Some Ideas For Novel 1st Wedding Anniversary Gifts

By Lenore Bolton


Married couples are expected to present each other with very specific gifts on the date that they celebrate their union. Traditional 1st wedding anniversary gifts are made of paper. This may sound as if it would be difficult to think of something romantic or valuable made of paper but a little bit of creative thinking can result in fabulous surprises and interesting gifts that can suit any budget.

Money is most certainly an option when thinking about a present made from paper. Some people will say that such a present shows no romance or creativity. The truth is, however, that so many people receive gifts that they simply cannot use or that they do not really like. Giving money is giving a choice. Money can, of course, also be given in the form of vouchers.

Few things can be as romantic as a folder with air tickets and a reservation at a romantic destination. It may be a place that holds particular memories, such as the resort where the honeymoon was spent. Even a cabin at a resort close to home can be special if care is taken to create an intimate and romantic getaway. The idea is to spend some time alone together.

Another thoughtful idea is to present a loved one with a ticket to his or her favorite event. This can be to a sports match, to a concert or even to a gig by a well liked band. If the event is followed or preceded by a romantic dinner it would be even better. The tickets and menus are often kept for the family scrapbook where they will serve to bring back fond memories for years to come.

Many people simply do not have the money to spend on extravagant presents. This does not mean that it is impossible to give something that is romantic, thoughtful and caring. A promise booklet, for example, can be made a home and will tell a loved one that his or her comforts and needs are important. Each page of such a booklet contains a favor that may be claimed at any time.

Books are also affordable presents and with some research it is certainly possible to choose a book that will become a treasured possession. Some people will be very happy to receive a book written by a favorite author, others will appreciate a practical book and yet others find peace and personal growth in books that are positive and uplifting. A book as a present can be very special, especially if it is inscribed with a loving message.

Paper is so all pervasive that anybody should be able to think of some creative way in which to use it as a present to a loved one. A favorite poem, handwritten of good quality paper, for example, can be the epitome of thoughtfulness. A flamboyant message in a newspaper can be one of the most romantic things a loving spouse can do for his or her loved one.

When it comes to 1st wedding anniversary gifts couples can pick and choose. It is perfectly possible to find or make a thoughtful and romantic gift that will suit any budget. There are many websites that offer fabulous ideas and online stores often offer free delivery within a few days of ordering.
