Anniversary Gifts for Her: 60 Thoughtful Ideas

For your first wedding anniversary, it’s traditional to give a gift made from paper. A modern gift that is really thoughtful is to create a piece of art using pictures from your wedding day. We love this heart-shaped collage that is both special and not too expensive (after all it’s only one year since you paid for a wedding!). Buy here.

Perhaps you’d prefer something without your own face on it, so another romantic option would be to choose a cool print for your house showing the destination of your honeymoon or wedding. Buy here.
