1st Anniversary Gift for Husband: Celebrate 1 Year of Togetherness with Unique Paper Anniversary Gifts that Will Leave Your Husband Looking Forward to Another Great Year!

So you have been married for one whole year and successfully reached your first anniversary. That, of course, is the cause for celebration. The traditional gift for the first anniversary of marriage is paper and we would suggest that you stick with the traditions. If you think that going with paper gifts will leave you with very limited options then you are wrong. Just because your theme is paper doesn’t mean that you have to stick to greetings cards and notebooks.

There are plenty of other gifts which will let you play around with your options while sticking to the paper theme. Think artifacts and accessories made of recycled paper, paper mache, cardboard, etc. You can of course gift other things, but it would be nice to add something made of paper to keep with the theme.

A marriage is successful due to various factors and romance is one of them. Romance is the key to have a successful relationship, both physical and mental. By romance, we don’t just mean the stuff that is sold to us through various media. Satin lingerie and rose petals can mean romance to someone, for others romance can be something else altogether. What you need to do is find the things that spell romance for you and your hubby.

It could be snuggling under a woolen blanket while watching a horror movie or sharing a huge plate of pasta, taking a long walk together in the rain while sharing an umbrella or just sleeping in each other’s arms. Therefore the element of romance plays a key role in the choosing of gifts as well. Pick a gift that defines romance for you. It may be a photo gift or a piece of art, but let it mean something in your relationship.

As the theme of the anniversary is paper, we would suggest that you pay special attention to the gift packaging. In fact, if you choose to go with a gift which does not adhere to the theme, then you could incorporate papercraft in the packaging as a nod to the tradition. There are plenty of things that you can do to make your packaging interesting. You could learn to make paper cutout designs and stick them onto the wrappings. You could use the art of origami which is Japanese paper folding to make interesting shapes and use that for decorating your gift.

Another artistic way is the use of the decoupage technique. Decoupage is pretty easy to do; you just need to have a sense of colours and shapes. All you need to do is cut out images and shapes from old magazines and books and paste them onto a surface to decorate it. Decorating a gift package using paper flowers and cut out shapes from the coloured paper is a simple way to dress up a gift.

Flowers spell out romance but if you want to get a little creative and stick to the paper then we have the perfect flower gift for you.
