First Wedding Anniversary
The perfect first anniversary gift is a love letter or love poem on scented paper with a pretty design that you know she will find appealing. All you need to do is sit down and write from the heart. It does not need to be a literary masterpiece because it is the thought that really does count most here. Check out our anniversary poem section for inspiration.
Before you start writing, think about how she makes you feel and all the reasons you are so fortunate to be together. Let her know you appreciate her. You can accompany this love letter with another more traditional gift if you wish, like flowers, and it will really blow her away. We can assure you she will be impressed that you remembered the anniversary ahead of time and took the time to write a personalized letter or poem.
Here is another tip: On your anniversary morning, give her a kiss and wish her a happy anniversary first thing before you even get out of bed to let her know that this was your first thought upon waking, and you will be off to a brilliant day!

- From our Visitors -
On our first anniversary I got my husband a year's subscription to our local newspaper. He loves to read, and every time he picked up the paper he was reminded of me.
-- Jodi Etheredge
On my first wedding anniversary I bought my husband and myself matching pens and got them engraved. Something we could keep forever.
-- Regards, Jackie Whitford
When my cousin started planning his wedding and arrranging a wedding list, he simply said that after paying out for the cost of the wedding he would not even have a pot to pee in! So, to ensure that this never happened I searched everywhere and managed to buy him and his wife an antique chamber pot. So it seemed only appropriate that for his first and "Paper" anniversary I buy him and his good misses toilet paper.
