Gifts for a 1st year wedding anniversary
It's interesting:"Now, I think you'll agree, after seeing the amount of free booze available at this wedding, that it's a good job it's a Bank Holiday this weekend. And if you do ..."
While the first anniversary is a major milestone in any marriage, it's generally not a time for diamonds and pearls. Paper is the traditional first-anniversary gift, and you can stick to the tradition while offering a gift that is heartfelt and meaningful.
Personal Paper Items
Paper is an ideal medium to write down your personal thoughts and offer it to your loved one or that first-year couple. Do this with a scrapbook, a framed photograph or writing a poem. Other personalized paper items can include a notebook or small photo book containing 365 reasons why you love this person or admire the couple--one for each day of the year. Or keep it simple with a handwritten letter that lets the person or couple know how much they mean to you.
Tickets
Tickets fall under the first-anniversary paper category, and they can range from plane tickets to Paris or seats at an upcoming concert or sporting event. If cash is tight, make your own tickets or coupons that are good for the person's or couple's favorite homemade meal- a service you perform yourself, such as washing the car or cleaning the house- or any other task you feel the recipient will appreciate.
Book
Everybody has a favorite book, and the paper anniversary is a great time to gift that person with his or hers. Pick a few novels, a hardcover edition of a favorite all-time tome, or a subscription to a book club or magazine the person reads regularly. If the gift is for the couple, you can opt for a book they will both enjoy, such as a collection of essays on love, a humorous book on relationships or marriage, or a showpiece coffee-table book with photos of something that interests them both.
