Last week when I posted about my first anniversary, I received some great emails and comments about more first anniversary gift ideas. In case you don't read blog comments, I wanted to share the links with you all!
I mentioned the handmade journal my husband bought for me and here are some other great ideas:
Hide-a-HeartI love this idea! When my husband went to Africa for two weeks (read about it here, here, and here) I tucked little notes into his luggage-his toiletry bag, inside the pockets of his clothing, in his gloves, just about anywhere he would find one. He told me those little notes really got him through the tough days when he was sick and could barely make it up the mountain. These Hide-a-Hearts would have been another cool thing I could have wrapped up and hidden in his luggage. This would also be a great gift to give to your spouse with a handwritten note and it could start a trend for all the years to come of passing it back and forth!
Heidi's Heavenly CookiesYou could get your spouse a box of these bad boys and include a nice love letter about the dozens of ways he makes you happy!
Handmade Paper cuts fromMade by JuleneWhat a great idea (thanks to Meredith for sending it my way)! One of my previous brides had a personalized paper cut made for her husband for their first anniversary. The paper cut included lyrics from their first song-how romantic! Check out Made by Julene for more info!
Some other ideas:Custom photo albumMaybe you could use your one anniversary as the time to finally get all your photos organized and into an album (I STILL have not done this!) or better yet you could spice things up by having a boudoir photo shoot and making a sexy album for your hubby!
Tickets to "fill-in-the-blank"Your one year anniversary would be a great time to embark on a new hobby together. Maybe give tickets for your first local play together, an invitation to a cooking class, a gift certificate for dance lessons together, or a menu from a local wine bar that hosts weekly wine tastings (with the promise to go!).
All these ideas make me want to go shopping for my next year anniversary gifts (which is cotton by the way). Better slow down!
