Claire_lou has just got me thinking about my 1st anniversary.

Those that are recently married or have already has a 1st anniversary, what are you doing/did you do/what gifts did you buy eachother etc?

I have until August but dont want to do my usual and run around trying to sort something the day before.

Any ideas welcome!

    On the paper theme...

    I am making Mr C a paper cut out in a floating frame (a la Paper Panda but a fraction of the cost!) just need to decide on the words!!

    I am also writing a traditional love letter on nice paper type stuffs.

    I thought about a FYEO type shoot and giving him the photos but alas was too pricey...

    Oh an a card!

    I'm giving the Mr Moo the Beautiful Groom journal that I was meant to finish and give him on our wedding day before I lost it. It has since turned up..

    Oooo shall be watching this one with interest ours is in a couple of weeks. I know OH is getting me tickets (his ability to keep a secret is worse than c**p). I too was thinking about a traditional love letter. Was thinking of possibly getting the words to our first dance printed up large and in a contemporary style to frame - but not entirely sure how to go about it.

    Ours is in April but we have visitors galore here this month and next, then we go to Koh Samui on our honeymoon over Easter so I had to get it sorted now.

    As it's paper, I have started to pull together a scrap book of our first year in pictures. We've had such an eventful year that I have lots to put in it which means it is taking ages! I've also had Hs favourite wedding photo put on to a large canvas. I've booked a meal out at our favourite restaurant here at the end of March so that my parents will be able to babysit E for us. Our actual anniversary is on a Sunday which is a working day here so I guess I'll be spending it alone with E!

    I've been wracking my brains over this one! i think i'm going to get him a personalised loo roll! h always jokes that his toilet time is his quiet time, and in the best mans speech at our wedding there was a whole slide (the speech was powerpoint) about how he loves the toilet.

    gosh, everyone else is doing these lovely sentimental gifts and i'm giving my man sh1t tickets!!

    Hey, I was looking for a birthday present for my boyfriend to be very original and inexpensive. Imagine that I found something like this under 10 British Pounds. You can have as a gift a real internet domain! You get a certificate with a tailored domain according your own suggestions (already paid for one year and on the certificate it is written that this domain is a gift from whom and for whom and for what reason (eg. their proposition was “stevemy.space” as for me ;-)) but it may be due to graduation or your first date ;-)) or anything). You can see for yourself - Here

    Congrats on your day.

    With regards a 1st anniversary gift idea i would certainly recommend Cordelia's House Of Treasures. They are an online gift shop that sells presents from British brands and artisans. They have a lovely selection as well as a wedding gifts section. These include gifts to say thank you for helping on the big day for bridesmaids etc.

    It's worth having a look especially for anniversary and the wedding present

    Since it's a paper wedding the gifts made of paper would work perfectly. I stumbled upon @miniyoudolls profile on Instagram while I was looking for something unique for my sister’s anniversary. The artist creates personalized movable paper dolls. And they really look alike!!! She also has a shop on Etsy. Here is the link to her shop Etsy Personalized Paper Dolls I literally recommend it to all my friends because by far it's my favorite gift I have ever given anyone. The attention to detail on individual features was excellent and the seller was so easy to deal with. I've also added it to the "wedding day survival box" I'm making for my guy on our wedding day.
