Our Favourite Spring Anniversary Gift Ideas

We’ve done the hard work for you and curated a gift guide of the best ideas for spring anniversaries, whether you’re buying for your partner or celebrating a close family member’s anniversary. Find specific ideas for March, April and May, inspired by each month’s dreamy stone and flower. Oh, and everything is from the UK’s best independent brands! 

March Anniversary Gift Ideas

The mood in March is very much one of transition as the days get brighter and (hopefully!) less drizzly. At this time of year, you start to see brighter, pastel shades popping up and they’re a great inspiration for gifts, whether it’s a beautiful spring candle, piece of mood-boosting homeware or something for the garden.

Another way to approach your anniversary is by getting a personalised gift that’s made just for them. Maybe it could be customised with the day you met? Or even the location? If they’re not the sentimental type and hate anything soppy, you could even personalise a gift with one of your in-jokes to make them smile. 

March Anniversary Stone

March’s anniversary stone is aquamarine representing clarity, calm and transformation which is very fitting for March as it kicks off the start of a new season, spring. When it comes to jewellery, there are options for everyone, whether it’s a birthstone necklace or even a pair of birthstone cufflinks. For an extra-special touch, combine March’s anniversary stone with another personalised detail like their initials or anniversary flower. Speaking of March’s anniversary flower… 

March Anniversary Flowers

March’s anniversary flower is the symbol of spring, the daffodil, representing renewal, hope and affection. Daffs are a lovely choice especially as they are one of the most inexpensive flowers. Though you don’t have to get them a bunch of daffodils! Thanks to our creative small brands, we’ve got lots of birth flower gifts to choose from. Think birth flower necklaces, beautiful prints, daffodil decorations for the garden and so much more. 

March Anniversary Trips

While the sunshine isn’t guaranteed, March is still a lovely time to book a holiday or experience and can sometimes even be cheaper than going in the summer. Here at Not On The High Street, we’ve got experience gifts you can pick from available all across the UK for every kind of vibe. 

For foodies, indulge them with a feast of cheese and wine. For those in need of a pamper, treat them to a relaxing wellness retreat. And, if they love an adventure, how about a racing car experience? 

April Anniversary Gift Ideas

April is known for two things, April showers (be warned) and beautiful blooms. It’s also a great month to take inspiration from, whether it’s a cherry blossom necklace or heart-shaped macarons. If they’re a foodie, we’ve got food and drink hampers that you can really spoil them with. How about planning a romantic picnic date? 

One thing to always keep in mind when searching for the ultimate anniversary gift is to keep it personal. Whether it’s engraving glasses with your initials, personalising a print or planning a cinema date, a little thought goes a really long way.

April Anniversary Stone

April’s anniversary stone? The classic diamond symbolising purity, strength and lasting love. Though there are more modern options, moissanite, white topaz and crystal, if you’re looking for more budget-friendly alternatives. Diamond jewellery is, of course, a classic and romantic choice and there are options for everyone. Think diamond cufflinks, diamond infinity bracelets and heart lockets.

April Anniversary Flowers

While April flowers are daisy and sweet peas, representing innocence, new beginnings and lasting pleasure, cherry blossoms are also a popular choice as this is the month they typically bloom. Daisy gifts are perhaps the most popular though and it’s easy to see why. From beautiful bracelets to daisy hoops and gorgeous prints, there are so many exciting finds to choose from thanks to our brilliant independent brands. 

April Anniversary Trips

Want to plan a special trip somewhere to celebrate your April anniversary? We’ve got lots of romantic ideas. From going to see the cherry blossom bloom from coastal stays, it’s a great time of year to enjoy the outdoors. 

If they secretly wish they grew up in the regency era, a Bridgerton tour around Bath could be just the thing to show how much you care. If you’re on more of a budget, you can stay closer to home and make the little moments special. Think hosting a fancy picnic (complete with your own picnic table!) or staying home with a spread of delicious afternoon tea treats. Yum.

May Anniversary Gift Ideas

As the days get ever sunnier and brighter, May is the perfect month to make the most of the stunning weather and celebrate your favourite person. When thinking of anniversary gifts, remember that May boasts two bank holidays, so you may want to get a gift you can enjoy over the long weekends. Think BBQ accessories, luxury picnic sets, outdoor games and more fun activities. Personalised travel accessories can also be a lovely idea if you’ve got a big holiday planned. 

May Anniversary Stone

May’s anniversary stone, emerald, is all about growth, renewal and abundance which is basically spring in a nutshell. If their birthday also happens to be in May, you could even treat them to a piece of jewellery that features their Taurus or Gemini zodiac sign along with their birthstone. 

The good news is that our marketplace is filled with May birthstone jewellery to suit any style, whether you’re looking for something handcrafted with care or something personalised just for them. How about a birthstone necklace with their initial? Or a pair of beautiful drop earrings? Whatever you go for, we’re sure they’ll love it.

May Anniversary Flowers

May boasts a stunning anniversary flower, lily of the valley which is known to symbolise purity, sweetness and happiness. These delicate white, woodland flowers are also a popular choice for weddings. If you want to treat them to a bouquet, check out our newly opened Flower Shop which is filled with beautiful bunches from the UK’s best independent florists. 

When it comes to gifts inspired by May’s anniversary flower, there are lots of options to pick from. Think a lily of the valley locket necklace, botanical print, garden decoration and more heartfelt ideas. A really unique idea? These gorgeous, hand-painted candles from independent brand, Kazoku Workshop. They’re perfect either as a gift or to set a romantic mood for date night.

May Anniversary Trips

For late-spring, it’s a great opportunity to take a trip and make the most of the longer days and flowers in bloom. Ideas could be going to a vineyard tour, exploring a beautiful garden or having a hotel getaway. You could even do a spot of glamping if they love the outdoors.  And, if you really want to impress, why not add a personalised gift to go along with your trip? From engraved gin to a photo journal, we’ve got lots of romantic ideas.
