You're trying to find something that actually measures up to a relationship that's lived-in and layered, without defaulting to something he'll quietly appreciate and never think about again.
An anniversary gift should feel like evidence. Evidence that you've been paying attention, that you see the person he is now rather than reaching for something safe. It doesn't need to be extravagant — it needs to be right. The ideas here are chosen with exactly that in mind.
