What is a good first anniversary gift for your wife?

Answer 1

As the traditional first anniversary gift is paper, write a love letter or poem on handmade paper and frame it. If your handwriting isn't great, type it up in Word but sign it yourself. Paste, draw or insert some heart images. She will love that you put so much personal effort into your gift.

Answer 2

Don't let the small number fool you, one year anniversaries are extremely important, as it is the very first annual celebration of your marriage. Typical gifts like jewelry are good, but what most women want is quality time with their husbands doing something that is romantic, relaxing and fun. Take her out of the everyday hustle and bustle to an atmosphere that will rekindle the passion and intimacy you had as a newlywed couple.

• Consider a trip to a small quaint beach town if it is summer, or a cozy cabin with a big fireplace in a small mountain village if it is winter.
• Even if you only have one day to spare, you can do something like have a professional take you out on a sunset sailboat ride, or book a guided horseback riding session through country trails, followed by a nice dinner.
• Even if you are on a budget, you can plan and arrange your own activites based on these ideas. Any romantic quality time with thought and creativity put into it will be greatly appeciated.

While material gifts can be an afterthought, make sure you don't forget to get her a card. The way to a woman's heart is through a thoughtful card. If you really want to impress her don't just settle for a store bought paper card written by some stranger.

Answer 3

Your choice of first anniversary gift will depend on which way you want to go. Paper is the traditional symbol for a first anniversary gift. If you prefer gemstones then fresh water pearls are the gem for a first anniversary, and if you want to include flowers, then you need Pansies.
