20 First Anniversary Gift Ideas That Are So Much Better Than Boring Paper

Leave the real flowers for another time and get these paper flowers instead. Add a touch of your own creativity by arranging the flowers in a special display.

You’ve made it through the first year and The Couple’s Activity Book will give you so many fun things to do into year two.

With UNO: Dare, you can jazz up game night with the same game you’ve always played but with a fun twist. This gift is especially fun if you’re on a budget and you just want something small but fun.

Put this Abstract Woman’s Body Shape Wall Decor in a frame to give as a gift for a hint of sexiness in your home. If you’d rather have a piece of art with a male outline, Amazon has plenty of those as well.

Old-school letter writing is not dead! Gift your S.O. with this super chic stationery set so they can send letters to their friends and family — or write love letters to you! These can be customized with their name for an extra special touch and come packaged in a box with accompanying envelopes.

If your S.O. loves to plan, give them this planner — especially if your first anniversary falls at the end of the year or the beginning of a new year.

No list would be complete without a few best-selling Cravings items. While Chrissy Teigen has expanded her empire into robes and accessories, the fan favorites continue to be her cookbooks. Cravings: Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat is the one that started it all. From breakfast, lunch, and dinner, every recipe is intended for families and includes tons of meals that kiddos will enjoy too. Everything from arugula spaghetti to fried chicken and bacon cornbread — you’ve got to try it all! One pleasantly surprised reviewer and experienced home cook said, “I was a little skeptical since it’s a celebrity cookbook. A month later, I am reaching for this book almost exclusively over my other new ones. Everything I’ve made has hit it out of the park. I’ve cooked 15 things in here so far. These are truly delicious recipes. I’m a very experienced home cook, but even for those with less experience, these recipes are manageable.”

Think about it: if you give this Ramen Noodle Sticky Note Pad to your boo for your first anniversary, then you’ll be the one to get cute notes written back to you on them!

Another flower option is this sweet Paper Rose Flower in Gift Box. Not only is this a cute gift for first anniversary but it’ll last forever so your partner will always remember the day.
