8th Wedding Anniversary Gifts For Her
1 3/4 Inch Wide Bronze Cuff Bracelet
One of the first items we will look at is a pretty piece of jewelry made of bronze. This wide bronze cuff would be the perfect statement piece to complete any outfit. It has the added bonus of being bronze, allowing you to give her a themed wedding anniversary present. Unless she specifically told you that this is the bronze wedding anniversary, she will be impressed that you made sure to buy something to match the traditional theme.
If you plan to give her this1 3/4 Inch Wide Bronze Cuff Bracelet, you will need to make sure you know her wrist size, as you will need to choose between 6 1/2 inches to 8 1/2 inches. If you get her a cuff too big, it will move and become uncomfortable, possibly chafing her skin. Onthe other hand, if it is too small, she should not wear it as it will be painful to do so.
Strawberry House Jewelry Holder
Another item done in bronze that she might like is this Strawberry House Jewelry Holder. It is an exciting piece that shows exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. It is hand-painted in a bronze finish. This gives this jewelry holder a vintage look and feel.

She can use this to put any anniversary gifts she has received over the years. Perhaps you can put a new piece or two of jewelry inside the bronze strawberry holder before wrapping the present!
KINGSBULL HOME Ceramic Lasagna Baking Dish Set
Another traditional 8th wedding anniversary present is ceramic. I understand that for some women, cookware and bakeware are not considered a romantic gift. If your wife does not cook or bake, this will not work for you, but if you want to get a small present that is made of ceramic, this gift works well for that. Also, these dishes are stunning! This KINGSBULL HOME Ceramic Lasagna Baking Dish Set is really multiple-use baking dishes that you can use for any purpose.
The large one is 12.8 x 9.0 x 2.6 inches, and the smaller one is 9 x 5.0 x 2.1. So basically, the large one can also be used to make any type of baked goods like cakes, brownies, or bars which you use a 13 x 9 pan for. The smaller pan can be used for any loaves – sweet or savory, which you typically cook in a 9 x 5 loaf pan.

The aroma is vanilla, jasmine, rose, bergamot, lavender, lemon, fig, spring, rosemary, and strawberry; these are hand-poured soy candles. Each candle is 2 ounces each.

These candles will help your wife relax and wind down from a hard day. Perfect for use at night while relaxing, reading a book, or enjoying a bubble bath.
DKNY Everyday Crossbody Handbag
Giving your wife a new purse or handbag is usually a good idea. You have lived with this woman for 8 years, so you should know what type of purse or bag she prefers. If you are getting her the DKNY Everyday Crossbody Handbag, make sure you are sure this is a style she would like.
We have displayed the bolder design of the White Iconic Graffiti / Gold Elissa Large Bag. This is undoubtedly a fun and stylish choice, so make sure this goes with the rest of her typical style or that you believe she would like to get a little different bag.

8 Year Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas Buying Criteria
Using the Anniversary Gifts By Year as Shopping Criteria
Suppose you decide to shop for wedding anniversary gifts by year and their most popular themes. In that case, you may want to look for a bronze anniversary gift for him or a bronze anniversary gift for her as bronze is the traditional gift and the most popular theme. There are many different items made of bronze, including jewelry, knick-knacks, and housewares.
Shopping For Fun or Personal Gifts
One of the best ways to shop for anniversary gifts, or any gift for that matter, is to shop based upon what you know about the person. Use their personality, hobbies, fandoms, activities, wants, or needs to pick something out. Loved ones will always appreciate a gift that shows that you really thought about something they want or bought them something they need. Still, they either can not afford it or just have not gotten around to buying it yet.
FAQs About 8 Year Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas
8th Wedding Anniversary Symbol
Wedding anniversaries have a traditional wedding symbol and sometimes a modern one as well. The 8th wedding anniversary has two of each. The traditional wedding gifts for the 8th wedding anniversary are bronze and ceramic. The modern gifts for this wedding benchmark are linen and lace.
How Much To Spend?
How much to spend on wedding anniversary gifts is something a lot of people wonder about. If it is gift buying for the couple, you should consider how they feel about receiving gifts overall. When you know that they do not like extravagant gestures, respect that. If this is not an issue, just buy what you want. You can give a nice gift for a few dollars, or you can spend much more than that if you see something you feel like they really need or must-have.
When you are part of the couple, you might want to have some sort of conversation about a budget or a range to buy your presents within. If you do not have this conversation, it is up to you. However, you should still consider how your partner would feel about the dollar amount you are spending, especially if it is high.
How Many Presents Should I Buy?
One present is enough, but many people like to buy one feature present and then get a few smaller gifts to go with it. This will allow you to ensure the recipient will like at least one thing. Also, you can get a smaller themed present. Hence, you follow the typical yearly anniversary guide and then choose one or two (or more depending on how you like to shop for gifts), which are all about them, their unique personality, and what they want or need right now.
