Did we mention how absolutely gorgeous these chocolates are? They are the kind that melt in the mouth mmmm and we have no photos to share of us enjoying them as they never last long enough. Sorry!
5. 1st Anniversary Picture Gifts
Your 1st wedding anniversary gifts are traditionally celebrated with paper and if you haven't managed to get your photos printed or put in an album then now would be a really good time, before you get tied up in all sorts of other stuff that marriage brings!
If you love your wedding photos so much you could have your favorite printed onto canvas, a reminder of your special day.
You could also have a sketch or painting from your wedding day, a popular trend at the moment is to have your wedding dress sketched or you could have your bouquet or an original painting of the two of you.
Or you could have this fun caricature of the two of you. All you need to do is email them a photo that you would like to have turned into a photo.
6. Paper Jewelry
Paper jewelry is a great way to fit the theme of your 1st Anniversary with a wonderful gift.
The paper has been treated and varnished so it will last for ages, plus it looks beautiful too.
You can find stunning paper jewelry on
- amazon
- etsy
- novica
- and also have a look at instagram too with all of the small businesses as you will be bound to find something unusual.
7. Message In A Bottle
You may want to throw your bottle when you are both together and then wait to see if it comes back to you!
8. Message On A Balloon
This is kind of like sending a message in a bottle but instead you let your messages float away, up into the sky.
We sent our balloon message from the UK and it landed in a farm in Holland, very kindly they sent the note back to us (via airmail) and added their own Happy Anniversary message, which made it even more perfect.
If you don't fancy sending your message up and away, how about tying your own love notes to lots of helium balloons and have them above your bed?

19. Create Your Own Anniversary Memory Book
Create your own anniversary memory book. It could be filled with your memories from your 1st year of marriage or you could look at adding a new page each year with the highlights from the past year.

Thankfully we have a number of anniversary poems that have been sent in by our visitors and they are very talented. Hopefully you will find just what you are looking for.
21. Have A Song Written About Your Love
Don't worry if you are not musical you can still have a song written about the two of you.
There are a number of musicians that offer this and you can find them on twitter or fiverr. They may not be the best song you have ever heard, but in a way that kind of makes it more romantic as you know that you will both love it!
Alternative 1st Anniversary Gift Ideas
- Other fun stuff to do on your first anniversary would be to watch your wedding video and maybe even dance again to your first dance.
- You could also have your wedding meal all over again, the one that you probably didn't get to enjoy as you were so busy enjoying the day! This could mean a trip back to your wedding venue or you could surprise your other half by cooking it yourself or have fun recreating it together.
- And if you are going to get your dancing shoes on and cook a great meal why not invite a few friends round and have a party! It doesn't have to be anything extravagant, infact you probably want a more chilled day after all the excitement of the past year.
- And how about renewing your wedding vows? This does not mean another big celebration like your wedding, it could be just the two of you in your favorite place in the world saying the same vows you said a year ago. You could add extra bits to your vows and start a lovely traditional that is just for the two of you.
- If you didn't manage to have the wedding you wanted due to any number of reasons; military, financial or family issues, then if you can now why not celebrate in style!
Have fun celebrating your marriage and enjoy your first one together.
