Leather
-
The traditional gift of leather can look expensive and elegant. Buy him a fitted brown or black leather jacket. Pick out an expensive real leather belt for him to wear with a suit or casual pair of jeans. Alternatively, choose a leather laptop bag or travel kit if he travels a lot on business. Buy him a comfortable leather recliner to relax on after a hard day's work. Another option is a watch with a leather strap.
Crystal
-
You can buy decorative items, such as a crystal clock for the home or office and engrave it with your wedding date. Toast your anniversary with a set of crystal flutes, which can be used on future anniversaries. Choose a paperweight if you're looking for a small crystal item. For a creative twist to a crystal theme, buy him a film starring actor Billy Crystal.

Glass
-
Glass may suit your husband's taste more than crystal. If he enjoys your homemade foods, present him a glass jar of homemade jam. Buy a pair of wine glasses and his favorite wine to share on your anniversary. A glass table to decorate the living room is another idea. Buy him a pair of stylish designer glasses or sunglasses. A telescope with a glass lens is a unique gift idea which can be enjoyed together under the stars.
Jade
-
Jade cufflinks are a suitable accessory for your husband. Alternatively, choose a sculpture made from jade, such as a Buddha, dragon or lion, to display in your home. Jade comes in various colors including green, black and red.
