How about these cute paper anniversary gifts?

Choosing the Gift

It is all very well sticking with paper but it is also a good idea to think about what your other half likes to do and likes! And can you imagine the delight if you can combine the two?

Ideas to get you started are;

• Tickets to see their favorite group or sport.
• A book on something you know they will love.
• If they love romance then how about a photo of the two of you, or a print out of all of your first emails, or text messages? Go on, I bet you have kept lots! And now you know why!

One Year Anniversary Gift for Girlfriends

A girlfriend is special. You have been together for a year and it is just fitting that you give her a gift to show her how much she means to you.

Make the gift wonderful and not quite ordinary. You don't really have to buy her an expensive gift. Spending a day with her could prove to be a greater gift. There is something so fun about spending a day with just the two of you doing what you both love to do. A day of celebrations.

Here are some suggestions for a one year anniversary gifts for your girlfriend.

• A Romantic Dinner. If you love to dine in style you could make a reservation at a fine dining restaurant in advance to ensure a good table. Choose a restaurant that has live soft-music, candle-lights and a romantic ambiance. This would be the kind of restaurant that you might expect to celebrate your 1st anniversary in but it doesn't have to be that way, go for a restaurant that makes you feel at ease not one that you spend the whole night wishing you were somewhere else! You can add to the romantic atmosphere by giving her a bouquet of her favorite flowers. You could even have a single stem waiting for her at the table.

• Books to read. Give her a bunch of books all from her favorite authors. Look at her bookshelf and see what type of books she goes for or choose a travel book of a place that you both want to go. You could add a note to the front cover saying one day you would love to take her there to celebrate your anniversary.

• Romantic Road Trip. Of course if you can afford more than just the travel book you could surprise your girlfriend with tickets for two for a short vacation. You can choose to go on a weekend road trip to places she has never visited. Cook for her. Be the man! Cook a special dinner for your girlfriend. Prepare your space for a romantic dinner for two. Cook her favorite dish. If you don't know how, learn to cook the dish. This will impress your girlfriend more. Have fun!

Anniversary Flowers are always appreciated and most girlfriends would also love chocolates as well! Or whatever their favorite candy is!

One Year Anniversary Gifts for Boyfriends

When choosing a gift for your boyfriend you want to find one that hits the right balance between something that they would love and a gift that shows your love. But not in a big way, unless your boyfriend loves romance.

Here are some one year anniversary gift ideas for a boyfriend.

• Cook for him. We all know that for most guys food is quite an important part of their day! Cooking a great meal or cheating and ordering the best takeaway would be a great start to your anniversary celebrations! You could even add the paper theme by serving on paper plates and having your very own picnic.

• Ball! Football, rugby, basketball, tennis, golf, bowling…your boyfriend most likely plays one kind of sports. A thoughtful gift is something related to his sports. If he plays golf, you can give him a glove or a box of golf balls. If he plays tennis, why not give him a tennis racket. If he is into watching football, baseball or basketball, why not buy him a season pass for the particular sport? Just be prepared to lose him most weekends while he goes to the game! Or you could always join him!

• Techie Gadgets are always a good standard gift for a guy but they can be expensive so make sure it is something that you know they will want.

In the end, one year anniversary gifts for boyfriends and girlfriends can come in any form and price range but the gift of love and genuine care tops them all. Have a Happy Anniversary!
