What to give her husband on the first wedding anniversary?
The first wedding anniversary is the most important event in the life of each couple. During this year, the spouses got to know each other better, survived many happy moments, were able, at last, to enjoy each other, and therefore this event should definitely be noted. The first anniversary is celebrated noisy and fun. Witnesses and guests of last year’s celebration must necessarily congratulate the young ones. But the most important gift spouses are waiting from each other. If on the anniversary of the wife can not decide on a gift to her husband, then this article will help her make the right choice.
What is the date called?
The first family anniversary was named calico wedding. There are several opinions about the origin of this name. On the one hand, the relations of the newlyweds have already moved to the everyday level of everyday life, in them appeared chintz simplicity. On the other hand, the source of this name is the Sanskrit word “sitras”, which means “motley”. That is, the first year of marriage, when young people only “get used to” each other, is full of incredible happiness and noisy quarrels at the same time, wild scandals smoothly flow into passionate passion, so this year is not boring.
According to another version, for 1 year from the date of the wedding, the spouses had only just managed to get to know each other, their relations are still fragile and can break off at any moment, break like a fragile chintz. At the same time, there is a more down-to-earth and natural explanation for this name: for the first year, the spouses are absorbed in each other, they have an unimaginable passion, which leads to the deterioration of calico bed linen.
On the anniversary day the mandatory gift should be a cotton handkerchief. These products are presented by husband and wife to each other as a sign that they have successfully withstood the ordeals that awaited them in the first year of their marriage.
During the holiday, the perpetrators of the celebration should tie knots on calico scarves and hide the gifts in a safe place. Now the handkerchiefs will serve as a talisman for conjugal love and protect the family hearth.
Traditional gifts
Usually on this day it is customary to give things from chintz, but still it is not necessary to strictly follow the traditions of the holiday. If the above described ritual with a handkerchief is observed, then other classic options can be dispensed with.
Themed Gifts
If the wife wants to present a chintz gift to her husband, then you can give a set of bath towels. Nowadays, many men love a bath, but now bath procedures are rather a type of recreation and entertainment, and therefore the husband will definitely appreciate such a gift. For interest, you can embroider in the corners of towels the name of the spouse.
Another unusual option is a pillow with a printed photo and an anniversary date. An interesting and useful gift - chintz underwear. Also, a man should rejoice at the blanket, especially if the anniversary is celebrated in cold winter. The plaid is not only a practical gift, but also a symbolic one. In this way, the wife will express her warm feelings and hint at romance.
An interesting option - a portrait of her husband, made in some unusual technique. This may be the embroidered face of the faithful or a general picture. This gift looks gorgeous, and will also be able to decorate the interior of the apartment.
For hobby
In this case, you should focus on the interests of the husband.If he is keen on fishing, he will be incredibly pleased with the modern set of fishing gear. True, if the wife herself does not understand much, then it is better to ask for advice about buying from a spouse's friends or consult a fishing store. Perhaps a man loves a country holiday and prefers to spend the summer in the country. In this case, he will be happy to get a summer rocking chair, as well as a new grill, smokehouse and other attributes for a picnic.
If the spouse is a collector, then the wife will guess for sure if she presents a copy missing from the collection on the anniversary day. And if a man is keen on football, then there are a lot of options: this includes souvenirs with the logo of your favorite team, a T-shirt with the image of a sports idol, and a thematic group. An excellent gift is to buy a ticket for the closest match of your favorite team, but this option needs to be planned in advance: make sure that the husband is free that day, find a company of friends for him if the spouse cannot go, think about how to get to the stadium if the match passes in another city.
Useful gifts
In this case, referring to the universal gifts that just come to taste of any man. For example, a win-win option - a new good phone, laptop or tablet. An excellent solution - a gift set of tools, this thing is needed not only to the spouse himself, but will also be useful around the house. Another option - attributes for the car: a new DVR, navigator, keychain for car keys and other universal items.
In the first year of marriage, it often happens that spouses find themselves in a difficult financial situation. They are still very young, perhaps one of them is still a student and has no work, and perhaps the newlyweds are renting housing, because they have not yet had time to get their own cozy nest. In this case, it is unnecessary to spend money on an expensive gift for a husband, you can instead agree on gifts in advance and purchase some kind of common gift, for example, household appliances or furniture - then the expenses will be fully justified and the husband will be satisfied, besides this item will bring more coziness and convenience to life together.
