A good anniversary gift doesn’t have to be big. It just has to be about the two of you: the day it all began and what you want to say to each other next. The Wish Lantern is a decorative 3D-printed lantern, assembled by hand in our workshop in Poland. We engrave your names, a date and a short wish on it, and in the evening its warm LED light brings that date back without a word.
Relationship anniversary or wedding anniversary?
It doesn’t matter which date you celebrate. You can match the lantern to any of them:
- ✦first anniversary — the date of your first date or the day you became a couple,
- ✦wedding anniversary — the date of the ceremony you know by heart,
- ✦milestone anniversaries — 5, 10 or 25 years; here “since 2015” often looks better than a full date.

Which date to engrave
The engraving has three fields: name (up to 22 characters), date (up to 22 characters) and wish (up to 42 characters). Two names fit comfortably in the name field, for example “Anna & Tom”. Write the date the way that suits you:
- 01a full date, e.g. “14.06.2019” — the classic option,
- 02“since 2015” — good for milestone anniversaries and couples who don’t remember the exact day,
- 03two years side by side, e.g. “2015 · 2025” — when you celebrate a particular jubilee.
That leaves 42 characters for the wish, so every word counts. Short and specific beats long and general: a phrase you both use, the place you met, a promise.
For her, for him, for both of you
An anniversary gift for her often means flowers, for him — a gadget. The lantern is neither, and that is exactly why it works for both. It is about 18 cm tall and fits on a shelf, a chest of drawers or a bedside table. It lights up when you plug in the USB-C cable, with no candles and no open flame, so there is no flame to watch and no wax to clean up.
Which light colour to choose
There are four colours:
- ✦amber — the warmest, reminiscent of candlelight,
- ✦blush — soft and romantic,
- ✦gold — festive, suits milestone anniversaries,
- ✦warm white — the most neutral, fits any interior.
How to order
In the Wish Lantern configurator you enter the names, date and wish, choose the light colour and see a preview of the engraving straight away (the preview is illustrative). The lantern costs 199 zł, and InPost delivery — to a parcel locker or by courier — is free. We deliver within Poland only.
Every lantern is made to order: production takes up to 5 business days and shipping up to 48 hours. If your anniversary is close, order with time to spare — it is better for the gift to wait a few days in a drawer than to be watching out for the courier on the day itself.
The parcel contains the engraved lantern, a USB-C cable, an elegant gift box and a note card, so there is nothing else to wrap. And if you are looking for something for a couple who are only just getting married, see our wedding gift with names and a date.
