One-year dating anniversary gifts for him and her
A year together is the first big milestone. Gifts that look back at the year work best:
A star map of your first date
The sky over the place you met, one year ago, with both names. The classic first-year gift — it’s paper, like the traditional first wedding anniversary. From $14.99 at myskykept.com. See your sky free →
A photo book of the year
One page per month.
Recreate the first date
Same place, same order.
12 letters
One for every month of the year ahead.
A weekend away
Somewhere new for year two.
A playlist of the year
One song per memory.
Tip: Lean sentimental: after one year, memories beat expensive things.
Questions
What do you get your boyfriend for your 1 year anniversary?
Something about your year: a star map of your first date, a photo book, or recreating your first date.
Is a star map too much after one year?
No — it’s about the night you met; keep the style simple.
