The first anniversary with your man should be something extraordinary. It’s not just another day on your calendar – it’s something special, with a unique and beautiful story that you’ll tell your grandkids someday. But instead of just casually doing the same exact things you do every day, why not make it truly special with a memorable first anniversary gift? Here are some ideas to get you started.
A Creative Experience: Surprise him with a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Take him on a hot air balloon ride, or book an exotic trip to a distant and romantic location. Or, keep it close to home and plan a hike or a special picnic together. Whatever you choose, make sure it’s something that he’ll remember for years to come.
A Meaningful Present: Pick out something special for him that will serve as a representation of your relationship — a birthstone necklace, a watch that speaks of your shared enthusiasm for adventure, or a book he’s been wanting to read. The perfect first anniversary gift doesn’t have to be expensive — it just needs to be thoughtful and meaningful.
Sweet Memories: Setting aside time to commemorate the relationship can be a truly special thing to do. Visit the place you had your first date, or recreate that night at home. Create a scrapbook of all the wonderful adventures you’ve had together or surprise him with tickets to see his favorite band.
Personalized Token: A personalized gift will always let him know that you put a lot of thought into it. An engraved wall clock, a beer stein with his initials, or a custom-made coffee mugs with a heartfelt message are all perfect tokens of your love. Alternatively, you can commission an artist to paint a portrait of the two of you or write him a romantic sonnet.
A Night Out: Arrange for a special evening out – like a night at the theater or an opera house. Spend some time pampering yourselves with a spa day or a tour of a famous attraction in your city. Or, make it a romantic night in by cooking his favorite meal, buying party decorations and celebrating the day with your friends.
Spontaneous Adventures: Surprise him with an impromptu weekend getaway or a last-minute fun-filled evening. Take him somewhere he’s never been before, or do something totally out of the ordinary. Flight tickets, tickets to a festival or a sports event, or a special meal at a restaurant he’s been wanting to try out – these will be memories he’ll cherish forever.
Unique Goods: If your man is a fan of tech gadgets, get him something truly high-end. From a drone to a custom-made gaming console, you can bet he’ll be tickled pink. You can also get him a snazzy set of personalized golf clubs, a designer iPad case, or a luxury watch.
No matter what you decide to get him, don’t forget to write him a card to accompany the gift. Put your feelings into words and make sure he knows just how much your love and appreciation mean to you. With a little thought and imagination, you can make your man feel special and give him a memorable first anniversary gift.
