What did you get your H for your first wedding anniversary?

Re: 1st anniversary Gift

  • Tradition is to give a paper gift for the first anniversary.  Our gift to each other was a trip to the Bahamas.  The tickets and hotel reservations were "paper".

  • Nothing I can remember, except we took a trip to Traverse City (where we had our honeymoon). 

     

  • We haven't really exchanged gifts, except for cards.

    But if you wanted to stick to traditional paper you could do tickets to a game or show.  

  • We usually do vacations or just go out for a nice dinner instead of exchanging gifts.
  • We decided not to do anniversary gifts. We will just save the money and go away for the night. We went to a bed and breakfast (The Shack) for our first anniversary.

    Adding a Burden
  • We got each other gifts, but I don't remember.  That is kind of sad because I'm sure it was something expensive, probably electronic.  Now that it has been six years, we don't really do gifts anymore, but go on a trip to somewhere we have never been together before.  Our first year was New York City.

    We also try to take a trip. The first year, we just did one night at a small B&B on Mackinac Island - it was all we could afford, but it was great!

  • We spent the night in a B&B in Saugtuck and went wine tasting. He hates B&BS but it had a private hot tub on the patio, so I think that made up for it.

    For a gift, I just gave him a mouse pad with pics from our honeymoon. He gave me one of the premade scrapbooks from Hallmark to put wedding pictures in.

  • He got me a dozen roses and I got him (us) a 1 1/2 hour soak at Oasis Hot Tubs. It was nice and relaxing since we our anniversary is at the beginning of Dec.

  • I got him a watch.  I think he got me a gift certificate for a pedicure?  Not sure.  We took a trip that week too.  Maybe Florida?

  • We alternate planning surprise weekends for the other.  That year, he went golfing with my Dad-- who then dropped him off downtown and we had dinner at Notos (where we had our reception the year before) and a night at the Amway.
