So you're celebrating a year of marriage, congrats!! I hope you've got a bottle of bubbly ready because that is a *big* deal!! And since giving your partner an on-theme anniversary gift is a great way to celebrate, I'm here to ensure that you don't stress over finding the perfect present. Tradition says the first anniversary gift is (drumroll...) paper-themed—and we've got a ton of cute gift recs for ya below that fit the theme perfectly.
The good news? The paper gift theme is really up to your interpretation. You can go with a print of the lyrics to your wedding song to make your partner feel all mushy. Or a custom book expressing how much you love them if you want to be even more romantic. But! If the traditional first-anniversary paper gift theme doesn't suit your vibe, you should know there are alternative modern first-anniversary gift theme options, too! The modern themes for a one-year anniversary are clocks, gold, and two flowers: orange blossoms or pansies. We put a couple options for those on this list, too, just in case they fit your S.O. better.
Our top picks for the best paper anniversary gift ideas in 2023:
The trick to giving the perfect gift is making it personal, and the gift ideas below will guide you as you pick something out. But, just in case you're totally out of luck, another gift idea: a paper gift card to their favorite store. Trust, it totally counts!!
