13th Anniversary Gifts for Him
I have to say that the year of lace can be a tough one when it comes to buying for your man! Lace isn’t typically associated with gifts for men, but I’ve dug deep and found some great ideas to inspire you.
1) Personalized 13th Anniversary Lace Print
Show him just how much the last 13 years have meant to you with a personalized image of the most important dates you’ve celebrated together. The subtle lace finish is a nod to your wedding day, while the understated colors and style will look great in all sorts of settings.

Now this is a gift for both of you, really! Pick out some stunning lace lingerie (and get him some new boxers or briefs too) and plan a *ahem* ‘quiet’ night in for your anniversary.
4) Lace Necktie

I am absolutely in love with this tie. It’s a little unusual and the gorgeous combination of black lace and sensible gray takes it to the next level. This might not be for every guy, but if your other half is a fashion-forward soul, he’s going to dig it.
5) Personalized Lace Wedding Anniversary Card
If lace really isn’t going to win him over, pick out a present you know your husband will love and accompany it with a handmade card featuring a little lace. That way, you’ve incorporated the traditional gift while also ensuring he gets something he’ll really love.
You’ve spent years growing more and more entwined with your spouse. Here’s to making beautiful patterns together for the next 13 years! Until next year (hint: it’s Ivory), we wish you all the best!
