Photo Gifts
-
Commemorate your past year together with a special photo gift. Choose meaningful photos from your relationship that depict special memories the two of you have had together. You can put these photos together in a homemade scrapbook, or create a more professional looking photo book at an online photo shop. Online photo stores also allow you to create memorabilia out of your favorite photos. You can create poster-size prints, collages, calendars, mugs and even blankets out of your favorite photos to make a special gift.
Couple's Activities
-
Give the gift of a special memory together for your one-year anniversary. Plan an activity for you and your significant other to do together. You can book a couples massage at a local spa, so that the two of you can enjoy time together relaxing. You can also plan an activity to do together that you wouldn't do on a normal day, such as horseback riding. If you and your significant other enjoy the outdoors, and you don't wish to break the budget on an activity, plan a day-long hike or bike ride for the two of you.

Trip or Vacation
-
Plan a trip so that the two of you can get out of town to celebrate your first anniversary. Depending on your budget, you can plan a special day trip to a nearby location, or an elaborate vacation to an exotic destination. You can even try a weekend trip, which gives you enough time to get away without the expense of a long vacation. Make sure to find a place where the two of you can spend quality time together to celebrate your anniversary.
Jewelry
-
Many women love to get jewelry as a gift, so treat your girlfriend to a special piece of jewelry to celebrate your one year anniversary. A nice piece of jewelry will remind her of your special anniversary every time she puts it on. Jewelry can range in price to fit nearly any budget, depending on the type and quality of piece you choose. Try to find a piece of jewelry you know she wants or you know she will wear often. This can be anything from earrings, a necklace, or even a watch. To personalize the gift even more, you can get it engraved with her name or the date.
