Practical options: equipment, clothing, tools
Women love flowers, soft toys, figurines and various cute trinkets that have no practical purpose.
Men are rarely delighted with decorative things; they like useful and functional gifts
A representative of the stronger sex will certainly appreciate a piece of household or digital equipment that he can use regularly. An electric razor, a smartphone, an MP-3 player and an organizer fit this description well. But it is logical to give them only if the hero of the occasion does not have a similar item, or if the existing version does not suit him in some way.

If your spouse gets up early and always treats himself to a cup of coffee in the morning, you can give him a coffee machine. Lovers of fresh juices and nectars will be delighted with the juicer. Car owners will appreciate an item that will increase the functionality of the car or make the operating process more convenient.
If your wife is not well versed in cars, then it is better to play it safe and ask a friend or neighbor for advice. If you know about any hobby, but cannot choose what to give your husband for his first chintz wedding anniversary, give him a certificate for purchases in a specialized store, and the husband himself will choose the appropriate “toy”.
The spouse's hobbies and interests expand the list of things he needs. If a person goes to play table tennis every week, it is logical to buy a racket, rubbers or other appropriate equipment for him. Does he like to compose music? Then you will probably be happy with a synthesizer or guitar.
A good gift can open up new hobbies for your husband.
Having received a fishing rod, he will probably want to update it, even if he hasn’t gone fishing often before. And if you present your spouse with a new soldering iron with high power, you can kill another hare - most likely, the spouse will immediately rush to fix all the broken equipment in the house. Working tools will have a similar effect.

For the 1st wedding anniversary, you can give your husband some clothes: jeans, trousers, a nice jumper, a set of hat and scarf. A more sophisticated option is a bow tie or tie in a beautiful gift box.
These items of clothing correspond to the style of the holiday, but before purchasing you need to soberly assess their practicality. If the husband wore a tuxedo only once in his life to a wedding and does not plan to repeat it, then he is unlikely to need a formal bow tie.
Accessories close the category of practical gifts: wristwatch, fitness bracelet, headphones, umbrella, original lighter, cigarette case, etc.
Original gifts
The originality of the idea does not directly depend on the level of material value or the type of surprise being prepared. In this case, imagination and the desire to surprise your chosen one with unusualness, uniqueness, and most importantly an attempt to realize your fantasy play a huge role. However, here the probability of success is equal to the probability of failure. You will have to take into account almost all the nuances: the number of years of marriage, the age of the spouse, profession, hobbies, etc.
The category of original gifts includes:
- Symbolic - distinguished by its exclusivity; sometimes the meaning of such a gift or the action accompanying it is understandable only to the participants of the celebration. And even the most modest thing in value can be of great value to spouses.
- Romantic - suitable for sensual, emotional natures, but you need to make your choice as carefully as possible - a man is the strong half of the family and “rose petals” will not be appropriate here, and may even offend him.
- Memorable - presented in memory of the celebration, past years.
- By passion. A person with a hobby will be able to appreciate a gift presented on a significant date that corresponds to his hobby.
- Intimate gifts. To add color to personal relationships, diversify your usual sex life, and experience new sensations, intimate gifts are suitable.
- Gifts of an intellectual direction.
- Jewelry – Giving jewelry on a significant date is considered traditional. Men also like expensive gifts, however, if you add originality to the product, for example, an unusual engraving, then such a surprise is unlikely to be perceived negatively.
Original gifts for a chintz wedding
If you show resourcefulness and imagination, you can surprise your husband with an original gift. In order for him to be completely delighted, you need to know about his hobbies and dreams.
The following can be given as an original gift:
- order an original world map, laminated with a special coating, on which cities are indicated. And when you visit a certain city together, its name is erased from the map, so you can always see which cities and countries still remain to be conquered;
- An original computer mouse, which is made in the shape of a car, will be an excellent gift for car enthusiasts. So, if the husband cannot imagine himself without a motor and the aroma of engine oil, then such a gift will be on point;
- you can make a pirate treasure map, and then install interesting “traps” throughout the apartment that will prevent you from quickly finding the treasure. Of course, someone may say that this is rubbish, but on the first wedding anniversary, many husbands still have a child in their souls, so all this will be interesting to him.
Useful Wedding Anniversary Gifts
Useful things given on your wedding anniversary can be:
- Tools for the garage and home are a very convenient opportunity to resolve issues related to the absence of one or another item, as a result of which the “shelf” is still not nailed down.
- Renovating a home is a great anniversary gift for the whole family.
- Education. Providing opportunities to improve your or your spouse's educational level is a good investment. But in order to avoid misunderstandings, it is better to discuss this idea with your husband in advance.
- There are a huge number of interesting courses, trainings, practical classes, etc., which both will enjoy attending.
- Acquisition of real estate or expensive property, securities...
Gifts according to husband's preferences

