and a clock is the modern first wedding anniversary gift idea, so either of these themes could be used as a suitable cover for the journals.

Genealogy gift ideas are another paper themed first anniversary gift idea that is unique and that are usually very much appreciated. There are a number of books or kits available for uniting the couple onto a new family genealogy tree. A family tree book is a sentimental gift idea as well is a kit for tracing their history. Or a poster or print of a genealogy tree can be purchased, it can then have the history filled in by the couple, and be put on permanent display within their home. Another nice genealogy gift is a poster or plaque that highlights the history behind their now shared name or one that highlights the history behind both of their birth names. Coat of Arm Plaque is another very nice genealogical gift idea.

A cute paper gift idea is a personalized Lovopoly game. Based on the traditional monopoly game this one comes decorated in a personalized theme complete with the couples personal memories and pictures included in the game. This and other many other personalized first year wedding anniversary gifts can be easily found and purchased online. Just do a Google search.

Gift certificates are always appreciated and come in a wide variety of themes such as to a favorite restaurant, favorite coffee shop, sports event, theater, movie or play. A gift card
to a neighborhood department or grocery store is always a useful gift item for a couple in their early years of marriage to receive.

An always romantic gift is a bottle of champagne or wine decorated with a large satin bow, or gift wrapped in a beautiful decorator box, and of course accompanied by two crystal wine goblets.

Don't forget that the packaging of your gift can add tremendously to the enjoyment of its giving. Be creative in your use of ribbons, wrapping, and add ons. Attaching a small gift, envelope, or flower to the outside of the main present can greatly enhance its attractiveness. Other times the packaging itself can be a gift as with baskets, jewelry or other wooden or leather boxes, decorative metal tins, trunks or suitcases. Be imaginative. Sometimes keeping the packaging and the gift entwined adds an amusing touch to the gift. For example perhaps a gift certificate for a local travel agency might be wrapped in a travel bag and displayed with a big red bow wrapped around it. Or the gift could be a stock portfolio within a briefcase or a check within a piggy bank or coffee canister. You choose the theme for your gift, such as Paper for that special first wedding anniversary that you have been shopping for, have fun.
