Choosing a gift for your other half is not an easy task. Especially when it comes to gifts, which should not only please those to whom they are given, but also be useful and carry some symbolic meaning. One such example is choosing a wedding anniversary gift for your loved one. The matter takes a more serious turn for one more reason: all of the above criteria are completely different from the point of view of a man and a woman. What women like seems completely useless to men. So what to give your husband for his 1 year wedding anniversary? There can be many options. Let's look at some of them.
Symbolic gifts
The first wedding anniversary is called “calico” or “gauze”. The reason for this name was the subtlety and fragility of the material, which so clearly characterizes a young marriage. The young people already have some experience behind them, but still this date brings them to the end of the candy-bouquet relationship and entrusts them into the hands of harsh life. Therefore, gifts for your beloved husband can be chintz or gauze, which, of course, is more difficult.
The easiest way is to give a wardrobe item made of chintz: a shirt, trousers, jacket or jacket. These wardrobe items are not only environmentally friendly, but are also likely to be exclusive.
For a man who likes to do household chores, a chintz apron, embroidered by his beloved caring hands, is perfect.
If the young wife herself has golden hands, she can embroider a picture on chintz, symbolizing their life together or even a portrait of the other half.
You can give your spouse a rocking chair with a personally embroidered blanket on it.
A handmade young lady can embroider a “thought” pillow in the shape of a heart with beautiful congratulatory words on it.
An excellent gift would be a set of bed linen or a bedspread - such a gift is not only beautiful, but also practical. The gift will acquire special value if the young wife herself embroiders patterns on it or congratulatory inscription. And if she doesn’t have such talent, today you can use the “Batik” technology, i.e. painting on fabric. Paints for this can be purchased at any bookstore.
Car covers or car covers. Of course, it will be wonderful if they are sewn by the talented hands of a young wife.
Handmade wreath of chintz flowers. This tradition came to us from exotic islands, but has taken root very well.
An embroidered neckerchief made from chintz fabric will also look good.
Of course, you can get by with a handkerchief, but it could rather be an attachment to some other gift.
By the way, in ancient Rus' There was also a marital ritual associated specifically with the handkerchief. Both spouses, taking embroidered scarves in their hands, had to come up with an oath and, pronouncing it out loud, tie a strong knot in their scarf. The young wife, of course, prepared the scarves with her own hands. The ritual was also accompanied by words, which, according to the ancestors, carried a huge semantic load. In the words, reliable and strong knots were compared with the feelings of the young people for each other and their promise to maintain love and fidelity throughout their lives. The handkerchiefs, of course, were put away in a hiding place and stored long years.
Of course, chintz is not exactly a man's fabric, and gauze, even more so. That's why modern people simplified the approach to symbolic gifts for the first wedding anniversary. A gift made of chintz was replaced with a gift made of any other fabric - cotton, mohair, wool, etc.
As a gift for this important event Identical T-shirts with a thermal transfer image or inscription are perfect. Thermal transfer is an excellent technology for applying images that will not allow them to disappear after the first wash.
Things associated with the woman he loves will look good on a man, for example - warm sweater, scarf, hat or mittens. A warm blanket that will cover the two of you and keep you warm on cold winter evenings will be no less pleasant.
A set of absolutely identical socks, now you don’t even need to select them all, has already been invented and is on sale.
A very significant gift would be a miniature creation of yourself. These can be not only your portraits on a piece of cloth, placed in a frame, but also sewn figures in the form of men. The technology for sewing such toys is publicly available on the Internet. Even if you don't know how to sew at all, detailed instructions will tell you exactly how to do this and where to start.
By the way, about needlework. IN modern world. There are so many wires and gadgets that a box you create with compartments for them will be a great gift. And to tie this to calico anniversary, it can be covered on both sides with chintz.
Practical gifts
Of course, the first anniversary does not oblige you to become attached specifically to the fabric-chintz theme. Or at least not get so attached to her.
You can give your husband something more practical, suitable for his husband’s household. For example, a new drill, screwdriver or hammer drill. A great set of screwdrivers or a toolbox.
For avid computer geeks, a comfortable, specially designed keyboard or mouse would be a great gift. An equally desirable gift for such men would be a comfortable computer chair. Or maybe you will buy a flash drive in a metal case and make a congratulatory engraving on it. By the way, you can sew and embroider a beautiful chintz case for it.
