First Anniversary Gift Ideas

Ideally, you'd like the gift to be unique and lasting, something that can be cherished for a long time to come. After all, you want your loved one to be able to admire this gift 50 years from now.

Here are my top 7 first anniversary gift ideas, decided upon after talking with every happily married person i know.

Buying a star is the most romantic first anniversary gift I've come across. At The International Star Registry, you can buy and name your very own star.

You get to dedicate a "star date" (the date of your anniversary, duh), and you receive a framed certificate with the stars name and coordinates. If you have a telescope, you can locate your celestial body and
admire it on cozy evenings with your loved one.

Buying a star is a great way to memorialize your relationship for, well, all eternity if you think about it. After all, we are all made from star dust.

If you own your own property, buying and planting a tree together is a relatively inexpensive way to memorialize your first anniversary.

Pick out your partner's favorite tree, and plant it together.

When you're old and gray, you can scratch your initials into it, and your great grand kids can put up a tire swing.

A quality watch is a good gift for the first anniversary. This way you're partner will have something nice to measure all those looooong years you're gonna spend together.

Since Amazon tends to be 10%-20% cheaper than at the mall, I tend to check out what they have before looking anywhere else.

This watch, by Citizen is an excellent time piece for the price.

If you're buying for your wife consider getting her a tasteful necklace that will complement her wedding ring.

If you're buying for your husband, a nice tie clip or pair of cuff links will make him feel like a million bucks.

After a late night on a seemingly endless quest for creative first anniversary gift ideas, i came across this gem. I mean, come on, look at it.

Is there a better way to celebrate your first anniversary than plastering your faces on the first man and woman? Well, probably... But, this is certainly the most adorable.

It turns out the website MyDaVinci has a plethora of interesting products you can personalize.

This little thing is amazing. It is a high quality, portable video recording device.

With this baby, you'll be able to capture all those embarrassing memories you'd rather forget. You can record up to 60 minutes, and then plug it straight into your computer and wallah.

I'm not even going to mention the more risque possibilities of this baby.

Oh geez... I just did.
