When you have already been together with someone for a year, you get a definite feel for what they like and what they are about. For your first year anniversary, you can choose from any number of quirky gift options that will dazzle them and create fond memories for the future of your relationship. Think about some of these gift options for your anniversary and see how well you can build on them in the future.
Anniversary Clocks
These clocks can be a particularly good option for couples who want to decorate their walls. The clocks can come with a number of different quotes and images, and couples will often choose a specific date to add at the clock's face. Get creative with the designs and see what varieties you can choose to make the most difference in your decor.
Couple's Throw Quilt
If you are interested in keeping the quilt somewhere more visible, it can be a good idea to invest in a throw quilt. Like the couple's photo blanket, the quilt can be customized in a broad variety of different ways. If you are not interested in choosing a photo for the quilt's surface, you can work with any number of other designs.
Photo Blankets
Taking the time to make your own photo blanket will pay off when it’s time to surprise your significant other. Upload pictures from your desktop, or social media sites, to create the ultimate memory blanket. Select pictures of memories from the past year so you’ll always treasure the first year you spent getting to know each other. There is no better way to celebrate such a special time in your relationship than a customized blanket made specifically for your romantic partner.
Destination Maps
Are you and your significant other interested in traveling? Getting a destination map for the wall can be an extremely thoughtful gift. You can keep pins in the places that you have visited and use different colored ones for the lands you still want to travel to. Keep it around for years to come and build memories of travel and exploration.
Plush Robes
If you and your partner are more the stay at home type, it can be much more comfortable for you to invest in matching plush robes. There are all types of materials for you to consider for your robes, along with all types of color combinations and trim styles that can help you achieve the desired aesthetic on a nice day.
Couple's Throw Pillows
Couple throw pillows, like throw quilts, can be an attractive addition to the living room. Because of their variety and versatility, it can be easy for couples to choose the exact design they want for their pillow. Think about an important date or pattern that you can set on the pillow to represent your relationship, and plan accordingly for the decorations.
Customized Doormats
Choosing a custom doormat that can suit the occasion is also an ideal anniversary gift. This one can be an especially good marker if you are planning on moving in together. Think about where you would want this doormat set, and don't forget to think about indoor doormats either. You can have a reminder of your special date for yourselves or for the world.
Birthstone Jewelry
One of the most popular items that you can get for your significant other is a piece of birthstone jewelry. These are especially thoughtful gifts because they can be chosen as desired. Individuals can wear necklaces, rings, and bracelets with their personal birthstones, and always think of their significant other when they have the gift. It can be perfect for those who love to enhance their personal style.
Anniversary Signage
Decorative signage can be a great way to spice up the area inside and outside your home. You can put any number of clever and cute sayings on an attractive bit of signage and have it present on a wall. Think of something that is meaningful to you both and see how it can decorate a section as desired.
Couple's Glassware
Decorative and custom glassware can be another excellent option as a gift. Because of the way the glassware can be used in the future, you can always have a reminder for yourself and others. Choose a glassware type that you use regularly or think about something that you can have as a display piece in a cabinet.
If you like any of these gifts, think about how you can use them to tie into future ones. Every anniversary afterwards can be just as fun to shop for, and planning ahead can allow you to dazzle your significant other for years to come.
