It all started with that first glance, then the first date, and a kiss, now it's been almost a year since you two tied the knot. My how time flies when you're in love! The first wedding anniversary is typically celebrated by a couple in a more intimate manner than subsequent anniversaries. Commonly a lovely evening at a nice restaurant or even a weekend get-away at a rather romantic place.
This is a really important decision because your first anniversary gift sets the stage for future presents. You might even decide to zero in on paper or clocks, because they are the suggested gifts for first anniversaries from the traditional and modern lists. Traditionally, 1st anniversary gifts are paper themed. That may sound boring initially, but sprinkle a little imagination on the idea, and you can think up some rather thoughtful and clever paper anniversary gift ideas. The modern anniversary gift theme is Clocks which when interpreted creatively encompasses a wide variety of possibilities.
Doin' your own thing? All you have to do is consider your spouses likes, dislikes, or even build off of outstanding events that have occurred over the last year and use your best judgement. Brainstorming will help you come up with several anniversary gift ideas that are excellent possibilities, then narrow it down to that perfect anniversary present.

I just realised that my parents have a very similar clock to the one pictured here! It must have been anniversary related, I'll be sure to ask.

A wedding dress, tuxedo or bouquet sketched is a great first year anniversary gift to frame. Our artist is English and lives in the South of France. This has been a great gift idea from hubbies on the first year anniversary. www.MyDreamlines.com
An anniversary sundial is a good idea too - it is cooler than just getting a clock! My girlfriend got one that sits on her windowsill and makes rainbows in the room whenever the sun shines!
My anniversary is coming up soon -- not the first, but every celebration is an important one! Nice ideas for gifts!
