Comments Off on Sentiments and Symbols: How to Choose the Best Paper First Anniversary Gift
As the saying goes, “A way to a man’s heart is through his stomach,” and that is especially true when it comes to crafting a unique and memorable first anniversary gift for your husband. Sure, a classic gift such as a watch, a piece of jewelry or a bottle of cologne is nice, but it’s not very personal; and you’re the person who is supposed to know him best.
You want to gift him something that is one of a kind and truly conveys your love, adoration and understanding of him. So, what’s a girl (or guy) to do? Fear not; there is an abundance of creative and rewarding gifts that you can get for your husband on your first anniversary, and it won’t cost an arm and a leg either.
One popular idea for a first anniversary gift for your husband is to organize an intimate romantic evening for the two of you. While there’s no question that dinner at a fine restaurant followed by a glass of sparkling champagne is always appreciated, it lacks the sentiment that comes with something unique and customized to your relationship. Instead, you can prepare a special meal together like a fondue, or make something he loves. Or fill the room with candles, which will not only make a romantic ambiance, but is also cost effective.
You can also add a unique surprise element to the evening. Gather meaningful things from your relationship such as lovey-dovey text messages, mementos from special occasions, and your wedding photo, and place them in thoughtful places like near the bedroom door or on the kitchen counter. You can also surprise him with a heartfelt love letter reading all the things that you love about him.
Another creative first anniversary gift for your husband is to take a memorable trip together. Think of the places you’ve been talking about going to for months but never quite got around to. If it’s too expensive or too far away, you can go on a local camping or hiking trip or a weekend getaway. Choose a place that will create a long lasting and cherished experience for the both of you. You can also surprise him with a memory book of all the special moments you’ve shared together since you got together.
You could also get a personalized gift like a pillow with his initials, a wooden cutting board custom engraved a sweet message, or even a one of a kind framed disc golf target in your backyard. Or you could take a unique picture of months of your anniversary date and have it printed on canvas. Usually, customizing a gift makes it so much more heartfelt, which is exactly what you should be aiming for.
One thing is for sure, when it comes to making the first anniversary for your husband a memorable one the sky is the limit. From romantic meals to unique trips to personalized gifts and heartfelt love letters, there are plenty of options that will make it a day he’ll never forget.
