Paper Anniversary Gift Ideas For Your Wife
Celebrate with paper!
Paper is the traditional gift theme of the first anniversary, but paper-based gifts can work for other anniversaries as well.
Of course, it's the thought that counts when it comes to gift-giving.
Here, then, are several paper-based anniversary gift ideas that will show your wife she's worth some extra thought!
-
Send a basket of paper flowers to your wife's workplace during the day. She will get great satisfaction from her coworkers' envious comments.
Afraid that paper flowers will seem cheap and inferior? Don't be! These days, floral artists are doing all sorts of interesting things
with paper: for example, hand-making paper roses with personalized messages written or printed on each petal.
Don't confuse art with artificial! Check out some examples from Martha Stewart, or
visit a retail site like Bloom4ever or
Just Paper Roses.
-
Find a skilled paper artist to replicate your wife's wedding bouquet using fine dyed papers.
Not the easiest idea to pull off, but pure gold in your wife's eyes if you can accomplish it. The replica doesn't have to be exact,
just close enough so that your wife will make the connection to her wedding bouquet at first glance. A good art student at your local high
school may be skillful enough for this job.
-
Write a letter to your wife. If you can't think of anything to write, write a famous and very long love poem instead. As long as you take the time to write it in your own hand, no matter how messy it turns out, she will be touched.
-
Have one of your wife's favorite wedding photos enlarged, enhanced (think PhotoShop), and/or embellished scrabook-style. Make a spectacle of it, a real showpiece! Don't hold back!
-
Give your wife two gift certificates for the best spa or salon in your town. Why two? Unless you want to take her yourself, let her take her best girlfriend and have a fun afternoon.
-
Make a custom word search or crossword puzzle using words of significance to you and your wife, words with sentimental value or
romantic memories attached: the names of your children, the place you first met, a favorite song or singer, private nicknames, etc.
Use PuzzleFast Instant Puzzle Maker to make the puzzle—a ten-minute process—and print it on fine stationery.
