Modern & Traditional One-Year Anniversary Gifts

Each wedding anniversary year has a traditional gift, flowers, colors, and gemstone that historically go hand-in-hand with the celebration of your love.

These traditional items date back to the medieval period and were gifted for good fortune and prosperity of your continued marriage.

However, opinions regarding traditional anniversary gifts have changed with our modern and contemporary times.

Whether you’re a traditionalist or a modernist, here are some anniversary gifts that are sure to endure one year and beyond.

TRADITIONAL: PAPER

Paper is the traditional one-year anniversary gift. Symbolizing your new lift together as a blank slate consider:

• Cookbooks

• Custom art of your favorite couple photo

• A completed scrapbook of your life together until now with blank pages to fill in as you grow together.

MODERN: TIME PIECES

A more modern option to paper is to gift a time piece. Representing your time together and your eternal love consider:

• Clock for your shared space

• Custom, engraved watches

• Time stamped photo of your vows
