"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Your man, whether he's your man of five years or 50 years, can be tough to buy for. It's near impossible to know what's going on inside that head of his. But, there's a lot of tradition around the counting and celebrating of the years after your wedding. (Even if you're not married or engaged but know you're deeply committed to each other, that definitely counts, too). So, these gifts are a big deal.

To help you through it, we've outlined some great conventional gift ideas for him that fit the grand celebratory air. However, bucking tradition in favor of actually useful gifts might be more your vibe, so we've also gathered some flat-out cool gifts for husbands, boyfriends, or partners that need no further explanation and can be gifted on your third anniversary or your thirty-third. Whether you opt for a luxury espresso maker or something personalized to the two of you, we've found the 38 best anniversary gift ideas for your husband. Take a look here.

Adventure Couples Custom Print

A personalized print (on paper, you see) that nods to all the camping, the cross-country road-tripping, and the holiday getaway-ing you two will be planning long after your first year together.

Bluetooth Smart Pen & Notebook Set

Want a more modern interpretation on paper? Try Moleskine's writing set, which transfers handwriting into digital files.

Acton III

A cool retro-looking bluetooth speaker so he doesn't have to wear his AirPods while doing the dishes.

Snow Foam Pillow

The gift of a good night's sleep, nothing beats it.

La Specialista Arte

A cool new coffee machine is a safe bet.

Flannel-lined Waxed Trucker Jacket

Another sick jacket. Like I said, this is all men want.

Bound Bracelet

There's a shit ton of jewelry being pushed on men at them moment. Get him something simple, not too feminine, not too masculine. Oh, and it's made from recycled metal. Buy with a clear conscience.

TheraFace Mask

Pro tip: you buy him Therabody's new LED skincare mask—which won a (very coveted) Esquire Gadget Award—because he'll love it, but you'll also get to use it.

Rambler Beverage Bucket

We love this new ice bucket from YETI, and he's going to love it too.

Velvet Slipper

A velvet house slipper that's handmade in Italy, reasonably priced, and comes in a couple of standout colors, we cannot speak highly enough about these.

Bleu De Chanel

Fragrances don't get much more classic than this. He can wear it just about anywhere.

Valetta Mug, Set of Four

These will have a longer lifespan than a "Best Boyfriend Ever" mug.

Livorno Rocks Glasses, Set of Four

If you think he'd prefer rocks glasses to coffee mugs (no judgement), these are a funky swerve he'll enjoy.

AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)

Just the best wireless earbuds ever made. He'll absolutely love these.

Flat Card Holder in Mara

A big boss card holder to replace that ratty old bifold wallet he has.

Bamboo Pajama Pant

The comfiest pajama bottoms out there. Get him a matching shirt, and he might never wear anything else around the house.

Alarm Clock

And why not pair it with the alarm clock that will give him the best sleep of his life?

Classic Mattress

AND! Why not pair it all with one of the best mattresses money can buy?

Overnight Duffel

A weekender is a great gift. But, a high-quality pebble leather weekender with hardware that'll last forever? That's an incredible gift.

Hypervolt Go 2

Or, how about a massage gun to blast away whatever muscle pains he's developed as he ages?

La Specialista Espresso Machine

Is he serious about his beans? Get him a proper espresso machine.

Leather Key Holder with Photo

You've given him the key to your apartment, or finally moved in together and started using the same key. Give him a very bespoke holder to commemorate this special event.

Smart Moon Lamp

No matter how much you love him, you technically can't give him the moon. A 3D-printed one that magnetically floats and spins over his office desk or nightstand, however, will suffice.

Custom Anniversary Book

Perfect for those together for a few decades now, this book chronicles every major historical event that's happened since the day you two exchanged "I do."

Lovebox Spinning Heart Messenger

With this Lovebox on his end, whenever he's away, you can send messages and photos to it via an App. When they arrive, the heart will turn, he'll open the lid, and blissfully smile at the surprise from you.

Koda Outdoor Pizza Oven

How does homemade pizza baked in the backyard sound for, oh, every meal this summer?

Actually Curious The Bundle

More of an anniversary activity for you both than a gift, these cards will set you up with thoughtful, fun, personal, and sometimes provocative conversation prompts to have you exploring all kinds of subjects—dreams, family, love, background, and beyond.

Whiskey Enhancing Oak Tumbler

Crafted from oak wood and lined with honey wax to help bring out the aroma, the tumbler is shaped to enhance the whiskey-drinking experience.

Always In Motion Boxer 5"

Practicality ain't a bad thing. Lululemon's boxers are a very good thing for men who like to stay comfortable no matter how active they are.

Quest 2 All-in-One VR Set

Sometimes, you just have to escape this reality in favor of another. The Quest 2, besides hosting an impressive library of VR games, is built to complement workouts, TV streaming, and more in an alternative realm.

Polarized Aviator Sunglasses

Can't beat 'em. With silver frames and eye-protecting polarized frames, these work for a "silver year" gift, or any year your husband feels like looking cool.

Heated Razor Shaving Kit

Whether shaving is his most or least favorite weekly activity, he's gotta do it. This heated razor will cut through his thick beard like butter.

Blacklock Triple Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet

Lodge's higher-end Blacklock series is the Rolls Royce of cast-iron. Plus, it'll last for eternity. Just like your love for him.

Tikal Rectangular Wood Tray

Perhaps you are with a man who doesn't like fluff. Who doesn't want his gifts to be superfluous. This wood tray is truly beautiful and it'll keep his desk organized.

Bonfire Fire Pit

A good-looking, smokeless fire pit is the perfect centerpiece to his newly redone backyard.

Love You A Latte

Normalize giving men flowers for anniversaries, thanks.

Cloud Cotton Robe

You know he loves the robes at hotels. And the ones at spas. It's high-time he had one that's even better, the one that's a little less plush and a little more everyday.

The Large Flex

For that commemorative anniversary trip you're taking, gift him a suitcase that will fit all of his stuff comfortably.

327 Sneaker

Maybe he won't do big gifts but he will do New Balance 327s. Can't argue with him there.

Get Unlimited Access to Esquire's Gear & Style Coverage

A great gift we'll stand behind forever.
