1 Year Anniversary Gift Ideas

1 year anniversary gift ideas are traditionally made from paper, we came across this sweet idea and had to share it with you.

Pinatas are popular in Mexico, they are made of paper or straw and filled with sweets and candy to celebrate a special occasion. The pinata is then hung up high and everyone tries to break it with sticks to get the treasure.

But rather than breaking up your pinata how about using it as your very own anniversary time capsule? There is a section on the pinata that you use to fill it normally with candy but instead fill it with keepsakes from your 1st year together. You could have; photos, tickets from shows you have been to, little gifts and souvenirs that remind you of important events in your year together.

You can then choose when you are going to open it, it is your very own time capsule! Will it be your 2nd wedding anniversary, or your 25th? The longer you can leave it the more fun it will be when you open it.

You could even add to it each year, just imagine what 50 years of photographs will look like when you eventually open it.

Or rather than using it as a time capsule you could use your pinata as your gift box and fill it with all of their favorite things, which could be candy or tickets for an amazing day out.

Pinatas are not just for children, we have found some that you would be happy to have as your first anniversary gift and also others that you could save for your 25th, 30th and even 50th!
