Tips For 1st Wedding Anniversary Gifts

By Tameka Ware


All anniversaries are special and should be celebrated. However, some seem to be just a bit more significant and worthy of special treatment. The first, tenth, twenty-fifth and fiftieth for example. Out of all of them, the first may be the one celebrated more than any other. This is a year of learning and many say the most difficult. That may be the reason why 1st wedding anniversary gifts are so often searched for.

Presents and celebrations for anniversaries have been going on for as long as anyone can remember. Each year has its own guidelines for presents. For example the first is traditionally paper. In addition to the traditional guides there is also modern suggestions. For this important year the modern suggestion is clocks. If you want to be traditional you can follow these guides. Of course you are also free to buy anything that you want, if you are not interested in the tradition.

There are a great many things that can be chosen that are made from paper. A nice card, a book, or even money would all be appropriate. When it comes to clocks, the styles are virtually endless. It is a nice idea to choose something that will be symbolic to the couple. Perhaps a book of poems that has includes a poem that may have been read at the wedding would be a nice idea.

Another fun idea is a scrap book. Include as many photos of the first year as possible. This will be like a time line of the entire 12 months since the couple wed. It will be wonderful to look back on over the years. A great tradition would be to make one each year to be presented on this special day.

If you decide to go with the more modern present of a clock, think about choosing one with personalization. You may want to have a picture on the face of the clock. Perhaps the two of you together. You are able to have many presents including clocks personalized with names and dates. This will always be a happy reminder of your special day.

Something that the two of you can do together would be fun. Surprise your partner with a gift certificate for a massage and then a romantic dinner out would be wonderful. A couples massage would be even better. Anything that the two of you would enjoy doing together is a perfect way to commemorate the day.

The scrapbook is not the only photo gift that you can give. Check out the photo section of your favorite pharmacy or department store for many more ideas. You can put pictures on almost anything. Cups, ornaments, aprons and playing cards are just a few options. Look around to find something that will be used often so you are able remember this day all year long.

Of course when it comes to 1st wedding anniversary gifts, you do not have to stick with paper or clocks. You can get anything you desire. Whether traditional, modern or something else, your thoughtfulness will surely be appreciated. The important thing is to let the couple know that you remember their special day and want to celebrate their love for one another.
