One Year Anniversary

It's one year on from your wedding day and you can't quite believe how quickly the time has gone! I'm sure it's been a lovely year of exploring married life together. But what to get your other half for an anniversary gift? As I'm sure you all know one year is paper, in the same way that 50 years is gold. I think it's lovely to stick with this theme of paper and try to get a gift which encompasses this.

There are a number of ways to use paper in your gift (and not just the wrapping!)...

Origami 

I just adore the idea of making two origami people, or a love heart.

Cut outs

From wonderfully simple to intricately detailed these cut outs look fab. 

Frame some paper art

This really is quite broad. Anything from people made from paper again to lots of little love hearts cut out.

Pack of cards

Now bear with me.. This idea is wonderful. Take a pack of cards and punch holes in each one. Now take each card and write something different on each. This could be 52 reasons why you love them, 52 favourite memories, 52 photographs.... Tie them together with ribbon or similar and voila!

Joke gifts

I must admit I can see this humour in toilet roll... But perhaps have a back up real present too.

So find yourself a local artist or get stuck in a have a go at making your own gift! I personally love handmade presents; there is so much thought that gone into them it gives them greater meaning.
