    Context? For him, her or them?

    Traditional first anniversary gifts are either paper or related to paper.
    How about dinner out and tickets to a concert or event, a love letter expressing your happiness and how you feel about her, or a watercolour painting or drawing of where you spent your honeymoon?
    Happy anniversary. :)

    If you still haven't gotten around to sorting out the wedding photographs (you wouldn't be unusual in that), get a nice album and do so.

    You could buy her a tree which has been planted in one of those reclaimed forests for recycling.

    If you bought her a wedding gift, perhaps you could buy her a similar item again which would remind her of how happy she was 1 year ago?

    For instance, I bought my wife some Versace perfume that she loved and wore on our wedding day. However, shortly afterwards the bottle cracked and the perfume leaked out, which upset her as its her favourite and it reminds her of our wedding day. For our 1st anniversary I got her a bottle of the same perfume and she was absolutely delighted. Maybe a similar thing would work for you?

    Oh and btw, seeing as ours is quickly approaching, does anyone know what to get for a 2nd anniversary present???

    Had mine in early August. I had a map of the world that my wife got framed for me (thought this was an excellent one). I bought my wife a selection of (well thought out) books.

    Paper related is a must though. Good luck.

    if you're already struggling mate...you'd want to get your stuff together ;)

    Paper is first, so get her a book she likes, give her money, so she can have a night out with her friends on you (i know it's both your money, but its the gesture), don't take her for a meal, come home early from work, have the house lit only by candles everywhere, you cooking her favourite meal, with a glass of her favourite wine waiting for her on the table when she comes in from work, pamper her all night, get tickets to an event you know she'll want to see, and most importantly write her a letter about how the last year has been the best of your life, how happy she makes you, and how you can't wait for each moment you spend together. blah blah blah.... guarenteed sex for a month....non-stop.

    Don't pick one of the above, you have to do them all, and preferably you can give her all that stuff on the night of the anniversary for best impact...get your skates on buddy, and that one night could be your get out of jail card for months :D

    give her a paper serviette and surprise her with a bargain bucket from KFC, from only 9.99 :)

    there are hundreds of things with paper in them.perhaps a paper treasure map with her real present at the end of it :)

    that's a really sweet idea! it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :D

    Well yes just as long as the 'treasure' is not located in the crotch chest.
