Gifts of Paper
-
The traditional gift category for the first anniversary is paper. Consider giving your husband a leather-bound journal, a book he's been dying to read, or a collection of love poems. Other ideas include a magazine subscription, a book of "love" coupons, an art print, a framed newspaper from your wedding date, a framed copy of your wedding invite or marriage certificate, or tickets to an event.
Clocks
-
Clocks are the modern gift associated with the first anniversary, so consider getting your husband a new watch to celebrate your anniversary. You can even get the watch engraved with your wedding date or a romantic inscription to add a personal touch. Other ideas include a new alarm clock, a decorative wall clock or a pocket watch.

Gold Jewelry
-
Gold jewelry is another common gift for the first wedding anniversary. Options for your husband include cuff links, a bracelet, a gold ring or an earring if his ears are pierced. Consider getting old jewelry engraved so it is more personal.
Freshwater Pearl
-
Freshwater pearls are also associated with the first anniversary. Although pearl jewelry is primarily worn by women, you may consider a watch or pendant with freshwater pearl accents for your husband. Another appropriate gift option is giving him a pocket knife with freshwater pearl on the handle. Or opt for a keepsake box or pen set with freshwater pearl accents.
