First Wedding Anniversary

By their first wedding anniversary, couples have come to love and understand each other quite deeply which is definitely a cause for celebrations. It is an opportunity to remember the vows they took not very long back and the love that brought them together.

Each partner hopes that the other expresses his or her love in a unique way on this day. It’s been a year and each knows the other’s needs, likes and dislikes so only a touch of creativity is required to make the day perfect.

• Accessories: these are a gift item that are not only quite personal but also serve a lot of functionality! It can serve as one of the most thoughtful gifts ever between couples. Accessories such as wallets, key chains, wallets, watches, ties etc. will ensure that you will be remembered every time your partner uses them. Many of these can be personalized with photographs or even names so that you are always on each other’s minds.

• Vacation: Surprise your partner with vacation plans on your first anniversary. The first year can be busy and after your honeymoon, this will be a great chance to just get away from it all. Choose a romantic location to show that your love for your partners is as strong as it was on the day you got married and that there is nothing else that you would rather do on a vacation than just be together.

Mothers are a source of strength and inspiration. Their unconditional love cannot be compared with any other emotion. Here are some great gifts to express your love and appreciation. These gifts will allow your mother to take some time off, enjoy and just be herself or just make life easy for her around the house.

Gift you mother or any other woman who has been the maternal figure for you with an amazing wellness package that will refresh and rejuvenate her. A salon and spa package will be highly appreciated.

• Memories: These can be gifted in very creative forms. There is nothing more beautiful than when you are able to express to your friend that his or her time in the office has created some unforgettable and beautiful memories. You can easily do this by making a collage of old photographs depicting good times or make a certificate signed by all that says how everyone will miss the person’s absence and appreciates his or her time with them.

• Artifacts:  There are many artifacts that can be personalized to remind the person of the wonderful friends he or she is leaving behind. One can either give a very expensive artifact with the entire office having contributed towards it or you can give it personally.

It is a very thoughtful gift especially if the person is moving to a new location.

• Gifts based on the individual: After working closely with somebody for some time, it is natural for both parties to know about each other’s likes or dislikes and your farewell gift can easily be quite unique after giving some thought to the receiver’s personality. Books that you know will be appreciated, travel accessories that will prove useful when he or she is on the move or any other item that is required for his or her hobby are very thoughtful gifts.
