An avid reader will appreciate receiving a book for his first anniversary. With the special and nostalgic value of many books, several make an intimate, personalized gift. To purchase a meaningful book, reflect upon your conversations about books or remember his favorite author. Books on subjects that are appropriate for anniversaries, such as poetry about love or a book on Europe for an upcoming vacation, also make good anniversary presents. To make the gift even more personalized, write a message on the inside of the book. - Take a trip down memory lane.Jupiterimages/Comstock/Getty Images
Rather than sticking to a traditional gift, give your significant other a personalized experience that celebrates how far you've come during your first year together. Take your leading lady out on a romantic date that is inspired by earlier events in your relationship. Grab drinks at the bar where you met, eat at your old favorite restaurant and revisit the site of your proposal. Revisiting your beginnings while remembering the past is sure to be a personal and romantic anniversary gift. - Photographs that capture a moment in your relationship make an especially personalized gift. Browse through pictures of you and your partner from throughout the course of your relationship, and pick one that speaks to you. Make the gift extraordinary by adorning the photograph with an impressive picture frame. Select a frame that complements your spouse's style, from a sleek modern frame to an ornate, Victorian one. For a final personalized touch, have the frame engraved with your names and the date of your anniversary.