Original options
In order for this holiday to be remembered by the spouse for a long time, you can try to present an original gift, one that no friend has ever given on other holidays.
The bravest ladies can ask for help from friends, rent musical instruments and perform a serenade from a loved one under the window. Yes, it is unusual and a bit strange, because the serenade is the prerogative of men, but this is all the gusto! However, it is important to foresee the reaction of the man: if the faithful is more inclined to erotic surprises, then it is better to stop at this, a serenade will give pleasure only to a true poet and romance. In general, it is quite possible to get by with an ordinary song or a poem performed during the celebration. Suitable and option dance in the company of girlfriends.
Pleasant impressions will deliver a man and prepared video. It is possible to “chase away” romantic music on a big screen together photos taken during the first year of married life, and at the end, for example, write a congratulation from the wife. The real pleasure will bring to the husband and the invitation to the holiday of his favorite musical group. On this, however, will have to spend money, but if it is a local musical group, then the amount can be quite feasible.
You can give unusual gifts that your spouse does not expect to receive. Parachute jump, bungee jump, river rafting - all these extreme adventures will be gladly met by a man. However, in this case, the woman again needs to focus on character. Perhaps the husband is a homebody who does not like to spend his free time extremely, but prefers a quiet family vacation or get-togethers with friends at a cozy table, and then these options will not work.
An interesting surprise for the spouse will be a joke. This can be organized with the participation of friends and relatives, but it is better to contact the special entertainment agencies - employees of the company will offer many scenarios, as well as arrange everything so that the man would not have guessed until the last minute that he is being played. However, in this case, the wife should take into account the character of the beloved. Among the representatives of the male there are very touchy men, but over the course of a year the woman had to understand whether this quality belongs to the character of the chosen one.
If the husband does not possess extreme adventures and is offended at the rally, then there is a win-win option - the quest. It is possible to prepare everything from the very morning or even from the evening - hide riddles and “hints” from friends, in the stairwell, in places that are important for the newlyweds (for example, the park where they met, or the dance floor where they first kissed). Of course, the following paragraph should be encrypted in the riddles. All attributes may be accompanied by the image of kisses and general photographs. The final gift should also be unusual: for example, an album with family photos that the wife secretly created for a long time, or perhaps the final surprise will be a party with friends, which, according to her husband, was not originally planned for the anniversary. Another quest goal that is pleasant for both spouses is a wife dressed in erotic lingerie in an expensive hotel room.
DIY gift
If the wife has the skills of hand-made, then she has nothing to think about. The most common and always pleasant gift is the creation of a collage from common photos, decorated with calico attributes and other decorative elements. You can self-embroider a joint portrait and hand it to your spouse during the anniversary celebration.
Another unusual idea is a surprise chest. In a beautiful homemade box in the form of a chest, the wife can put pieces of paper on which 50 reasons will be written, forcing her to love her chosen one. During the holiday, the husband will take out one piece of paper and read the text to the guests. At the same time, it is important not only to indicate the standard reasons like “I love you for being behind you, like a stone wall”, but also funny ones, for example, “I love for your kindness not only to people, but also to animals: I’m I can not persuade you to give me a fur coat. "
More simple, but no less pleasant options - baking a delicious and beautifully decorated cake, making an exclusive scarf, creating an individual pendant. By the way, in the latter case, you can make two pendants at once in the form of halves of a heart for yourself and your beloved. It will be a double romantic gift.
What is better not to give?
In order not to be mistaken with the choice of a gift, it is recommended to refuse the following options.
Toys and souvenirs. Women love teddy bears, beautiful statuettes, cute trinkets, so they often try to present such a gift to their partner. However, a man who grew up from childhood, is unlikely to be happy to meet such a gift, so a woman should not be guided by her preferences, but should take into account only the interests of her spouse.
- Makeup kit. Perfume, shaving foam, shower gel - all this is not the most successful options. The fact is that an suspicious spouse may think that this is a hint of his uncleanliness. If the husband is not touchy and is not too burdened by the choice of care products, then, most likely, care about his appearance and so lies on the shoulders of his wife. And then it will be no longer a gift, but an ordinary standard purchase.
- Mirror, clock, knife. All these items, according to the signs, you can not give to her husband. It is believed that after the delivery of one of these gifts to the spouse, the couple will part.
