Nothing. We don't buy each other anniversary gifts. We're just not like that, I guess.

I gave DW a #1 wife and heart pendants. She stuck with the traditional paper gift in the form of Yankee/Red Sox tickets, which we arrived late to coming back from the Poconos (3rd inning).
Yankees won, 11-1.

It was the paper anniversary and we're tight on money, so I got him a book I thought he'd like. He got me tickets to Spamalot.

Re: what did you give as a 1st wedding anniversary gift?

i think you should get him something that you can actually DO together instead of something tangible. maybe like a night at east wind spa or a weekend away. someone also suggested a kayak trip.. or a day at the vineyards, something like that..

i think the memories will be better than any gift you can give!

(not sure if your DH is into this)

Re: what did you give as a 1st wedding anniversary gift?

I have no idea of what I am going to get DH either and to make it worse for me his birthday is a week before our anniversary. As of now I am thinking of making a nice picnic lunch and go to the beach where he proposed to me.

We went to the Bahamas for our first anniversary so we didn't exchange gifts. I did get him the Book of Us (paper) and answered all the questions pretaining to us. I wanted to keep with the paper tradition.

Re: what did you give as a 1st wedding anniversary gift?

First weddding anniversary is Paper - modern is Clocks. You could get him a watch if you wanted.

We stuck to the paper theme and he got me some framed Disney prints of love themes and I bought him a slew of paper for him to use when he writes.

thanks! yea I read that the modern gift is a clock.....DH is an electrician though, so he doesn't wear his wedding band let alone a watch!

I looked up the Mets schedule and I really want to try & get tix to the Marlins series for the last weekend of home games in Sept.

thanks for your help!! I really like hearing what everyone got from or gave to their spouse!
