First wedding anniversary gifts

Your wedding has been and gone and before you know it your first wedding anniversary is nearly here. The first anniversary can be difficult to buy for, so here at A1 Gifts we give you some ideas for the perfect first wedding anniversary gift.


Your one year wedding anniversary gift is traditionally represented by paper. This can seem like a boring material but there are so many gifts out there made out of paper that you can let your imagination go wild.


So, if you decide you want to go down the traditional route, as so many married couples tend to do then you will want a gift that is mainly if not fully made up of paper. If your other half would like a sentimental first wedding anniversary gift then the message in a bottle is the perfect present for your loved one. The main part of the present, which is the message is printed on paper and rolled up into a glass bottle. This message can be anything from a love letter to a sweet poem so you can be as romantic as you want.  


Alternatively, if you want to buy your partner a first wedding anniversary gift that is even more unique then you could get a star named after him or her. The star may not be made of paper but the majority of the pack and official certificate you receive is. What could be more special than by having a star named after the one you love? This is an extra special first wedding anniversary gift for them if they are into their stargazing.


But, if your other half would not like either of these but you want something made of paper to mark this occasion then you could get an anniversary commemorative newspaper book. Although, the news within it will only be a year old both of you could keep it and look back through it in years to come and remember not only your special day but what was happening in the world whilst you were saying “I do”. This is a very special gift as it has different excerpts from your chosen date and is presented in a very stylish, not to mention hard wearing cover. This could be bought for any anniversary but as it is made of paper this could be the ideal first wedding anniversary gift for your partner.


On the other hand, if you are looking for a first wedding anniversary gift that isn’t made of paper but is still special then here are some ideas for you to think about.


If you and your partner like to enjoy a glass of wine together then you could consider buying a pair of special crystal champagne flutes. You could buy glasses with a printed message on such as; “Happy Anniversary” or alternatively you could get a pair that you can personalise with your own special message to him or her. A personalised first wedding anniversary gift can make the gift that extra bit special as it shows you have put a lot of effort and thought into your gift.


But, if you want a first wedding anniversary gift that is even more personalised and unique then why not get a photo of the two of you on your wedding day made into a canvas picture.  With the Photo on Canvas we can enlarge any good quality photo to a 40cmx40cm print to proudly display in your home. This is the perfect first wedding anniversary gift to remind them and you of your big day.


Another idea for your first wedding anniversary gift could be a nice figurine to be displayed in your home such as; the lovely Royal Doulton Images figurines which would look great in any house or flat. Another idea is a special anniversary paperweight. This could be a present to be used at home or they could take it to the office and use it to hold their papers down whilst adding a bit of personality to his desk and will remind him or her of your big day.


Whichever type of first wedding anniversary gift you choose make it personal to your partner. Whether you want to go for the traditional paper gift or not there are plenty of gifts to decide from, just think about what your partner would like and what he or she enjoys doing and then start from there.
