Buying when you are not sure of a hobby

Without a hobby to anchor the choice, aim for something he would not buy for himself. That usually means an experience, something handmade or something that records a moment you shared.

Check sizes and brands quietly before you buy anything wearable.

Buying for your husband

Husbands often say they want nothing. Take that as a challenge to choose something he would not buy himself.

Add a note that says what you value now, not what you valued then.

If your anniversary is tomorrow

If the date crept up on you, Spa vouchers, gift cards and a personalized game arrive fast and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment. Add a dinner booking and the evening is covered.

Anniversaries reward memory over price. Pick a detail from the first year, the first trip or the first fight, and build the gift around it.
