Your 1 year anniversary is important and special for no other reason than it is your first wedding anniversary together. Your wife will be expecting something special, not necessarily expensive but definitely special. If you are feeling the pressure here are some great ideas from all of the wedding anniversary gift lists, time to take notes!
Traditionally your 1st anniversary is celebrated with paper, see told you it doesn't have to be expensive, but just getting a card is not going to make the grade when it comes to wowing your wife. Paper can be a love note in a bottle, or lots of love notes dotted around the house and everywhere your wife will find them, that could be the mirror in the bathroom, her purse, on the steering wheel of her car, you could even send her love notes to work! Paper flowers are another sweet 1st anniversary gift, you could make them yourself or you can also buy them and the great thing is they last much longer than real flowers.
Books can be a romantic 1st anniversary gift and a very traditional gift would be a book of love poems, or you could make a photo book from the past year or your wedding and honeymoon photos if you haven't got round to putting those in an album. If you keep everything then you could print off all of your emails that you have sent each other, that would be a story in itself!
Paper anniversary gifts can also be expensive so if you are out to impress how about tickets? They could be tickets to see a show or an anniversary vacation.
On the modern anniversary gift list your 1st anniversary is celebrated with clocks and there are all sorts of clocks to choose from; modern, antique and even sundials would be perfect. You could personalize them with your names or add a little love note to the clock, something like "Every second I love you more", your wife will think that is adorable.
Your 1 year anniversary is also celebrated on other anniversary lists, these are not used as much but you could incorporate them with paper or clocks to make them more obvious. The color associated with your 1st anniversary is yellow and the flower is the pansy - which thankfully is available most of the year. How about a clock with pansies on the face, wrapped in yellow paper? Not to every wife's taste but you would get lots of points for incorporating everything into your anniversary gift!
There is one other anniversary gift list and that is the gemstone one! How spoilt would your wife feel if you followed the gemstone one every year? Your 1st year is freshwater pearls which are beautiful, perfect for your wife's 1 year anniversary gift.
Have fun choosing the gift that you know that your wife would love.
Happy 1st anniversary!
