Congratulations! You have successfully made it through one full year of marriage. While every wedding anniversary calls for a celebration, the very first one is quite a momentous occasion. You are bound to see many new possibilities and a life of loving fun and adventure with your partner. And there is no better way to solidify those hopes and dreams for the future than with the best 1-year anniversary gift possible.

The Best 1-Year Anniversary Gift Ideas

Whether you want to go a traditional route or are looking for a modern take on the perfect 1-year anniversary gift, there are so many good ways to mark the occasion with the right gift. Take a look at a few good ideas about what to get for a first wedding anniversary gift below.

Traditional Anniversary Gift Ideas

Certain gifts have been the go-to picks for the first wedding anniversary for many years. For example, if you and your significant other have a faith-based marriage, traditionally, something like the King James Version Lux Leather Personalized Bible would be preferred. Personalized photo gifts are also something commonly gifted on the first anniversary, such as the Personalized Photo Arched Keepsake. Paper is a traditional anniversary gift for year one, so you may even consider gifting your partner a subscription to their favorite newspaper and a Personalized Mr. & Mrs. Coffee Mug Set for morning coffee together.

Modern Anniversary Gift Ideas

If you prefer to take a more contemporary approach to gifting on your first anniversary, the possibilities are endless. Some people like to keep gifting more romantic and sweet, which may mean a 3D Photo Engraved Heart Crystal Keepsake would be a good choice. If you want to take the route of gifting an item your spouse will use practically, a Personalized Vine Design Alder Wood Carving Board would be a great hosting choice. Copper Wind Chimes with Your Own Message can also be a modern gift for the spouse who enjoys gardening and being outdoors.

Cherishable Relationship Investment Gifts

Relationship investment gifts are those that make a statement because they will be valuable for many years to come. In other words, the gifts are an investment in your future as a married couple. For example, a personalized ornament means you intend to spend many holidays ahead with your spouse. Or, a Personalized Mr. & Mrs. Wood Plaque shows you are committed to dwelling in your happy home together for the foreseeable future.

One-Year Anniversary Gift for the Husband

Looking for the perfect gift to give your husband on the first anniversary of the day you said I do? Try something that personifies something you love about his personality like the Engraved Smooth Black Skeleton Pocket Watch for the guy who's always there for you at the right time. Or, consider something like a custom knife set if you love how he always cooks for you. You could also go with heartfelt gifts for him, such as a To My Husband Heart Acrylic Keepsake to remind him he is cherished and loved even when he is away at work.

Personalized 1-Year Anniversary Gift for the Wife

Shopping for the perfect gift for her to celebrate a year since your wedding day? Do a little thinking about what would mean something to her and do a good job of showing her how much this first year has meant to you as her partner with a thoughtful gift. She will no doubt feel loved and appreciated if you pick out a piece of Engraved Jewelry with a sentimental message or statement about how you feel. Consider including a quote from your wedding vows, a favorite lyric from your wedding song, or even the words from a meaningful poem. If she already has a lot of jewelry, a nice custom jewelry box that displays a picture of you two together or a sweet message could also be an appreciated token of affection.
