Choosing the right anniversary gift comes down to two things only: are you going for a traditional anniversary gift, or are you seeking something extra, over the top, both functional and romantic?
In this post, I will give you tons of awesome romantic anniversary gift ideas for your hubby. The best part is that they are really useful gifts you will be proud to give. This means that I’m not asking you to create a Spotify playlist for free and claim it as a gift. We know you want to spoil your man. I’ve got you!
So, what is the focus, then? What is a 5-senses gift?
Simply put, you should gift your husband five different things that stimulate his five basic senses: something he can smell, something he can taste, something nice to the touch, something he can listen to, and something to look at.
You can wrap each gift individually and place them in a gift basket. Alternatively, you can have five different gift bags – one for each item.

25 Ideas – Five for Each Sense
Don’t forget to wrap the gifts individually and place special tags like these ones on each gift so he knows what’s coming.
5 Senses Anniversary Gifts For Him: Something To Smell
I believe you already know what I'm about to offer as "something to smell"! But perfumes aren't the only things your hubby can enjoy sniffing through! Let's see how many cool ideas I can come up with.
We both know that a man's perfume can do wonders to us, their other halves! Go big with his "something to smell" because you will be smelling it, too, girl! And this eau de parfum by Givenchy is an aroma you want to lose yourself into.
Yes, he is your perfect man, so how about you just admit it? Well, this handmade and gorgeous-smelling soap will do that instead of you.
Let's just say that guys love cool things! Well, this essential oil defuser is a really cool-looking item! He can take it to his office or have it in the garage. And no, these aren't real flames, and that's the best part of it!
If you've read even one romantic book in your life, you would know that the main male character smelled like sandalwood or amber! If you're asking me, I have zero clue what that is, but writers say it's one of the perfect scents that can come from a guy, so why not listen to them? Imagine your man suddenly smelling like a main character in your life! Well, this aftershave has all those mystery aromas combined.
You might want to argue with me that a massaging oil isn't a "something to smell" gift but "something to touch". You do you! The gentle, sensual aroma of this massage oil will prove you wrong (and right, too) very quickly.
Anniversary 5 Senses Gifts For Husband: Something To Taste
Now that you know what to get him for the "smell" sense, it is time to refocus on the "taste". Here are my humble ideas!
This basket will give him more than one thing to taste. Oh, and there might be a bottle or two of Italian wine to enjoy, too. They might or might not be accompanied by some crackers, savory cheese, delicious pasta, and more... I just know you will have a busy and very pleasant evening!
Over 30 decadent gourmet foods and tempting treats come in an aesthetically pleasing wooden basket, challenging his taste buds with each bite. This is a brilliant idea for the health-conscious husband who always gives chocolate a side eye.
How does a S'more experience sound to you? Because this chocolate s'more basket will take that experience to another level. Gorgeous assortment of chocolates and, of course, s'mores.
The Gourmet Hot Sauce collection challenges the taste, making it a perfect five-sensory gift idea for your husband. This box is a set of 30 different sauces your BBQ-obsessed husband will worship for months.
If none of the ideas above matched your taste, a simple bottle of alcohol, his favorite one, is always a good idea. Cool bottles are also a bonus.
Anniversary 5 Senses Gifts For Husband: Something To Touch
A soft knitted pullover will always be nice to the touch, functional and stylish.
Tell me you don't see yourself benefitting from this foot massager on the very first day of gifting it to your husband. And no, that's not a good reason to choose it as a "touch" gift, but seriously... a foot massager? It's the perfect idea!
A good-quality leather wallet is a must-have for every man! Ghurka is one of the best, so consider a leather wallet your "something to touch" gift.
Hold on! That's not for him! That's for you, and it's the perfect "something to touch" gift for your hubby. You! You are the thing he's going to touch... I'll leave it here!
These bracelets are so trendy right now! Why? They hold memories, but in such a delicate way that nobody else would notice! You choose the photo and leave the rest to the awesome creator.
Anniversary 5 Senses Gifts For Husband: Something To Listen to
Super cute, affordable, and customizable gift for hubby: soundwave art that would give him a shortcut to any sound you wish him to listen to. How about you saying that you love him? Maybe the song for your first dance as a married couple? How about the laughter of your children while playing? The options are endless but equally special.
Yes! Listening to audiobooks on his commute to work, while jogging in the morning, or working in the garage is probably the best "something to hear" gift for any man. It's entertaining, educational, and seriously cool!
Of course, one of the most memorable gifts for him would be to go to a concert by his favorite band! Hey, you can join him and have fun together.
Yes, you can sway together to old blues and new new songs... This mahogany record player is such a treasure to have in the house; your hubby will love it as an anniversary gift!
Ok, this one truly is about your first dance and the feelings you shared at that moment. Do you remember the butterflies in your tummy? Were you gazing into his eyes, wondering what the next decades would bring you? Revive that feeling with this gift.
Anniversary 5 Senses Gifts For Husband: Something To Look At
Sending your man to watch a game is such a treat for him. Just be sure to send him to a game where he supports at least one of the teams.
