Gift giving takes on a new meaning once you are married. When your first wedding anniversary rolls around, your insight and skills will be tested as you venture to find the perfect gift to suit your spouse. The traditional 1st year anniversary gift of “paper” can seem quite bland and boring. Take our tips and ideas to add pizzazz into your paper gift giving to make your gift anniversary worthy.
- Purchase event tickets for you and your other half for your favorite musician’s concert tickets, movie passes, sporting event tickets or tickets to a Broadway play. If you are crafty, make a ticket shadow box where you can store your ticket stubs for reminiscing.
- If you have money to spare and are looking for a new adventure as lovebirds, consider purchasing plane tickets and booking a hotel stay at a romantic location that is on your bucket list. If travel sounds up your alley for your anniversary, check out these valuable travel tips from Lauren H. Parry, Luxury Travel Advisor with For Travelers Only.
- For the softies at heart, pen your words of love as you channel your inner Shakespeare with a “Fill in the Love Journal” from Knock Knock. This is a great alternative to a social media post professing your love because it will give your spouse a nice keepsake.
- Your first home together (whether an apartment or house) is a place filled with special memories and your share of laughs. Consider getting made a custom framed map by Handmade Headquarters on Etsy that highlights where your life as a married couple began!
- We all know that money does not grow on trees, but your love might bloom with creative ways to use this gift. If you decide to give money as a gift, make sure the presentation is impressive and generous!
