Anniversary gifts for him, whether you’re celebrating 10 years or the very first, prove to be some of the hardest ones to shop for. Men are, infamously, enigmas when it comes to telling you exactly what they want.

You won’t find a Pinterest board on his account labeled “Luxuries I Desire” or get much help from his friend group, making it tougher to knock it out of the park and fulfill your ride-or-die’s deeply buried wishes.

Got jolted awake by the rude realization that your anniversary is in less than a week? Many of these online options are accompanied by fast shipping, arriving at your door as speedily as overnight while looking like something you’ve spent a long time planning for.

(We won’t tell.) My own boyfriend of over two years is currently in his watch hyperfixation era, so I’m planning on grabbing him an elegant, masculine chronometer for our third anniversary next summer. This one from Swiss watchmaker Longines is an instant classic — flaunting practical specs (like water resistance of up to 30 meters) and avoiding garishness with its textured leather strap plus stylish, silver-tone dial complete with a date window.

If he is the type of guy who can successfully rock a brightly colored suit, we’re here to tell you that a man can never own too many. Suitshop ‘s linen coordinates in Olive are, per the brand, “inspired by breezy coastal Mediterranean days,” displaying visible weaving, an aversion to wrinkles and an inherent suaveness that you’re sure to appreciate, too.

Forget Barry’s: Orangetheory is the place to be if he’s looking to work on his cardiovascular endurance while achieving some muscle gains in an intense, coach-led environment that fosters community and makes cross-training fun (or at least as fun as hitting your maximum heart rate on a rowing machine can be). Certain locations, around LA or otherwise, offer one complimentary class to start.

So your husband wears his emotions on his sleeve — rare and impressive indeed. This also means he’ll adore (and likely cry over) the pictured first date portrait from Ukrainian Etsy artist Ruslana Shpuk. All you have to do is send her a photo of the spot where it all started, and Shpuk will draw it by hand before transforming the piece into an easy-to-print digital file. “What a perfect and unique gift!

My fiancé was blown away when he opened it,” shares one reviewer. He’d rather be golfing, and you’d rather invest in a crème de la crème stand bag that will last him, well, forever versus just a few years at the country club. Luckily, Malbon is synonymous with “crème de la crème,” so its durable, capacious, multi-pocketed and artfully designed bag will elevate not only his game but also his entire golf getup.

Learning the art of independent filmmaking from Spike Lee, getting good at screenwriting under the tutelage of Aaron Sorkin and sharpening his film-scoring skills with Hans Zimmer: all this, and more, is possible at MasterClass , an online learning platform that taps world-renowned experts and gives users a chance to expand their horizons (from the comforts of home sweet couch).

Nothing’s hotter than a man donning a chain (have you even seen Ryan Gosling in Crazy, Stupid, Love ?). David Yurman’s strand comes in a slew of differently priced lengths and will complement his Ami Paris sweaters just so. And if your beau works in the recording industry — or simply enjoys jamming out in his Bang & Olufsen headphones — consider this personalized gift a nonnegotiable.

Employing an upcycled vinyl LP (your call if it’s platinum or gold), the meaningful wall art provides ample space for your two names, the titles of up to five songs that have played a pivotal role in your relationship and a message honoring “a newborn solo act, a romantic duet or your favorite golden oldies,” as Uncommon Goods puts it.

Want to encourage him to take better care of his skin, without saying nearly as much? Elemis has your back. Its skin-care gift set for men features a resurfacing facial wash, an exfoliator and a sumptuous moisturizer for locking in all that newfound glow.

Before you begin making your own mini-mes, let Funko do the job for you: quite literally turning the power couple that you are into collectible vinyl figurines with customizable hair colors, body types, facial hair, outfits and more. He will never find a better girlfriend, and you’ll never find a better deal on arch-supporting leather sneakers for men.

Sure, Omaha Steaks deliveries are cool, but in case your man is Team Carbs, not Team Protein, here’s an alternative. Wildgrain is in the business of sending out bake-at-home, artisanally made breads, pastas and pastries every month like clockwork. In this particular box, he’ll get everything from a full-size sourdough loaf to apple cider donuts (based on seasonal availability) and mouthwatering cavatappi. Remember, the way to a guy’s heart is through his stomach.
