Options to Consider Before Buying an Anniversary Gift
Plan a Couple's Treat for Both of You
![](https://ds393qgzrxwzn.cloudfront.net/resize/m720x480/cat1/img/images/0/MQEjcnJubT.jpg)
It may seem like just yesterday when you two got married, but a whole year has passed—and now you're looking for first-anniversary ideas to celebrate the occasion! Ever wish you could re-live your wedding day? You can! Go back in time and revisit the place where you said your vows. If you got married at a hotel, book a room for the evening. If you got married at a restaurant, go back for dinner and possibly even order items served at your wedding. Indulge in dessert too, or head back home to have the top tier of your wedding cake if you've saved it.
Time flies when you're having fun. But if the rest, relaxation, and bliss of your honeymoon feel oh so far away—get out of town. Literally. It doesn't have to be as grandiose as your honeymoon but it totally can be; it just has to be time spent together, and away, making memories as you kick off your second year of marriage and the rest of your lives together.
Chances are the last time you had your hair or makeup professionally done was your wedding day. So, treat yourself and glam it up for the night. Make reservations at a fancy restaurant or buy tickets for a show for the perfect excuse to look your best for a night on the town. We're not talking the usual Friday night in with popcorn and wine.. Ditch your usual takeout options and cook up your favourite meal together, or order in from your favourite upscale restaurant. You won't need to leave the house for an anniversary to remember.
Once your wallets have recovered from all the costs associated with wedding planning, treat yourselves to something special to help commemorate your anniversary, whether it's a right-hand ring for you and the latest tech gadget for him or something you can purchase together that will last forever, like a piece of art or an antique. It just might be the first time since you got married that you treat yourselves.
Have you been considering getting couples tattoos? Your first anniversary is the perfect occasion to get matching ink! Choose tattoos of anything that means something special to the two of you! It can be something like half of it is inked on you and the other half on your spouse.
Get Him Something He Wants
As a woman, buying gifts for men that they actually want is completely confusing. I’m sure men have the same problem buying gifts for women. If your husband is pretty nerdy or into video games, board games, science, outdoorsy stuff like fishing, loves to read or he may watch his favourite sports teams and keeps up with football season, there is always something that you can gift him to enhance his passion. Some men also give out open signals about what they would love to receive as a gift.
Give Him a Personalised Experience
Think from your husband’s perspective. What would he like this day to be? Figure out all that you can do to make this day perfect. If you are busy and mostly dine outside, this day presents a great opportunity to eat a home cooked dinner together. You can try his favourite meal, dessert and wine. Make is as customised as possible. You can also think more along the lines of a luxurious and relaxing in-home massage treatment, sexy lingerie, candles, music, and more.
Don't Wait for the Last Minute
There are plenty of things that it's okay to leave until the last minute, but buying an anniversary gift for your man is definitely not one of them. Waiting until the last minute means you won’t be able to shop online and expect to receive that gift before the anniversary. Even if you do order a day before with next day shipping, the post offices and parcel carriers are swamped with business. Even if they promise to deliver on time, you still run the risk of something going wrong, and your gift shows up the next day. Too late, you missed the boat! Instead of scrambling to get a box of chocolate at the last moment why not put in your effort now? Then, you can sit back and relax, knowing you've gotten something amazing for your husband.
Traditional 1st Wedding Anniversary Gifts
![](https://ds393qgzrxwzn.cloudfront.net/resize/m720x480/cat1/img/images/0/rO6rSqktFf.jpg)
Traditionally, the first anniversary gift should be paper. There are two characteristics of paper that have symbolic meaning for the 1st wedding anniversary. Paper represents a ‘blank canvas’ which, in the first year of marriage, signifies that much of the future for the couple is yet to unfold and be written; and Paper can easily rip, which is a reminder to a couple on their 1st anniversary that they have yet to face a number of challenges that could easily strain the relationship. It therefore reinforces the notions that faith and trust in one another, as well as good communication, are vital in the relationship. The modern substitute of paper is a clock. Clocks signify the concept of time as eternity in the realm of love. A famous quote by Henry Van Dyke stated "For those who love, time is eternity."

Bonus Tip: Make the Gift Giving an Occasion
![](https://ds393qgzrxwzn.cloudfront.net/resize/m720x480/cat1/img/images/0/EkwRS7CG9T.jpg)
Dictionaries describe a gift as something that is 'voluntarily transferred' and 'does not imply compensation'. Of course, that is a spectacular simplification of the concept of gifts.
We give gifts to people whom we to establish a relationship with. Not just the romantic ones, relations of any kind. Giving gifts is an important part of human interaction. It defines our relationships and strengthens bonds with friends, family and lovers. A gift is a symbol for the perceived value of the relationship and thus it becomes indispensible to put in that extra effort or go the extra mile, to an extent that gift giving itself becomes an occasion.
After putting so much thought and care into finding the right present, put a little more effort into how you will present it to him. Hide the gift and leave a trail of clues that will lead him to it; make breakfast in bed for two and slip it under the napkin on his tray, there are loads of ways to add a little more thrill to the experience of receiving a gift.
Celebrate Your Anniversary in a Romantic Location
![](https://ds393qgzrxwzn.cloudfront.net/resize/m720x480/cat1/img/images/0/axQTdqNCZc.jpg)
An anniversary trip is a perfect opportunity to energize any committed relationship. An anniversary vacation promises to combine all aspects of a devoted romance: intimacy and trust. And for lovebirds approaching their first milestone, a romantic getaway can infuse your marriage with much-needed excitement and surprise. Unlike a honeymoon, where newlyweds are often just excited to relax, a successful anniversary trip may require more strategic preparation. After deciding on a destination, consider an itinerary well suited to your specific marital milestone. From daring expeditions to intimate one-on-one moments, these trips prove that an anniversary is the perfect excuse to discover a new part of the world—and a new side of your relationship.

It's the Thought That Counts
No matter what kind of gift or surprise you have planned for your anniversary, what matters is the thought behind it; a small gift, making a homemade surprise or even just making a nice meal for the two of you can be just as sweet and romantic as a fancy party or a big present. Don't get so worked up about what to give or make, or get so tied up with planning every last minute detail of a big celebration that you don't time for what is most important - spending quality time with your husband. This day is about both of you.
