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.
Here are some gorgeous Pinatas that would be perfect to make your own anniversary time capsule;
