Unique 1 Year Anniversary Gifts That Show Your Love
Updated by Lyndsay Cordell
The first year of marriage is filled with many exciting and new life experiences. In the last 365 days both of you have probably jetted off to a new place for your honeymoon. Perhaps you’ve moved into a new home together and are starting the nesting process. Whatever the last year has looked like, it’s time to commemorate it with a special gift. Celebrate your one year anniversary with a gift as special as your connection to each other with the help of Cratejoy.
Traditionally, first year couples give each other paper to celebrate their first anniversary. This can be anything from a hand-written card, a book, a love letter, or a paper ticket to a special event. The paper is said to symbolize a blank slate, a poetic reference to starting a new life together, almost as if you are writing your newly-joined life story. The threads in the paper is also said to symbolize the strength and connectivity between the couple.
For a more modern approach, couples have started gifting each other clocks instead of paper to represent their eternal love for each other. Gold is also considered the standard first-anniversary color so gold jewelry or watches are popular choices.
