I dedicate our anniversary to all of our firsts: our first kiss, our first hug, our first midnight cuddle, our first fight, our first threat to breakup, and our first night of making love. May the good times last forever!

The first anniversary is really, really special for couples as we all know! With a lot of anticipation, confusion, and excitement in your mind about celebrating this day and making surprise plans, you just can't think of a perfect gift for your boyfriend, right?
Well, after a year of togetherness, you can't just buy something, wrap it, and present it. Flowers, wristwatches, shirts, and cuff-inks are very typical (and somewhat boring), and something special is what you must be looking for. So, it's time to think out of the box, be creative, and have the right present for him. Read on for our inputs; we hope you'll like them!
♥ Pack the Memories ♥
A collection of your photos together is one of the ultimate gifts for your boyfriend. No, we're not saying that you simply frame a picture of you two and gift it to him. Why not paste a collection of your photographs (read, memories) in a pretty blank diary? Paste one on each page and follow it up with a sweet quote or a few words that will make him smile. You can also use a collection of your cherished photos to decorate your room or hang them in a part of the house. Like we said, think out of the box!
♥ Write For Him ♥
No, who said anything about a whole book? All you need to do is pen down your feelings for him and present the same to him in a unique manner. How, you ask? Simply write them in a small book―one page, one reason as to why you love him. How about a jar full of love letters? Another idea is to place love notes all over his room. Don't forget to decorate your beautiful letters to him! Sweet surprise, eh?
♥ Cook For Him ♥
Someone very smartly told us that a way to a man's heart is through his stomach. If you're thinking of a homemade anniversary gift option, cooking for him is a great idea. By now, we're sure you know his likes and dislikes when it comes to food, according to which you can come up with something absolutely delicious. You don't need to worry about being fancy, it's the effort that you take that is going to mean the most to him. Bake a cake, make some dinner or simply prepare brunch―he's going to love whatever you do!
♥ A Personal Kit ♥
Here's one of the most useful gifts you can get for your boyfriend. Make a collection of his daily personal hygiene items which you know he likes and needs, such as his favorite shaving gel, cologne, deodorant, perfume, shower gel, and more. All these grooming tools can then be packed creatively to make it a gift to remember. Plus, he'll always look and smell good on your dates, thanks to you! (Just kidding, we know he does!)
♥ Paint a Gift ♥
If you are more of an artistic person and are searching for a creative and truly imaginative anniversary gift, then here's a wonderful idea. How about painting his portrait? You can use oil colors, pencil, charcoal or whatever you like, and come up with a beautiful painting. We are so sure that he's going to treasure this gift from you! Those who aren't confident about painting a portrait, you can try painting a t-shirt for him since it's fairly easy and just as cute. You can do the same with pillow covers, laptop skins, phone covers, shoes, and so much more!
Apart from these gifts, you can give him something that helps him explore his hobbies. A latest gadget is a perfect pick for all those techno-savvy guys. An adventure trip (with you!) can be another great anniversary gift. Whatever you choose, be sure to keep his likes and dislikes in mind. Best of luck, and here's wishing you both a very happy anniversary in advance!
