To ask what you bought/received for first wedding anniversary?

[Boooooot]

It’s paper isn’t it?

If like to do something traditional like that but a bit stumped, especially with it being so close to Christmas I don’t want to spend too much!

what did you buy/receive for your first anniversary?

We received a framed print of the lyrics to our first dance song.

DH and I don't tend to do that sort of gift to each other though as some years would end up being things we didn't really want just for the sake of tradition.

Tickets. Printed out the etickets to the National Dog Show so they were on paper and went to that.

Nothing, I don't really understand anniversary gifts, we have enough stuff flying around our house as it is!

DH and I agreed that we wouldn't get stressed about gift giving on anniversaries, so we go out for a meal instead. It makes life so much easier.

I bet you can find a book or a print.

I bought my husband a framed print that says “You can’t blame gravity for falling in love”

I don’t think we will do tradition every year, just for our first one it would be nice. Going out for a meal would be ideal but we can’t get a babysitter unfortunately!

A card. Not done anything for the next 12 either neither has my sister or parents for theirs. We might get a take away that's it. No stress it's great x

Paper. So what about tickets or vouchers. Nice meal. Theatre

Tickets for a comedy show. Think it’s been one of the easier years to be honest!

I joked that I’d get my husband divorce papers on our first year anniversary which is in April lol

I think tickets are a good idea, I like the other idea that someone else has mentioned about frames first dance lyrics!

We didn’t have a first dance haha!

Hmm will put my thinking hat on. Thankyou for the suggestions.

I bought DH a new TV so he could watch his favourite sport...I spent the day in hospital with my terminally ill father.

I bought a really nice hardcover book for DH and wrote a message inside.

I honestly can't remember what I bought DH, but he got me a little box with rolls of paper telling me reasons he loved me. It was probably from Not on the High Street, as it's fancy paper!

He drew me an amazing picture which I have framed and put up on the wall

I received a first edition of one of my absolute favourite books.

I gave my husband a vinyl player, as I was completely oblivious to the tradition of themed gifts...

A really good caricature of us

DH bought me a large beautiful canvas of a tropical beach close to us. It still hangs in our stairwell.

I got my husband a print of the stars/sky above the venue at the time we had our first dance

Drawing of where we got married

My husband made me some paper flowers, and I wrote him a poem, had it typed and gave it to him in a frame.

My husband isn't into trinkety/ keepsake things like song lyrics etc so I went outside the box and bought him paper aeroplane cufflinks which are practical and also a nod to the 'paper' aspect! He liked them :)

Gig tickets here too

Dh and I bought each other the same thing unknowingly!
It was a paper book that you wrote on each year on your wedding anniversary.

We have a £5 budget and HAVE to buy traditional...

1st anniversary I made very NSFW scratch cards for him and he wrote me a love letter (very unlike him thing to do).
