You’ve almost made it to your first wedding anniversary, and it’s almost time to celebrate with your spouse. You want to buy a present, but you’re not sure what to buy. If your mate is somewhat of a traditionalist, your spouse will be looking for a paper gift. Paper is the gift given to celebrate a married couple’s first wedding anniversary. Below is a list of gift ideas that may please your loved one.

1. A book. If your mate is a bibliophile, he or she may appreciate owning the romance novel best seller from the year that you wed or the present romance novel best seller. If your spouse collects antique books, you can try to find a book published fifty years ago on your wedding day. Place a card inside of it that reads, “I look forward to fifty plus more years of loving you,” or “I look forward to growing old with you.”

2. A portrait. You can hire a local artist or an art student to turn your favorite photo into a portrait. Depending on your spouse’s personality and tastes, the artist might create a watercolor or oil painting copy of the photo or a caricature painting. Another idea is to have a paint-by-number portrait created, so you and your spouse can paint the portrait together.

3. Tickets. Take your spouse to a concert, a play, or a sporting event. Airplane tickets to your spouse’s dream location would really put a smile on your mate’s face. Of course, you have to put the tickets in a box and wrap the box. The paper ticket is the gift; the rest is just a bonus!

Have a fantastic first anniversary!
