After nine years of marriage, I've come to realize that my husband is always trying to find ways to make me feel special. He's a romantic at heart and believes that there should be something special around every corner -- even though we know how hard it is financially sometimes! It's important not to let money get in the way of celebrating your anniversary together, but if you need some ideas on what kinds of gifts would work well for each year mark then look no further than this list!
In honor of the couple's first anniversary, the gift should be made of paper.
The first-anniversary gift should be made of paper.
Paper is the perfect symbol of the first year of marriage since it's both a renewable resource and easy to make. It also makes an excellent storage medium for all those pictures you'll want to keep from your wedding day! In addition, paper can be recycled over and over again--it's environmentally friendly!
For their second anniversary, give your partner a card.
For their second anniversary, give your partner a card. A simple gesture that's thoughtful, inexpensive, and easy to do at home or buy from a store. Cards can be funny, romantic, or sentimental--so they're perfect for any couple celebrating their second year together. You can make one yourself with paper or other materials (or even just print one out), but if you'd rather go the store-bought route there are plenty of options available online as well as at major retailers like Target and Walmart.
Give your spouse a mixed CD for their third anniversary.
For your third anniversary, give your spouse a mix CD. It's a great way to show them that you care and put effort into the gift. You can make it personal by including songs that remind you of them or songs that they like, or both!
For their fourth wedding anniversary, give them a book.
For their fourth wedding anniversary, give them a book.
Books are the perfect gift for your honey to learn something new, relax and unwind, or just enjoy some quality time with. There are so many great options out there that it can be hard to choose just one! Here are some ideas:
-
A book about their favorite hobby (hockey player? musician?)
-
An inspiring self-help guide on how to be more successful at work/life in general
-
Something super nerdy like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings
Show your love with a photo book of your first four years together for their fifth wedding anniversary.
One of the best ways to show your love is by creating a photo book of your first four years together for their fifth wedding anniversary. It will be a great way for them to relive all those memories and feel appreciated for everything that they've done for you.
This gift idea is perfect because it allows you both to share what has been happening in your lives over the past few years, which can be a great conversation starter if nothing else! You could also add some personal touches by including photos from vacations or events that only happened between just the two of you.
Make your husband feel special with a custom piece of jewelry for his sixth wedding anniversary.
If you want to make your husband feel appreciated and special, consider giving him a custom piece of jewelry for his sixth wedding anniversary. This is an excellent gift because it shows that you put a lot of thought into it and care about what he likes.
The most important thing to keep in mind when buying jewelry as a gift is that it should be appropriate for the occasion. For example, if your husband has been married for six years on their anniversary date, then any type of ring would be too much--it would come off as being too extravagant or showing off wealth rather than appreciating what they have together. However, if your hubby is more into necklaces and bracelets then these are good choices for an anniversary gift because they're less expensive than rings but still show how much thought went into choosing something special just for him!
Plan an adventure to celebrate his seventh wedding anniversary with him -- from hiking in the mountains to biking on your local trails, there are lots of options available so find out what he likes best!

Hiking: If you're looking for something more low-key and relaxing, go on a hike together. It's a great way for both of you to get outside and enjoy nature while spending quality time together. Plus, if it's been a while since you've been out on an actual trail (or if it has never happened at all), now is as good a time as any!
-
Biking: If your husband enjoys biking or even just being outdoors with friends, consider renting bikes from one of those companies that offer rentals by the hour/day/weekend/etc.. Some cities even have bike-sharing programs where people can borrow bicycles from certain spots around town; these are ideal because they allow riders unlimited access without having to worry about returning them at specific times throughout each day.*
-
Fishing trip: If fishing is something he has always wanted to try but hasn't had time for yet then this could be perfect for him! Fishing trips tend not only to give people hours upon hours worth of fun but also provide plenty of opportunities for bonding between friends or family members who may otherwise not spend much time together during normal days off work/school schedules.*
Surprise him by picking up his favorite flowers and delivering them to work on his eighth wedding anniversary with you!
The best anniversary gifts are the ones that show your spouse how much you appreciate them. Flowers are a great way to do this because they can be delivered on any special date in addition to the anniversary date, so it's easy for you to pick up your partner's favorite flowers and deliver them at work on his eighth wedding anniversary with you!
Plan a date night at home when it's time for his ninth year of marriage -- it doesn't have to be expensive or extravagant but definitely memorable!

Just plan something simple and fun that will show him how much he means to you. You can even do some research online if you want inspiration. Try getting ideas from Pinterest or other social media platforms where people post their own experiences with doing similar things in order for them to come up with something original yourself!
