First year anniversary is suppose to be a paper gift I believe. How about a nice hand written poem about the two of you. Explain how you met, things you have experienced together, your hopes dreams etc. Then place in a nice frame and hang it up for everyone to witness. I’m certain it would mean more than if you spent a million bucks on him as it would be so personal. We just celebrated our first a couple of months ago and went to a nice hotel for a couple of days, took in some theatre, had a couple of nice meals and just overall enjoyed each others company. Congrats and best of luck.

I have a journal I started on our honeymoon. I wrote about our wedding day and honeymoon, then every year I wrote a page about what we did for our anniversaries. I plan on giving it to him on our 20th anniversary. We are at 16 years now.
You can do something like that and add pictures or items. I know it’s hard to remember the day a year later. And then tell him you will add to it every year on your anniversary.

How about something that is useful - not junk - but can be personalized with a special message about how much you love him?

Here is a link to a site with lots of unique gifts - and most they will embroider or engrave with a message you specify. THey have things like watches, cufflinks, icebuckets, barware, robes, blankets, wallets, wooden plaques and more. They even have underwear for men & women that they will personalize.

Check it out - maybe you’ll get some ideas.

Ask him which photo from your wedding he likes most and have a custom painting from it. Anything meaningful for him that can be remembered forever! I suggested this site for a friend of mine (he wanted to give his wife a special gift) and he was very excited about it. The website is http://www.paintyourlife.com/galleries/wedding-portraits.asp Of course there are plenty ideas to do, like a portrait when he was a child… the possibilities are endless!

I got my partner a locket and I also got one for myself. I put a picture of me in their locket and a picuture of us together. In mine I put a picture of them and a picture of us together. It’s a way to always have a picture of each other close to your heart and it’s something you can look at everytime you think of them. It’s always with you.
