I'm trying to figure out what to get my wife for our paper (first) anniversary. At this point, I'm thinking some kind of framed paper art. I'm looking at paper flower on etsy...but would love suggestions!
TIA! |

Tickets.  (Tickets to anything - but get the real tickets, that's the paper part, and then the concert/show/trip is the gift.
Happy anniversary! |

Tickets. A piece of art. A Mont Blanc pen or other nice writing instrument or stationary. Gift certificate.
Paper is one of the easiest and can be done at any price point! Congratulations. |

| My husband bought me Crane stationery with my married name/initials. He's not the best at gifts but I thought that was really thoughtful. |

| I laid the words from our wedding ceremony out alongside pictures from the ceremony and printed it in a little book. |

A few of these are things that we've (she's) already done:
1) canvas of wedding photo - check 2) wrote our own vows - check 3) words from wedding + pictures - check (SIL did that) I've married into the knick-knack, keepsake and memento family! The book variant is tempting...and I'm searching for tickets/shows. Earrings...are intriguing. Keep 'em coming and thank you all so much! |

Framed print (large format, for hanging) from your honeymoon?
I would really love personalized stationery. Notecards and envelopes. Possibly social (calling) cards to use when business cards are not the most appropriate. Book of poems. First edition (hardback, of course) of her favorite book. |

| I gave a cookbook and cooking lessons for that type of cooking. Any book plus event works though. After 20 years, it is still the anniversary present we most remember. |

easy and thoughtful......get about 20 nice photos and make a book out of them. Apple has an idiot simple service and templates you can use. If your not the most tech savvy person I believe you can make an appointment, take you pictures to the apple store and they can walk you through the process.
If your not an Apple person there are also a couple different book sites out there that do the same thing. Upload you photos, place them in the template, pay to have it print and bound. Done. Nice keepsake and you look thoughtful. ~N~ |

| If you are artistically inclined, you could paint her something in watercolor on a piece of nice watercolor paper and frame it. |
