Not So Traditional Wedding Anniversary Gifts: Years 1-5
1st Year Wedding Anniversary
A first wedding anniversary definitely calls for a reason to celebrate. It’s an important milestone for any couple to achieve. If you follow the traditional wedding anniversary gifts then the first year is supposed to be a paper gift. Now that might not sound too exciting but this is where you can get really creative. Plane tickets, and concert tickets are both paper as well as the gifts we found below!

2nd Year Anniversary
The theme for the 2nd year anniversary is cotton. This theme is pretty easy considering a majority of clothing is made from cotton like robes and socks. But you can also think out of the box with this unique Cotton Candy wine!
