Gift for special wedding anniversary

DH and I have a special wedding anniversary coming up. DH wanted to buy me something relating to it, but as I don't like the stone, I've said I don't want anything. We'll be away abroad for our anniversary, so he's said treat that as a joint gift to ourselves and maybe we can choose something as a joint gift while we're away.

I've bought him some luxury chocolates that only he will like, as I still wanted to give him something (and to be honest I know he'll do something similar). However, I've put two and two together and realised he's planned a unique evening out a couple of days beforehand.

I haven't got to spend lots, but trying to think of a little 'meaningful' extra. Any ideas please?

Of the gem stones anniversaries (congratulations!), if you’re not keen on the stone, maybe consider something useful or meaningful in its colour, such as a quality silk tie or other accessories, a print or artwork from a vase or ornament from your upcoming holiday, etc.

Small original artwork or limited print related to a special place. some local artists can be inexpensive.

theatre tickets or gig tickets to see someone he particularly likes.
