Our Top Picks

Breville The Barista Express Espresso Machine

4.2
Breville The Barista Express Espresso Machine

 Amazon

This is a kitchen appliance that's far from cliche or boring. The Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine may cost a pretty penny, but it's worth every cent for the person who truly enjoys a rich cup of espresso. The dial gives control over the grind size of the bean, and the water temperature control gets it just right for espresso extraction. You can grind your coffee beans right into the espresso maker, as well as froth milk with the steam wand with this all-in-one product. The machine even features a convenient cup-warming tray and even has a cleaning alert.

Users warn that this machine takes a bit of getting used to and will definitely take up some counter space. Luckily, the design is modern and simple enough to match any kitchen decor style. The machine also makes a good amount of noise, which can be less than ideal during early morning. Still, tens of thousands of positive reviews agree this machine is worth the price. Additionally, Breville offers a one-year warranty in case anything goes wrong.

What to Look For in an Anniversary Gift for Her

Price

You don't have to spend a lot of dough to find a thoughtful present for your wife or girlfriend. The most important thing to consider before shopping is your budget. Luckily, there are countless options, no matter your spending limit. Be sure to find something personal and thoughtful, which can be a loving handwritten card if money is tight.

Sentimentality

When in doubt, choose a sentimental gift that aligns with her interests or honors a special memory. This could be a personal photo display in a special frame, a personalized map marked with places you want to visit together, or a custom playlist full of meaningful songs. Consider her interests and hobbies to find something that she will appreciate on your anniversary or beyond and shows just how much you know and love her.

Practicality

If you and your partner have been celebrating anniversaries for years and you're buying for the woman who already has everything, a practical gift is best. Practical gifts show that you pay attention to her and know what she could actually use in her daily life. This could be a new kitchen gadget to replace a broken one, a new pair of sheets for you both to enjoy, or a piece of luggage for an upcoming trip.

FAQ
  • Do I have to follow anniversary themes every year?

    Every anniversary year has an accompanying theme. While you definitely do not stick to the themes each year, it can be an easy guide to follow when shopping that year. Talk to your partner and see if following themes is something you are both interested in. It could make for a fun challenge, or it may amount to years of presents that never see the light of day. There are no rules when it comes to presents, other than the ones established by you and your recipient.

  • What is a golden anniversary?

    A golden anniversary marks 50 years together. The theme for a 50th wedding anniversary is gold, marking a huge celebration for the couple. The modern and traditional 50th-anniversary gifts are gold, which symbolizes prosperity, strength, wisdom, and lifelong love.

  • What is the theme for a first year anniversary?

    The theme for your first anniversary is paper. Paper symbolizes the strength and connectivity of your blossoming relationship. Some examples of applicable gifts include a cookbook featuring a new cuisine, tickets to a show or sports game, or a custom drawing to hang in your home.
