Here’s our selection of top gifts for each of the milestone anniversaries; uniquely personalised gift ideas …

1st (Paper) Anniversary Gifts

You want to make an impression on your first anniversary don’t you? You’ll make quite an impression with an original newspaper in a neat gift box from Historic Newspapers. Select your newspaper title and your year; it’s as simple of that.

Historic Newspapers has a huge collection (7 million last time we asked) of original newspapers and birthday newspapers.

25th (Silver) Anniversary Gifts

Personalised Champagne is what we would recommend because it’s a gift to share and if you really want to splash out then you could go for the case of 6 bottles, each with a label with your anniversary year, a name and a message.

30th (Pearl) Anniversary Gifts

Make your anniversary celebration an experience and take a trip together down the Thames with a ‘London Eye’ Cruise. See London from different vantage points; including Tate Modern, the Houses of Parliament and St Paul’s Cathedral. This gift experience includes a ticket on the London Eye, something I’ve always meant to do.

40th (Ruby) Anniversary Gifts

You must have gatherered quite a selection of photographs over 40 years so why not put a unique collection together and surprise your partner? This anniversary gift captures all your favourite memories together in a beautiful montage. Add a poem written just for you and you have a magical and memorable present.

50th (Golden) Anniversary Gifts

Rekindle memories of each other with a beautifully bound hardback book containing 3 newspapers – a newspaper from the date of your wedding, as well as both partners’ birth dates. Imagine all the recollections you can have together, sparked by stories from your past.

60th (Diamond) Anniversary Gifts

Here’s an idea; a tipple and a good read. The Macallan Malt Whisky & Newspaper set comes in a beautiful satin-lined gift box and is bound to please with its unique anniversary gift combination. A pleasant Speyside malt whisky to sip and enjoy; a good read of times past; see a face light up in delight in more ways than one.

Jim Says “All these gifts can be shared which makes them special and all can be personalised in one way another; a perfect combination of delights for both to enjoy.”

Do you want to give a gift that is memorable? Are you bothered about getting the tradition right? You’re not?

Any Anniversary Gift Idea

Here’s an idea that will work for any anniversary. I know it would work best as a 1st or Paper anniversary gift. Well if you are a traditional soul it’s perfect. If you just want a memorable gift then this neat idea from GoneDigging is fun. The Framed Front Page anniversary gift idea can hang as a neat reminder service…

Where were you when?

Do you remember what the rest of the world was up to on your big day? I bet your mind was otherwise occupied. If you look back do you recall the world as it was? How much has changed in the time you’ve been together?

Memory Trigger

Have a look at your anniversary date and have a front page from a newspaper in a frame to mark the event. Did man land on the moon? Was it a terrible budget that year? Which Prime Minister was claiming to change the world that day?

We’ve Been Framed

You can choose between three frame types, Oak, silver, and black. Each front page is 30 x 40cm and will stand out in any room.

What we Say “Go for a traditional oak frame.”

I’ve not made my 10th Anniversary yet BUT I know what I want. I love reading the Sunday newspapers with a cup of good coffee and a little bit of cake. I also enjoy a good glass of something sparkly every so often. So this idea captures my attention.

Special Day – Special Memories

I can remember a special day quite well but those little details usually escape me so to have a newspaper from that day gives that little nudge that is perfect for recalling those half-forgotten memories and bringing the day back to life.

Capture Your Time

Newspapers are perfect for helping you remember the good and the not so good from a particular time in your life. I know any man would love to share a glass with his lady and then immerse himself in the luxury of nostalgia that brings back all those fresh feelings of when you first met.

Memory Treasure

We treasure our time and we record it with our digital cameras. Pictures are that moment. But what was happening around the event? What were you wearing? What was on the TV? Who was the flavour of the day and making the headlines on your special day?

Pick a Day – Pick a Paper

The gift set below is quite pricy but we think a milestone anniversary is worth a little more. O’ and you can get all manner of drink and his/her favourite newspaper so this is really a personal memory gift and very special.

