Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.

Celebrating your very first wedding anniversary is an exciting time in your life. It shows that you can do the walk of love with ease. But choosing the perfect first wedding anniversary gift for her can be somewhat daunting. You want a gift which is meaningful, something special which says “I love you so very much”. A gift which tugs at the heartstrings and makes her smile as wide as she did on your wedding day. Traditionally first wedding anniversary gifts were associated with paper. The fragile symbol of paper represented the delicate nature of the new relationship and was deemed a token of good luck. Although anniversary gifts are easy to choose if you wish to stick to tradition, your wife may appreciate something which is a little different to the norm. So what do you choose? You want this gift to be as special as this special milestone in your lives.

Holiday or honeymoon:

Perchance the cost of your wedding did not allow for the luxury of a honeymoon and it was put on hold. Well now is the time to plan that romantic get-away your wife will remember for the rest of her life. This doesn’t need to cost a fortune, a romantic weekend away in a quality hotel will be well appreciated. Do some research online to ensure that the hotel you choose has excellent reviews, fine dining and quality service. Even hiring a house-boat for the weekend will be a wonderful treat. Book ahead and have a bottle of champagne, wine goblets, a bouquet of pretty flowers and a box of chocolates awaiting your arrival. Pack a pampering gift basket filled to brim with scented massage oils, candles and scented soaps and she be swooning at your very feet.

Hot air balloon ride with a champagne breakfast:

As long as your wife is not scared of heights, a hot air balloon ride will have her in seventh heaven. Many hot air balloon companies have package deals which include a champagne breakfast. This is so romantic and such a unique first wedding anniversary gift for the woman you adore. If possible, plan a hot air balloon ride over the venue where you were married. This will tug at the heart strings and show her just how much you value your marriage.

Sailing adventure:

Go on a ‘bare boat’ cruise. Often times you can hire a yacht which you skipper yourself. Sail around the lake and enjoy quality romantic days and nights in the comfort of a sailing boat with all the conveniences you need.
