1st Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas- Paper

There won't be any cracks to paper over with one of these stylish paper wedding anniversary gift ideas.

They say the first year is the hardest, so celebrate this important milestone with one of these stylish paper wedding anniversary gifts. Paper symbolizes strength- the interlaced connection of the individual threads keeps it together, so by giving your lover a paper gift you’re taking a leaf out of Al Green’s book and saying ‘Let’s stay together’.

The art of Love

A piece of art is something you will both enjoy for years to come and no matter what your budget there's sure to be something to suit. For fabulous prints at very affordable prices, check out Art Vandelay, Art Republic and Bodie and Fou. If photography is more your thing Opus Art have a great selection from artists including Nan Goldin and Helmut Newton. If you really want to blow the budget, go crazy and buy an original Damien Hirst at Other Criteria.

Some moving stationary

It's been a whole year. If you haven't already done so, now would be a good time to put your wedding photos into a nice photo album. We like this one. If you haven't even printed out the photos, this handy pocketsized Polaroid digital photo printer is just the thing.

For a poetic take on a blank notebook, check out One Year of White Pages by Alessandro Esteri. 

If sophisticated luxury is your thing, check out Smythson for the finest British stationary, or for those on a budget you can't beat Muji and Paperchase for funky modern stationary at a great price.

Hopefully you haven't run out of conversation just yet, but even if you haven't we happen to think there's nothing more romantic than snuggling up in bed together with a good book. Check out Amazon and Waterstones- no matter what they're interested in you're sure to find something to their taste. For those with shorter attention spans, why not get them a magazine subscription?

If you're really stuck the lovely people at The School of Life can provide you with some brilliant suggestions. However we think you can't go wrong with this gorgeous hand bound book of Marriage Poems from Shepherd's Bookbinders.