Well, as they say, personal hygiene items will be a “classic of the genre”. Shaving machine and related items: foam, care creams. Again, you can sew an excellent case or even a handbag for them.
Any gadgets needed in the modern world will be not only useful, but also symbolic if you create a storage system for them, cases, bags, with congratulatory inscriptions on them.
Set for making coffee. It can be either electric. So is mechanical.
Gifts and souvenirs
When fantasy comes to a standstill, souvenir gifts come to the rescue. Small trinkets that decorate an apartment or car, for example:
Photo frame made with my own hands or electronic;
the tree of your now common family;
personalized wine glasses;
alarm clock, clock;
snuff box for smokers;
piggy bank;
hourglass;
care kit leather shoes;
wallet, key holder or business card holder;
notepad, organizer;
any interior decoration (figurines, pendulums, vases, etc.);
Board games;
paper holder;
safe;
corkscrew, bottle opener;
wine bottle holder, bucket and ice tongs;
personalized beer mug;
sushi set;
car flavor or toy.
There can be an infinity of such gifts, but with them you need to be prepared for the fact that most likely they will all go on the shelf and be forgotten.
Extreme Gifts
What Russian man doesn’t like extreme sports? If your spouse belongs to this category of people, you should definitely surprise him with a similar surprise and choose a certificate for:
Skydiving;
airplane flight;
horse riding;
diving to the seabed;
going to a water park;
extreme driving lessons.
These can also be durable gifts:
Skates;
snowboard;
skiing.
Before purchasing such certificates and gifts, you should remember that such ventures are risky and are most suitable for trained young people.
Less extreme, but no less practical gifts would be camping supplies, of course, if your spouse loves this type of vacation:
Tent;
kitchen tent;
camp chairs and armchairs;
sleeping bag, blanket.
And also everything related to this topic: a hatchet, a pot, dishes, waterproof cases, etc.
Wellness gifts
Wellness gifts, one way or another, can be tied to the chintz theme. And at the same time, they will be beneficial for the health of the young spouse.
If your spouse cares about his health and his appearance, you can organize a trip for him to spa treatments and for this purpose give him a fluffy, warm robe, terry sheet or towel.
On his anniversary, you can give him a sports uniform made of light fabric, and with it a gym membership. Last time healthy image life is becoming more and more fashionable.
For active bathhouse attendants, a welcome gift would be a set in the form of mittens and a cap or a special bath towel. Of course, a good bonus to a textile gift would be a trip to the bathhouse or sauna, where you can celebrate a joyful event. By the way, this is also an important question for a young wife: how and where exactly to present her gift.
How to cope
Of course, a gift for a husband can be not only one that you can touch or see, but also in the form of a surprise. For example, celebrating your first wedding anniversary. And since the wedding is still chintz, the details of this surprise will carry the meaning of the event.
If the weather conditions for your anniversary allow it, you can organize a great picnic for two. Tablecloth, napkins, towels, blankets and even your clothes - everything will be created from chintz. You can also organize a small tent or arch, under which you will enjoy your event and each other’s company. At worst, it could be a gazebo you decorated.
In colder times, you can have a picnic at the nearest recreation center or cottage. Uniting with nature will help you relax and make your holiday more enjoyable.
At home you can organize romantic meeting in different traditions. For example, in the traditions of our ancestors – the Slavs. In calico clothes, with a Russian table and scarves on their heads, both women and men. Here you can take the above-described vows with handkerchiefs, serve Russian food to your spouse with a bow, and bite into a loaf of bread you baked yourself.
Or arrange an anniversary in Eastern traditions. Organize a small gauze tent in the middle of the room, which will be a bright symbolic gift for a chintz wedding. Inside the tent are light chintz or gauze pillows and a table covered with the same fabric with oriental sweets. And, of course, don’t forget about clothes made of light fabric and light, beautiful music that will help you create the right atmosphere.
The 60-80s of the last century, where chintz and gauze replaced all fabrics in the household, fit perfectly into the chintz theme. It will not only be interesting, but also educational. By the way, creating any thematic atmosphere will be interesting to both of you.
In any case, no matter what you give, your spouse will definitely understand that you are doing it with all your heart and love. Don’t be afraid to fantasize, because such an event only happens once a year and while the marriage is still young. Any romantic adventures are allowed to you.
