Great Gifts for Your First Anniversary

When you celebrate a wedding anniversary, it is a very special day.  This is your chance to commemorate time spent with the love of your life, and finding a great gift is important.  Let’s look at a few fun and traditional gifts for your first anniversary.

One great gift for your first anniversary is a framed ‘couple’ photo.  Photos make great traditional gifts, especially if you have a cherished photo of the two of you put into a beautiful frame.  Visit a craft store to pick up some scrapbooking supplies, and you’ll find that you have even more options. Photo albums are also wonderful keepsakes, and you will find that you can have wedding photos, love letters, and more put into a special book for your spouse.

If you want to be a bit more dramatic, plane tickets are great gifts for a first anniversary.  You learn a lot about a person when you travel with them, and going on a trip together can be a way to build fun new memories. Whether you buy tickets to Europe or simply across the state, the gift of travel is always well received.

Buying traditional gifts is a great way to say “I love you.”  Remember that sticking with traditional gifts doesn’t have to mean being simple or boring.  Giving tickets or even including a meaningful paper letter in a package with another gift can be a great plan for your first anniversary. 

While a year is a short time in the grand scheme of marriage, it is a truly wonderful milestone for any couple who is truly in love.