How to choose a gift for your husband
To choose and give your husband a suitable gift for your wedding anniversary, you can use the following recommendations:
- In the first year, newlyweds are still full of romantic feelings and passion, so the gifts chosen should be a manifestation of these feelings and testify to love.
- The gift must correspond to the character and interests of the husband. For example, a gift of a calico tie will be very inappropriate if the spouse, due to his lifestyle or duty of service, is not required to wear formal suits. In this case, a comfortable T-shirt of a fashionable color and cut will be more suitable for him.
- A gift given for the first anniversary should remind you of the year spent together. Since the period of romance is not over yet, on this day it is not forbidden to give various trinkets in the form of hearts, intertwined rings, doves and swans.
- The gift does not have to be of high value. However, it must be chosen with soul and presented to your husband with love. The process of gifting is most often accompanied by corresponding wishes and memories of the best moments from our life together.
- When choosing a gift for a chintz wedding, you need to take into account the age of your husband, since what suits a young guy will not necessarily delight an older man. In addition, the position in society and the occupation of the spouse should be taken into account.
Inexpensive gifts for husband
Celebrating any anniversary is quite an expensive affair. Expenses arise on their own and are very difficult to control.
Of course, it’s not worth saving on your loved ones, but it is recommended to pay attention to all the gift options, perhaps if the more modest cost does not affect its main characteristics. Another important point that affects the price is the place where the goods are purchased. For example, the price of an original product in a regular store may differ significantly from the price from an official representative, although in both cases the originality of the product will be confirmed by documents.
In the case when there is no need for excessive spending, it is better not to strain your financial capabilities, make a symbolic gift or simply have a pleasant time: cook dinner together, take a walk, watch an exciting movie...
Interesting gifts
- Watch. It is better to choose a wrist one or on a chain with dedicatory engraving. Even if he doesn’t wear them, he will still wear them to joint events.
- Tickets for the season of games of the sports team you support or for the performance of your favorite musical group.

The first important date in the life of a young family
The first anniversary is called calico. This symbol was not chosen in vain. Chintz is a thin and light fabric that perfectly characterizes the first year of family life. The spouses get used to each other, learn to live together, find compromises and solve their problems. Family ties are not yet so strong and can be broken at any moment.

Choosing the best gift for a man for any occasion
But at the same time, chintz is a colorful and bright material. In their first year, young people live a free and eventful life. Few of them immediately have children, so they can spend their time as they want: hanging out with friends, traveling, relaxing to the fullest.
If a husband and wife pass the test of family life with dignity and remain married, then they give each other symbolic gifts and invite loved ones to share this joyful event with them. From this moment on, the “probationary period” is considered completed.
Symbolic Anniversary Gifts
Although this category includes materialized things that emphasize the solemnity of the event, in the literal sense they are of greater value to their owner. Symbolic gifts include:
- A joint portrait is a magnificent thing, it is quite possible to make it with your own hands, but in the case where there is no ability in fine art, it is better to use the services of an artist.
- It will not be difficult to paint a picture from photographs; also, the customer has the right to offer his own subject for the composition, it could be an action, a remarkable place, just a joint image, etc.
- A book with a description of life together - there are services that have the ability to describe in detail the life of a married couple. Upon order and clarification of some details, an illustrated book is produced - and the images can be either in the form of photographs or drawn by master artists. The story of the creation of a family is presented in the form of a novel.
- The design also depends on the client’s wishes.
- Interior items. Of course, in this case the choice is limited to furniture elements or special design of the work area. However, such attention will certainly be to your liking.
- Video film. Creating a video in the form of a slide show of family photographs decorated with quotes from famous literary works, accompanied by your favorite music, will surely be enjoyed and will evoke a series of pleasant memories. There are enough instructional videos on the Internet on how to make such a gift yourself, but in order to save time, you can use the services of photo workshops or photocopying shops.

DIY Gifts for Husband on Wedding Anniversary
Things made with love and care have a special energy that protects a person from various troubles. Such items are especially dear to their owner, especially if they have the possibility of practical use.
However, there is also a nuance here: if a handmade item is an element of clothing - a sweater, mittens, socks, scarf, hat, etc., then naturally their owner will accept the gift more favorably than decorative and applied items that do not imply practical use - figurines, boxes, etc. It is also necessary to take into account that even if the thing is very beautiful and every effort was made in its manufacture, but it is inherently useless, then the usual path of unnecessary things awaits it - a balcony, a dacha, a garage, garbage, perhaps in another sequences.

When congratulating a loved one, you should be carefully prepared so as not to offend him with an unnecessary word or phrase; the same rule should be followed when giving gifts to your spouse.
The most ridiculous types of gifts that can cause negativity include:
- Money degrades a man’s self-esteem, and besides, basically the family budget is a common “pot”, it’s the same as giving your money to yourself...
- Kitchen utensils and appliances will probably not cause positive emotions, although...
- Often given gifts are shaving foam, eau de toilette, socks, etc.
- Gifts that don't spark interest.
- Gifts for show.
Considering all of the above, it can be noted that the above examples combine perfectly with each other. One gift can become the background for the second.
Of course, everyone has the right to decide for themselves how to celebrate a wedding anniversary - solemnly or modestly, with or without gifts; in any case, a sign of attention from a loved one will not go unnoticed and will bring a lot of positive emotions.
Inexpensive options
If the family budget does not allow you to give your spouse a trip around the world, do not be upset - your beloved spouse will appreciate inexpensive gifts. And it is not at all necessary to give another pair of socks or shaving cream on this day.
There are a lot of inexpensive and budget gifts:
- a mug decorated with a themed inscription;
- a T-shirt with an inscription describing the love of a wife for her husband;
- sweet gifts with themed inscriptions will especially appeal to those with a sweet tooth;
- You can limit yourself to a keychain decorated with an original engraving. A love declaration or a joint photo can be posted here.
