1st Anniversary Gift Ideas??

Hi ladies,

Since you were all so helpful during my year of wedding planning, I'm sure you will be just as helpful one year later! :)

I'm racking my brain for 1st anniversary gift ideas and am stuck!

I bought my husband a watch for our wedding, and aside from that, he won't wear any jewelry, so that's out ;) I've thought about buying him tickets to an upcoming event (a twist on the traditional 'paper' route) but we already have sports tickets and there are no concerts that he's dying to see at this moment.

So ... as you can see ... I need some suggestions!

Thanks for your help!! :)

That's an awesome idea! Except we're doing that already ;) Soo ... this would be my gift to him, since we're planning our getaway together.

Ah. Yeah, we are just doing a big trip- no other gifts! A broadway show tickets? We are also doing a wine class at NY Vitners- you could give tickets to that?

Yeah, we're going away as well, but I also got my DH a ticket to a Jets game. We gave his dad the other ticket for father's day.

Lottery tickets (scratch offs) are fun in the paper category, also check xperiencedays.com - its a website that has a bunch of experiences that you could purchase - also look on groupon or livingsocial for some fun stuff!

I got him tickets to see The Lion King. He got us tickets to see Beauty & the Beast along w/ a getaway to Montreal.

Is there anything he's been saying he really wants in the past few months?

Im actually doing B-pics since I didn't do it before the wedding. I like the weekend away idea too!

Re: 1st Anniversary Gift Ideas??

I went the whole 'paper' route and did Bpics and made a photo book for him. Then also made him a 'love book' for this website Click me
I had made one for our wedding so I thought it was fitting to make one for our anniversary. Then we went out to dinner...
