What is the traditional first anniversary gift?<\/h2>\n
The traditional gift for your first wedding anniversary is something made of paper. There are a few reasons for this; paper signifies a blank slate and new beginnings, much like the beginning of a marriage. Other suggestions are that paper comes from a tree, a part of nature that starts as just a seed and grows into something much stronger, a symbolism for marriage.<\/p>\n

What is the modern first anniversary gift?<\/h2>\n
As with all anniversaries, there are now modern alternatives for gifts. The modern first anniversary gift is a clock. This is because a clock represents time, and everyone knows how quickly the first year of marriage flies by! But it\u2019s also about the time you still have together. After all, the first year is just a small snippet of what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re not sure what to give your other half, here are a few paper and clock anniversary gift ideas to get you started\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n
