Traditionally, the first wedding anniversary is your 'paper' wedding anniversary. So give him a gift made of paper.

Some ideas:

- concert/movie/theatre tickets

- a book that he'd love

- write him a love letter

- a book of 'coupons' he can redeem at any time, eg '1 free massage', etc

- plane, train or other transport tickets for a weekend away

- scrapbook/photo album of your relationship

use your imagination!

Answer 5

I've done a couple of different things.  For my our anniversary I gave my husband a small scrapbook of pictures of us dating up through our first year of marriage. He LOVED it.  In a previous relationship I did a shadow box that had things like airplane ticket from when i went to see him when we lived apart, football game ticket stub, a flower he gave me, a picture of our son, a picture of our first date, and some other memorable things.  He really liked that and it only cost me money for the shadow box.

Answer 6

I just had my first wedding anniversary a little over a month ago, and I wrote my husband a list of 50 reasons why I'm still glad I married him.  And I got him a fishing pole too.  :) But the list was fun to make and read.

Answer 7

what about a momento from your first date or the first time you met? like from a restraunt or something like that...

Answer 8

write a letter to him telling him how its has been as his wife, homecooked meal  and a very special initimate dessert if know what mean.

Answer 9
