The most special day in your life after your wedding is your first wedding anniversary. Make your first anniversary celebration special with a warm, romantic gift for your partner. Instead of fretting about the perfect gift and getting confused about your spouse liking your gift or not, breathe easy and take your pick from the following:
Couple's watches:
Purchase a gift for both of you! Buy a set of couple's watches that have the same design element for the man and the woman. This will make it a couple's special, without making it look very identical.

Handmade canvas art:
You don't have to be a trained professional painter to do an abstract sketch of art. Buy yourself a canvas, oil paint and some art accessories and paint a sketch for your spouse. That sketch could be anything- an impression in your mind about love, a sketch of your spouse if you are good at doing portraits, an abstract visual of your home or whatever else comes to your mind. What your spouse will appreciate is the thought of you having done something personalized for him/her. The finesse you bring to the painting doesn't matter.

Painting:
Visit a local city exhibition or gallery and pick up an artwork that you like. Choose from figurative, abstract or contemporary according to the décor of your home. You could also choose the painting according to your spouse's cabin in his/her office. Another interesting way to look at art these days is from the investment point of view. As a couple, if you invest together in stocks and gold,art is one more option to add.
Vintage Wine:
There are few things in this world that can replace the aroma and the ambience that a vintage wine creates. Take your pick from some of the exclusive vintage wines available, and open it over a romantic candlelight dinner with your spouse.
First anniversary is always remembered long after many years of the marriage. Make sure your anniversary celebrations are memorable by gifting your spouse a carefully selected gift.
