The first anniversary will come around quicker than you think – believe us, we’ve been there!
It’s a lovely idea to gift your other half something every anniversary. It doesn’t always have to be a large, extravagant present, usually it’s the little gifts with meaning that are the most treasured. I’ve bought my husband an espresso cup for every anniversary. He appreciates a great espresso and it’s a little tradition that we both adore! I love the experience of finding a new cup and he loves to discover what I have chosen for him each year. They never cost a lot but we both get great pleasure from this tradition in our marriage.
The traditional 1st anniversary gift is paper and we think you’ll never go wrong with a great recipe book – have a look at ten of our current favourites below and get planning your date nights around cooking with each other…
