15-Year Anniversary Gifts: Crystal and Watches Ideas
For a 15 year anniversary gift, follow the crystal theme (traditional) or the watches theme (modern); the gemstone is ruby, the flower is the rose. A crystal decanter, champagne flutes or a watch with an engraved caseback fits the milestone.

Frequently asked
What is the 15th anniversary gift?
Crystal is the traditional fifteenth anniversary gift, and watches are the modern one. The two combine well in a crystal-detail watch or a crystal-faced clock.
What gemstone and flower are for 15 years?
Ruby is the fifteenth anniversary gemstone and the rose is the flower. Ruby red is the color.
Is 15 years a milestone anniversary?
Yes. It is the last big one before the twenty-year mark, and many couples take a trip or hold a party to celebrate.
What is a good crystal gift under $100?
A pair of crystal tumblers, a crystal candle holder or a crystal ornament costs under $100 and still feels special.
What do you give someone who does not wear a watch?
Choose a crystal piece instead, or a small desk clock. A well-chosen clock still fits the modern theme.
