Quick answer: for your anniversary, choose a memory from your story and a format your partner will enjoy keeping nearby. A calendar plaque highlights the date; a Spotify plaque combines a photograph and song; a map frame remembers a special place. These ten ideas from iFrame.pt include suggestions for one, five or ten years together.
Start with the moment you want to remember. It might be your first date, the home you moved into or a trip that still makes you laugh. That choice will help you pick the photographs, date and words for the gift.
1. Spotify Lamp with your song
Your first-date song or the one you danced to in the kitchen, alongside your photograph. Scan the code from the Spotify app to open the music, which plays on the phone or a connected device; the plaque has no speaker. There is also a full-photo version.

2. Lamp with your names and the calendar of your month
Your names, a heart, and the calendar of the month it all began, with the day marked. Impossible to forget the date (which, let's be honest, comes in handy too).

What can you give for one, five or ten years together?
One year: keep the beginning
Your first photograph together and the date you got together can make a calendar plaque or frame. In the message, remember one moment from that first year: a trip, a meal or the day you both knew you wanted to stay together.
Five years: choose the moments that shaped you
Bring together three or four photographs from different stages. You could combine the beginning of the relationship, an achievement and a recent picture on a memory plaque. If one place shaped your story, a map frame gives it pride of place.
Ten years: tell the story you have built
Choose photographs that show the journey: the early days, a home, a trip or the family you have built. A portrait or photograph arrangement can accompany a letter about what those ten years mean to you.
What if you live far apart?
Choose a memory that brings you closer, such as a song from a trip or three photographs of time together. Check the address and delivery estimate before ordering. If you both like the idea, arrange to open the gift during a video call.
