f you're a husband or wife about to celebrate your first wedding anniversary - congrats! All wedding anniversaries are special but the first is a biggie. Traditionally, couples give one another gifts for anniversary themed around paper to mark their first year of marriage. After that, there's a theme for every year, from silver for your 25th anniversary and gold for your 50th to the lesser-known willow (9 years) and wine (17).
We’ve taken that first anniversary gift online paper theme and run with it, curating a selection of wedding anniversary gifts for him, her and for the two of you. For the traditionalists, there’s a few beautiful books dating back hundreds of years and notepads for scribbling love poetry into.
If you’re looking for more unusual first wedding anniversary gifts, we’ve also found a series of presents which expand on the theme: think paperclip jewellery, newspapers from the day you were married and a candle which smells just like a library filled with vintage books.
If you’re willing to put in a little more effort, there’s also a ton of gorgeous personalised presents filled with special meaning. From a charming illustration of your first home through to a print themed around your first dance tune, some one-of-a-kind same day delivery gifts online are available to throwback to your biggest relationship milestones. And for those who can’t resist getting crafty, there’s also a stunning wedding journal you can pen your own love story in.
