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.

Each year gives two options, the traditional and the modern. For a couples first year the traditional gift is paper, while the modern is clocks. This means that you should choose a present from one of these categories. While it may seem that it does not leave many choices, once you sit down and think about it, it actually does.

If you do decide to go traditional there are a host of items that you are able to choose from. Begin with a beautiful card that professes your love and devotion. To make it even more special, you could make it yourself. Pour your heart out and your loved one is sure to feel it. To make it even better include a love letter with your card.

Gather together pictures from the first year and incorporate them into a scrapbook. Making one each year is a wonderful tradition to start. It is something that the person making it and the one receiving it will eagerly look forward to each year. Every year you will be able to tell a story with pictures from the past year.

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.

Another nice idea is something for the couple to do together. Tickets to a movie, concert or sporting event that the duo will enjoy would be appreciated. It is nice to get away from the house to enjoy some couple time together. There are a number of activities that you can buy gift certificates for.

Photo presents are now easy to make and inexpensive. Check out some of the unique presents you can make by visiting the photo center in your favorite store. You can also work on your project online and have it sent to you or the pair. Gather a great picture and see what you can come up with.

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.
