-- One Year Anniversary Gifts --

Just one year ago, wedding bells were ringing! Now, it’s been one year of marital bliss, and it’s time to celebrate your first wedding anniversary! Your first anniversary is such a special one – there are many more to come. The swirl of excitement around the wedding and being newly weds is nearly over, so finish off the year with a flourish and celebrate your first anniversary in style!

First Anniversary Gifts

Traditionally, the first wedding anniversary meant gifts made of paper. If you want to use this as a guide, you can get very creative! Gifts could include any of the following (or come up with your own unique idea!). Each of these gifts has “paper” as its inspiration:

-A first printing of a favorite book-Tickets to go see a favorite band, musician, or sporting event-A brand new printer with a package of paper-A book of photo memories-Personalized stationery, such as note cards, paper, envelopes, or business cards

Other paper gifts might include a framed and mounted personalized poem, a gift certificate for a spa treatment, or a piece of artwork. You might also hire a photographer to do a photo shoot of the two of you to capture this moment in your lives. Afterwards, you can frame a few of the photos in your home.

Plastic Anniversary Gifts

The modern version of a first anniversary gift is made of plastic – not exactly the most romantic material, is it? Consider a pair of fancy sunglasses with some plastic involved in the frames; or opt to get creative. For example, you might purchase a plastic sand-pail, and fill it with chocolates and a certificate for a day at the beach. You might also find unique household items such as lampshades or chairs, or outdoor patio items, that are made of plastic. Want to get creative with the term “plastic”? A credit card / gift card is a wonderful gift that the shopaholic in your life will adore!

One-Year Anniversary Travel

If you have not yet had the opportunity to take your honeymoon, now is the time! Whether you opt for a week in the Caribbean, a weekend at a cozy cabin, or a few days in a neighboring city, the important thing is spending some time together! Reminisce over the past year, and celebrate spending your first year of marriage together!

One Year Anniversary Gift Surprises

Everyone – well, almost everyone – loves a surprise (especially a romantic surprise!). Your spouse will no-doubt be looking forward to your anniversary. How can you let him or her know just how happy you have been over the past year? Plan a unique surprise that he or she will never guess. Splurge on tickets to a concert you know your partner will love, or surprise your partner with a spa gift certificate after a long day at work. Fresh flowers delivered to her office? Yes, please! A romantic night for two is the perfect way to celebrate your anniversary, whether you find yourselves at home, or on holiday. Consider preparing a short toast, or writing a love letter, in advance so you don’t find yourself stumbling for words on the big day.

Congratulations on your first year of marriage!
