The first year of family life is usually the most interesting and romantic period, because the spouses gradually study each other, spend a lot of time together and improve their life. When the first wedding anniversary comes, you want to make it unforgettable and once again show your love and devotion. You should prepare for this day in advance, of course, you also need to think about the gift. But what to give for 1 year of married life so that this date is really remembered, and what is better to refuse?

A year after the wedding, the couple celebrate a chintz wedding. In the old days, on this day, the spouses traditionally gave each other chintz clothes - the wife a shirt, and the husband a sundress. Relatives usually presented tablecloths, bed linens, bedspreads, decorative pillows and other chintz products or fabric itself, from which the young wife independently sewed various things.

Today, husbands also donate textiles such as a robe, pajamas, or underwear for their first anniversary. Fans of more original gifts order paired T-shirts with interesting inscriptions or their own photographs. Unfortunately, chintz is a fragile material that wears out quickly, so products made from it are usually kept as a souvenir and are rarely used in everyday life.

As for the celebration, it is not customary to celebrate this date with a big celebration. As a rule, the couple spends it alone with each other or in a close circle of relatives.

It is not difficult to please your wife with a pleasant surprise, because, knowing her tastes and preferences, it will not be difficult to choose a gift. But on the first wedding anniversary, I want to present something special, which would allow me to express my feelings without words and perpetuate this day in memory. Most often, men choose the following for their beloved women.

• Decorations. It can be both jewelry and bijouterie. It is not necessary to purchase an expensive piece of jewelry, because a chintz wedding symbolizes simplicity and modesty.
• Sweets. A beautiful custom-made cake will certainly delight those with a sweet tooth. You can also present a basket with various sweets, decorated with flowers and ribbons.
• Cosmetics and perfumery. Those who know the tastes of their beloved donate sets of cosmetics for body care and their favorite perfume. It should be noted that men in this case should not experiment and choose something at their discretion. It is best to purchase products that your wife uses regularly.
• Gift Certificate. It is not customary to give money for a chintz wedding, but a certificate is a completely different matter. Such a present will especially delight shopping lovers. In addition, the girl will be able to independently choose what she really needs.
• Travel. Traveling together is one of the best ways to remember your first anniversary. Since such a present must be planned, it is worth consulting with your spouse about when and where it is better to go.
• Technique. Modern gadgets today are not a luxury item, but rather a necessity, because they greatly simplify our life and allow you to always stay in touch with loved ones. A new mobile phone, tablet, laptop, smart watch and other technical items will be the best gift for a girl.

Regardless of the choice of the main gift, it must be complemented with flowers. Despite the fact that it is commonplace, women are always happy with the bouquet. Those who wish to surprise their wife should be creative and choose something non-standard. These gifts include the following:

• invite to the quest room, where she will need to find the main present;
• a master class in strip plastic, drawing, vocals, etc .;
• skydiving;
• hot air balloon flight;
• boat or yacht trip;

For the gift to be really pleasant and memorable, the husband must know well the desires and tastes of his wife. For some reason, many men are sure that dishes, kitchen utensils or household appliances will be an excellent gift for their wife on their wedding anniversary, but this is not so. Of course, for some women, such a present will be very useful, but on such a day it is necessary to give something special and individual, and not things of general use.
