; usually, it is worth 2 – 5x the subscription cost. So this is a way for your wife to try out some more expensive skincare products to see what she likes or may want to use in the future.
Of course, you are not locked into an extended subscription plan, but they will ship one box a month unless you decide to cancel – which you can do anytime.

18 Year Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas Buying Criteria
Shopping For The Traditional Theme
When you begin to shop for presents for the 18th wedding anniversary, the first thing you should do is think about the specific theme and see if you want to use it or not. The only theme for this anniversary Is porcelain. Are there any porcelain ideas that come to mind that would be perfect? If you are unsure, we did feature a few in this gift guide as well.
Wedding anniversary themes are only a guide. Although it is nice to theme your present around a specific anniversary, it is unnecessary to do so.
Thinking About How To Make Your Gift Truly Special
Another idea on how to get a fabulous present is to really think about who you are buying for and what you could get them to make it special or unique. This would include using their likes, hobbies, or activities. Of course, you can always use what you know about their personality and get a really lovely present or even a funny gift that they will get a kick out of.
FAQs About 18 Year Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas
What is the 18th Wedding Anniversary Symbol?
The 18th wedding anniversary theme is porcelain. Some items you can buy made of porcelain include beauty products, housewares, and trinkets.
What Are Some Great Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas For Him?
When you are shopping for your husband, you can use the theme, what you know about him, or what he needs. Some typical presents for men include cologne, electric razors, bbq centric gifts, outdoor hobbies and activities (hiking, fishing, hunting, or camping), and electronics.
Really think about something he needs, wants but will not buy for himself or does not know that he needs – yet. Like if your husband is a home chef, he may not want to spend the money on good cookware or may not realize how he needs some specialized spices – but you know he would enjoy both as personalized presents.
What Are Some Great Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas For Her?
There are many things that your wife would enjoy from you. I suggest you start by looking for something sentimental. For instance, you can get matching coffee cups, aprons, or robes. Or you can get her an 18th wedding anniversary sign, trinket, or ornament.
Sometimes our partner wants things but never spends the money on themselves. Think about your wife and shop for a present like that. It could be utterly feminine like clothing, jewelry, or a spa basket, or it could be universal. Maybe your wife really does want a big screen tv, a PS5, or a new laptop. It does not matter if the gift screams “anniversary” as long as it is all about her and what she will truly enjoy and appreciate.
