Good Matching Gifts for You & a Girlfriend on Your Anniversary
Getting your girlfriend a gift that has a matching partner might be just what you need to make her feel extra special on your anniversary. As with most gifts, something with meaning and context is a much better gift than something purchased without a lot of thought. Finding the right matching gift relies on really knowing what both you and your girlfriend value and what is appropriate depending on her tastes. Does this Spark an idea?

Trinkets of Affection

There are many small gifts that have a matching quality that can show how you feel about her. Matching key rings with a love motif are good because they are always on hand. Coffee mugs that have a connected picture when placed next to each other show that they are meant to be together. T-shirts with half an image that complete when you walk down the street arm in arm are a sweet gift as well. Even matching salt and pepper shakers that are of two people hugging or animals nuzzling can let her know you love her and will remind both of you every time you see them on the table.
Half a Heart
-
Another sweet idea is a necklace that has opposite halves of a heart that each of you can wear. When you are together the heart is complete, but when you are apart each of you bears only one half of the heart. These can be as simple or extravagant as you like and your budget can accommodate. The important thing is to put the two halves together and smile.

Support Her Causes
-
A bold choice for a gift is a donation to a cause she believes in. You can make two donations, one in her name and one in yours. Especially if you have been indifferent towards her activism, this gift says "I hear what you care about and because it is important to you, it is important to me." Not everyone will love this gift, but if she is cause driven and loves dogs, make paired donations to the ASPCA or your local animal shelter or rescue group.
Permanant Marker
-
Certainly not for everyone, but for those who like body art you could get matching tattoos. While it is probably best to avoid names in case things change in the future, find an image you both love or an image that you feel represents your relationship. It could be something blatant like a stylized heart or something personal like a picture she has drawn or loves. Getting a tattoo with someone gives you a bond and an ability to look at a permanent marker and return to that moment of love when you got them done.