What We Say “Sip and read then sip some more and ease into a very comforting memory lane.”

Who dreams up which anniversary is called what? Who decided on paper? Go on own up! Puts you in a hard place doesn’t it? How can you get a personal gift that is also paper?

Tradition

Tradition is what we fall back on when we’re too lazy to think for ourselves. You could go down the route of stationary ‘YAWN’ or a book (OK so you have a good read but it’s not romantic is it)? Perhaps you’ll stretch a point and buy a ticket for the theatre.

Thinking Personal

Short of making origami flowers what else is out there for anniversaries that is personal, unique, and memorable? We are biased but we believe in the original newspaper gift. I love them because they bring back lots of memories and you get a glimmer of your place in the world and how your personal world has changed.

I also love fake newspapers. Just upload a picture, add a few personal words, and click on a button and you have an array of newspaper headlines to choose from. Best Dressed Couple is a beaut’,

We love personalised calendars for all manner of events including weddings and anniversaries. Have a look at the GoneDigging site for a range of personalised gifts.

Of course you can go for a book and be traditional. But how about making it even more personal with a book made up of newspapers from your wedding day and both your birth dates. Anniversary Book.

Words are important. It’s getting them in the right order that is tricky. Get a professional to write them for you and put them in a poem. Have a look at the Lover’s Poem Scroll.

Let us know if you find any other fab paper gifts and we’ll put them in the blog.

Sometimes I look for the least obvious anniversary gift.

Something a little off-beat; something personal, that only I could buy for the important woman in my life. A treat like a weekend away is fun and can be romantic but sometimes an occasion screams for the conventional – red roses.

Roses are Red

Roses are red for a reason. Red is the colour of STOP signs and the colour of danger. Red is also the colour of passion. Would you buy any other colour? Would you buy a single rose, twelve roses, or twenty-four roses? Flower gifts shows you are the sensitive romantic guy she’d like you to be on this notable day.

A Single Rose Gift

Says: I am a romantic and I admire simplicity.

Twelve Roses

Says: I am conventional and winningly romantic.

Eighteen White Roses Gift

Says: I’m not predictable. I am fun.

Twenty-Four Roses

Says: I have a fairly large wallet.

What we Say

The classic romantic gift; red roses for a lady will shout that you care and romance is alive and well in your home.

Come up roses here

You are married. It’s been a whole year. You want to give a memorable gift and you want to be traditional – it has to be paper. I’ve wondered who chooses what each anniversary represents? Do you know? Who chose paper to represent the first wedding anniversary?

Will we ever know?

Paper Wedding Aniversary Gifts

I love this quote from Wikipedia:-

“Wedding Anniversary
A wedding anniversary is the anniversary of the date on which a wedding took place.”

I know what you’re thinking and I’m thinking something similar.

My first stop for paper anniversary gifts is Historic Newspapers as they do a fabulous range of newspapers as gifts. What’s so special about newspapers? They’re full of detail and you can either get an original newspaper gift or a reproduction in a book.  I love reading the adverts from years ago when smoking was compulsory and everything cost less than a shilling. Bring back memories of the fashions you were wearing the year you wed!

Other Paper Anniversary Gifts

If you just want a bit of fun go for a spoof newspaper present or an image calendar (you put in your loved ones name and it give you that name integrated into some smart images).

If you stretch the paper theme to include newspapers and sport then you can have a look at Devoted to Sport, if one of you is looks for a sporting theme, and go for a Football Newspaper book gift, for his or her favourite team. Devoted to Sport have over fifty clubs, English, Scottish, and Welsh, to choose from.

Our Favourite Paper Anniversary Gift

The Anniversary folder from the Gone Digging Anniversary Gifts section: ‘Three original newspapers (one from the wedding day and for both partners’ birthdates).’ This has to be the best and most personal paper anniversary gift around.
