Work Anniversary Gift Ideas by Year — 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25

A one-year work anniversary and a twenty-year one call for different gifts — treating them the same is usually why work anniversary gifts feel like an afterthought. Here's how to think about it by milestone.

Does a work anniversary gift need to change based on the year?

Yes — a 1-year anniversary gift signals "we're glad you're here." A 10 or 20-year gift needs to acknowledge real tenure, since a generic gift at year 20 can read as less thoughtful than the same gift at year 1.

What's a good gift for an early milestone like 1 or 5 years?

At 1 and 5 years, a personalized keepsake acknowledging the individual — rather than a generic length-of-service item — signals genuine recognition this early. A custom figurine with a small base inscription noting the year works well here.

What's a good gift for a major milestone like 10, 15, 20, or 25 years?

Major milestones call for something with more weight than the earlier years. Many companies pair a custom figurine with a detailed base inscription noting the specific year, treating it as a genuine tenure marker rather than routine recognition.

Can this be ordered for one employee, or as a bulk order?

Both — a single milestone gift is ordered the same way as any other Solo Portrait piece, while bulk orders of 5 or more for multiple employees hitting milestones in the same period qualify for volume pricing through our Corporate Gifts line.

How much does a work anniversary figurine cost?

Individual pieces start at $219 for a Solo Portrait figurine. Corporate Gifts pricing for orders of 5 or more is provided by quote based on quantity and packaging.

Ready to plan a milestone gift that actually reflects the tenure? Start on our Solo Portrait page for an individual gift, or see Corporate Gifts for bulk orders of 5 or more. For the full corporate ordering process, see The Complete Guide to Custom Corporate Gift Figurines.
