Pop the special bottle as you’re celebrating your first year of marriage! You may have done anniversaries before, but this is the first of your marriage means a bit more of a bigger deal… maybe not? While Chatty Chums tries to be slightly more progressive and against the grain platform, we thought, why not dig into a little bit of tradition and start a series of gift guides following the anniversary gifts by year. Also so you can resort back to us for next year’s anniversary qualms! These long-standing customs trace back to the mediaeval era and were selected as good luck and prosperity agents for marriage. The traditional first-anniversary gift is (drumroll...) paper— so we've got a tonne of charming gift ideas for you below that match the theme wonderfully.

The "paper" present is actually up to your perception. Maybe a print of a sweet photo of you both, maybe you could scope out the best coffee table book’s on the scene, a voucher to a day spa. Don't overthink it, and also, don't fret if nothing of paper speaks to you enough. Below is a list of ideas to get the creative juices flowing.
