Tips for Buying Appliances as Anniversary Gifts
There’s nothing wrong with a bouquet of flowers or concert tickets as an anniversary gift, but some couples are changing how their honor each year they spend together. Marriage is about building a life together – a home and a family. To celebrate this event, some couples are using their anniversaries to invest in the homes they built together and improve their living experiences.
This year, consider firing up the romance with a grill. Reminisce about the cafes from your honeymoon in Paris with a new coffee maker. Use your anniversary budget to upgrade your home appliances and use these items throughout the year.
Here are a few top anniversary gifts for couples that you can use every day for the next 10 years together.
Best Big Appliance Gift
GE® 27.7 Cu. Ft. Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator
GE Series Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator
It’s okay to use your anniversary budget on a practical gift that everyone in the family will use. An aging refrigerator can frustrate you when it breaks and cause you to waste food. Consider upgrading to this family-size model from GE with an ice and water dispenser.
Steel is technically an 11th-year anniversary gift, but this stainless steel refrigerator is still one of the top 10-year anniversary gift ideas for couples. If you moved in together after the wedding, your applianced might be starting to wear out. Replace your fridge before it gives out.
This is a popular refrigerator model with thousands of online reviews. One happy customer says, “I pushed for a GE against other brands due to previous positive experiences with the GE… The added ice maker in the bottom will serve us well during the hot summer season at the beach.”
Of course, you can use this refrigerator to set the stage for a great anniversary weekend. After it's delivered, pack it full of your favorite foods for a romantic dinner. This could include steak, oysters, champagne, chocolate cake, and any other romantic goodies you think of. You can also place roses on the shelves. When your partner inspects the new fridge, they will love the surprises you have in store for them.
Best Gift to Buy as a Couple
Frigidaire® 30" Stainless Steel Freestanding Electric Range
Frigidaire Stainless Steel Freestanding Electric Range
A range is another great option if you are considering kitchen appliances for gifts. If you and your partner both love cooking, you can see how frustrating a worn-out range can be. An oven that doesn’t cook evenly can burn half of your food while leaving the rest raw. Unpredictable burners can make cooking almost anything a challenge.
This range in particular is one of the best anniversary gifts for couples who love to cook. It comes with five burners, including a dual-ring burner that heats at two sizes. One partner can prepare pasta in a delicate sauce on one side of the range while another sautes vegetables on the other. And don’t forget the rolls baking in the oven for dinner! You will fall in love with food and each other all over again.
You can learn more about this range by reading customer reviews. One person writes, “ It actually cooks evenly (I love to cook so this is important to me). I also have a side cookie business - and my chocolate chip cookies come out perfect every time! It's also very easy to clean.”
Best Gift for Her
Thermador® 24" Masterpiece® & Professional Series Built-In Coffee Machine - Brushed Stainless Steel
Thermador Masterpiece Professional Series Built-In Coffee Machine
There are practical anniversary gift ideas for couples (like a new dishwasher or microwave) and there are luxury options that can elevate your day-to-day living. This coffee maker falls into the latter category.
It is a built-in coffee machine that can bring the experience of visiting a coffee shop right to your home. You can program and prepare up to 10 different beverages, ranging from a hot cup of tea to a complex cappuccino. There are also two different spouts to prepare drinks at once, so one partner doesn’t have to wait for their coffee.
This is one of the top 25th-anniversary gifts for couples who love coffee. It comes with a built-in bean grinder and container so your brews are always fresh. You can adjust the strength of the coffee and the pump pressure to customize your drinks.
Customers need to be careful when buying this product: there’s a chance your Thermador coffee maker ruins the coffeehouse experience for you. Why would you settle for a subpar drink when you can enjoy a perfect cup of coffee – just as you like it – right from your own house? This appliance is also easy to clean and maintain to optimize coffee production.
Best Gift for Him
Coyote C-Series Built-in Liquid Propane Gas Grill-Stainless Steel
Coyote C-Series Built-In Liquid Propane Gas Grill
If you are in the process of remodeling your backyard patio, make this gas grill one of your anniversary gifts. The Coyote C-Series is for amateur grillmasters who would love to be professionals. It comes with a commercial-style design but is made for residential homes.
Your partner will love the 40,000 BTU gas power levels and the 640 square inches of cooking space. There are also optional add-ons like a rotisserie kit or smoker box depending on what you like to cook.
Grills actually make great anniversary gifts for couples because not all houses come with them. A couple you know might already have a range and a refrigerator but might not have an outdoor grill. Other unique patio-based appliances you can give include a pizza oven, wine cooler, fire pit, or additional outdoor kitchen accessories.
This is also a great gift to debut before a major anniversary party. Present the gift ahead of the party so it’s set up and ready to use when you have friends and family over. This way everyone you know can celebrate your relationship over burgers or grilled veggie skewers.
Tips for Buying Appliances as Anniversary Gifts
Appliances can make exceptional anniversary gifts; however, there are a few things to look out for when shopping for big-ticket items. You want to surprise your loved one and celebrate your relationship but also need to do some planning so the gift is received well. Here are a few tips
- Set a gift budget. You might shock your partner if they spend $20 on flowers and you spend $2,000 on a new refrigerator. Both parties should be in agreement on what is fair to spend.
- Discuss buying a single item together. Instead of spending money on an anniversary trip or staycation, consider remodeling your kitchen or upgrading your appliances. In this case, both partners can contribute financially to the purchase.
- Use each other's strengths. Marriage is about working together. If one partner loves doing research and comparing specifications, let them take the lead on selecting a new appliance.
- Make appliance shopping a fun experience. Hire a sitter for the kids and head out to look at appliances together. Stop for lunch or drinks after your purchase to celebrate your anniversary together. Who knew you could have a date night at an appliance warehouse?
- Add romance to the new appliance. Use your new range to prepare a romantic dinner or surprise your partner with breakfast in bed with coffee from your new machine. This moves your appliances away from practical purchases and toward romantic gifts.
