Stumped on what a paper, wood, or copper gift looks like? Don’t fret; we’ve rounded up some of our favorite anniversary presents perfect for each year you are celebrating.

1st Anniversary

Traditional: Paper 
The traditional first anniversary gift has always been paper — and if you think outside of the box, the possibilities are endless.

• A nice moleskine notebook or journal is a lovely, thoughtful way to encourage your partner’s creativity. 
• A nice 12-month or 17-month planner is perfect for your Type-A spouse.
• Step up your coffee table game with a new coffee table book; it’s easy to find one that fits your love’s personality.
• Designer shoes. It may not seem like shoes fit the theme, but hear us out — shoes come in a cardboard box! Sounds like a win-win.
• Tickets to an event. Look for an upcoming concert, play, or sporting event to take your love.
