1st Anniversary Gifts To Buy For Your Partner That They'd Actually Want, Not Need

From watches and rings to coffee machines and notebooks, here's what to get your S.O. - whether it be to celebrate a first year cohabiting, a year since your first kiss or a paper wedding anniversary - might actually want you to buy for them

First anniversaries - if we're talking wedding anniversaries - traditionally call for paper gifts.

It's widely believed that paper symbolises a couple's 'clean sheet' at the beginning of their relationship and its delicate state that requires attention and care for the years to come.

But, in reality, your other half isn't likely to want to receive a postcard or some origami roses - they're going to want something a bit more special.

From coffee machines and jewellery, to designer handbags and technology, there are many gifts online to give your significant other a year after consciously coupling, and many that scream luxury rather than practicality.

After all, such an important milestone in your relationship calls for special, heartfelt gifts.
