Anniversary First Gift Idea
Mon, 26 Jul 2010 07:07:05 +0100As the saying goes – there is a first for everything.
There are first smiles, first words, first steps, first birthdays, first Christmases and many other firsts in our lives. You can commemorate your firsts in little ways or grand ways but the choice celebration must be fitting for the occasion. To follow is a list of fantastic firsts in most of our lives that we should celebrate and some of the most common ways to celebrate them:
Babies’ First: The first smile is always hard to capture on camera – but those that follow are not. Make sure you always have a camera on hand for the next ones and find a baby book or photo frame to show it off in. Baby’s first tooth…as aways is a special one. Ideally you will take a photo of that budding pearly white AND you will find a creative storage facility for it. Again baby books with envelopes are are great for this. But if you happen to have an issue with keeping the tooth – a great way to remember this moment is with an First Tooth Ornament. Same goes for first steps, ornaments are great for that occasion too.
Beyond all of the great babies first events you can commemorate, there are other keepsake worthy moments in life as well. Sticking with the theme of ornaments – the 1st Christmas ornaments world is full of fantastic firsts.
Kids First Sports Leagues are also GREAT to celebrate. There are plenty of photo frames for those team or individual photos. Scrapbooking can tell the full story of the first sports league a little more vividly as well. Even if you don’t know how to scrapbook – you can always pay someone to do it for you. Then you can use a shadow box frame to preserve it – or start a full scrapbook album.
Another great first to celebrate is a First Vacation / Holiday. All first vacations and holidays are generally remembered by colorful photos – that’s a given…as a result it makes sense to put these in an album as well. In fact, today there are many albums designed with holiday themes in mind. BUT, there are also fantastic globes for many locations around the world (with fish, sparkles, flowers and all sorts of anti-snow confetti inside). And like all other occasions you can find great Travel Ornaments for your annual tree display as well. Speaking of Travel.
A hot new trend in celebrating firsts is New Drivers Ornaments. At OrnamentsandMore.com we see a lot of sales come through on this subject every day (throughout the year). It’s a great way to celebrate that special moment with/for a loved one – - without spending too much money.
Beyond Travel, as your friends and loved ones grow up – future firsts might include First Graduations / Careers and New Homes. Our research tells us that there are lots of creative photo frames and scrapbooking products on these subjects as well. And for those new grads personalized notepads, pens, briefcases and career appropriate items are also a great option. We have found that there are a lot more gift ideas for new homes than most though. Some gift ideas for new homes (apart from ornaments) is engraved door knockers, personalized mailboxes, personalized address plates, personalized door mats, custom flower beds/pots, named front porch chairs and all sorts of entry way show pieces. Historically speaking however, aside from all of the amazing first’s for baby.
The next hot topic has to go to couples! People will celebrate everything from a couples first Christmas to the engagement year, wedding dates and every special anniversary year as well. There are some traditional theories about what sort of gift should be given for milestone anniversary years, common to most nations are: 5th Wooden, 10th Tin, 15th Crystal, 20th China, 25th Silver, 30th Pearl, 40th Ruby, 50th Golden, 60th Diamond. Photo frames for these special occasions are available in most card and gift stores. But you can burnish, etch, engrave, hand paint, wrap with custom ribbons or simply post a heart shaped ornament or pendant in the matching gem/stone/element to bracelet, necklace or plaque to keep with tradition as well.
No matter what you are celebrating there is always something wonderful you can do it with!

Choosing anniversary gifts year in, year out, can prove a difficult process; especially after a few years of marriage. However, get it wrong and it can make for some awkward times so choosing the right gift is not only important to show how much you care but is also conducive to a good anniversary celebration. Personalised photo gifts enable you to give unique and beautiful gifts while also giving you complete freedom over what you choose every year. Whether you’re looking for a gift for your husband or for friends of the family, personalised gifts make great anniversary gifts.
The Difficulty In Choosing Anniversary Gifts
One of the most difficult aspects in choosing anniversary gifts is the fact that you have to try and find great looking gifts every year. For the first years of marriage that might prove easy enough, especially if the recipient is given to dropping hints, but eventually it will become more and more difficult finding something that fits the bill for every anniversary celebration. Some people are simply more difficult to buy for than others as well adding greater pressure to the gift buying process.
For Him, For Her, Or For Them
One of the benefits of considering personalised gifts is that they can be given to anybody as an anniversary gift; husband or wife, Mum or Dad, son or daughter, your gift buying needs are well met with the assortment of personalised photo gifts that are on offer. Once customised with your selection of photograph or photographs, and in some cases text or captions, you will have a stunning and unique anniversary gift to give.
Personalised Photo Gifts Give You Greater Choice
As well as traditional anniversary gifts that are made from or based on specific materials, chocolates, champagne, and jewellery are among the more customary and romantic items to give. The options are limited, to a degree, but by including personalised photo items in the list you can greatly increase the chances of finding the perfect gift for the perfect recipient. Don’t forget that you can add your own choice of photograph or photographs in order to make them entirely unique to the individual or couple.
Customised Gifts Show You Care
What’s perhaps even better about customised gifts is that it really shows you put the effort into choosing the best gift available. While the process is actually a very simple one (you choose the photo and the product options, and let the personalise gift service do the rest), the fact that you took the time to look for the right photograph and the great looks of the item ensure that your gift will be gratefully received.
Update Your Memories With Photo Items
Photo gifts are among the most treasured of anniversary gifts because they allow you to relive past memories, or to help forge new ones. Anniversaries are a time for celebration but should also be a time to remember the past years. You can update photographs, or a photograph, from your wedding or honeymoon or even have a montage of images taken from the last five years converted into a stunning looking photo canvas print.
