1 Year Anniversary Gifts

Whether you've been dating or married for a year, a first anniversary is always a cause for celebration.  

Like all major anniversaries, a first year anniversary is the perfect time to reflect on all the memories you’ve created together and to let your partner know just how much you love and appreciate them. 

One unforgettable way to mark the occasion is with a beautiful piece to add to their jewellery collection. Celebrate your first wedding anniversary with gold drop earrings, a gold infinity pendant or a gold and diamond eternity ring, with gold being the traditional precious metal for a first anniversary. 

1 year dating anniversary gifts, meanwhile, represent how much you’ve grown as a couple and the happiness that you both feel. Capture this with a piece that feels both timeless and modern and is imbued with meaning, like an evil eye pendant for good luck and protection or a Tree of Life pendant for continued growth and resilience in your relationship.

The traditional gifts for a 1st anniversary are paper and gold.  

Paper represents the blank page that is your marriage, ready to be filled with plenty of special memories, while gold symbolises the strength and richness of your union, one that will grow all the more timeless.  

By including both paper and gold, you can create the perfect 1 year wedding anniversary gift, combining style with sentimentality.  

Show your love with a ring engraved with the date of your anniversary or initials, or a bracelet featuring a diamond accent. Or present your partner with a locket containing a photo from a special time in your lives, so they can keep it close to their heart. You can also add a heartfelt note to your gift written on beautiful stationery, telling your partner just how much they mean to you. 

Other 1 year anniversary gifts, like a diamond tennis bracelet or a figaro or herringbone chain, are also a meaningful way to mark this romantic milestone, offering a touch of classical elegance to an enduring love. 

Jewellery will always be one of the best modern 1st year anniversary gifts, one that is unmistakably special and will endure as a reminder of this moment. 

A thoughtful 1st year wedding anniversary gift is a stylish watch to celebrate the time that you’ve spent together and all the special times still to come, inspired by the modern first year anniversary gift of a clock. Other 1 year anniversary ideas include an eternity ring for your partner to wear alongside their engagement ring and wedding band, or a pair of half hoop studs in gold, combining the traditional gift for a first wedding anniversary with contemporary design. 

For those who have been dating for a year, the gift that you give to your partner should signify growth and strengthen your love and commitment. For unforgettable  1 year dating anniversary ideas, opt for a bracelet that represents your partner’s unique personality and style, or a necklace featuring their birthstone or favourite colour to give your gift a personal touch.
