Every anniversary is a new milestone, but there is something inherently special about the first one. The first anniversary also seems to have arrived too soon. Mostly because you spend the first few months adjusting to the new changes, understanding the likes and dislikes of your partner as well as getting to know his family.
All of this can sometimes be too overwhelming, especially if you haven’t spent much time with your partner before marrying them. However, you need to understand that the same is true for your better half as well. He/she may also be going through the same anxiety and worry. That’s why it is really important that you two celebrate your first anniversary in the best way possible.
Now, when we say celebrate, we do not just mean a candlelight dinner and some slow dance. We also mean a great surprise gift. Gifts are the best way to express your love and thank your partner for his/her support. However, we understand that coming up with an anniversary gift idea is not as simple as it looks.
So, to help you out, here is a list of some of our unique gift ideas that may make your first-anniversary special:
1. Wedding Bobbleheads
Our first choice for special anniversary gifts is personalised wedding bobbleheads. A bobblehead is a funny-looking miniature doll of a person or animal with an oversized head, attached to the body with a spring. Because of the spring, the head ‘bobbles’ every time it is touched or lightly tapped.
Bobbleheads are currently very popular and as a result, quite affordable. Many online stores such as LuckyBobblehead specialise in making wedding bobbleheads. Such gifts allow you to recreate the beautiful moments of your wedding day in a funny and unique manner. Apart from gifting them to your partner, you can also use wedding bobbleheads as a cake topper. Either way, your partner is going to be filled with joy and happiness.
2. Personalised Jewellery
You started this beautiful journey by exchanging rings. So, it’s only fair to celebrate it with some more jewellery. Personalised jewellery is a great gift for any occasion, especially for females. You can get them a necklace that spells out their name or a bracelet with your wedding date engraved on it. For males, a ring with both partners’ initials is also a good idea. Personalised jewellery comes in all shapes and sizes, so you can pick one according to your budget and your partner’s taste. Consider something with a diamond for your special loved one; shopping at a diamond store will give you various options to pick from, and you’ll be guaranteed that you’re buying a ring of the highest quality. A first anniversary is a special one that should be celebrated in style, so don’t hold back and give your partner a gift that they’ll remember forever.
You can also choose to write one of your wedding vows on a piece of jewellery and gift it to them! Feel free to improvise.
3. Matching Shirts
Another great way to express your love is to get a pair of matching shirts. You can get the evergreen ‘He is mine/she is mine’ combo or buy a pair of simple white t-shirts and decorate them with your handprints yourself. If you want to get more creative, you can also try drawing your wedding portrait. However, do this only when you are 100% sure of your sketching skills. Otherwise, feel free to take help from an expert.
4. Plan a Vacation
Last but not the least, planning a surprise vacation can also be a great idea. You can arrange a trip to someplace your partner has always been wanting to go. Alternatively, you can also revisit your honeymoon destination to relive some romantic memories. This will allow you both to spend some quality time together.
Conclusion
We hope that these ideas help you make your first anniversary special. However, remember that you know your partner better. So, instead of silently following our steps, feel free to put in some extra effort and give these gifts a little personal touch.
