1st Anniversary Gifts

First Anniversary Gift IdeasTRADITIONAL THEME : Paper
You could gift a book, a poster, or other stationary, but we would recommend our origami themed jewellery. Paper Plane Cuff-links for him, and a matching paper plane necklace for her. Origami Jewellery  is perfect, you can wear it everyday, and it is long lasting, quirky and memorable - a great twist on the Paper theme.
MODERN THEME : Clocks
Etsy and Notonthehighstreet.com have a great selection of modern wall clocks, which represent the time you have spent together.
GEMSTONE : Peridot
The Peridot is also the birthstone for August, so it would be a doubly fantastic gift for August born, August married brides! The Peridot, is such a beautiful colour, fresh and green - just like you marriage after a year!
