Anniversaries mark a major milestone in every relationship. They show how long you’ve come together and mark a day that’s definitely worth celebrating. Especially when it’s your first, you should definitely make the day happy! Here are 10 ways to make your first anniversary special, without spending a bomb!
1. Go camping!
Instead of booking a luxurious hotel room, why not book a tent in an off-site location? Explore the thrill of being together when there’s no one around but the two of you, a tent and a gazillion stars to gaze at! Play some romantic music to make his mood even better!
2. Spa date
What’s better than a couples massage? That’s right, nothing! De-stress, rejuvenate and get some alone time to catch up. And maybe even sneak in a hot shower later? *Wink*
3. Dedicate him a song
Maybe even book a slot on the radio! If not that, take him to your favourite club and get the DJ to play a song specially for him as you bring in the night! We’re sure he’s going to be dancing with you all night long.
4. Treasure hunt time!
Leave clues, chits and small notes everywhere in his house, in his pocket, in his wallet, in his car, and on his office desk… Let him find them throughout the day. Make him complete little tasks that remind him of you and lead up to one memory or the other, finally leading to you, waiting for him!
5. A mason jar full of ‘reasons why I love you’
This one’s really cute and will make him go blush in no time! Write a 100 different reasons why you love him so much and why you’re so happy to be celebrating this day with him. Put all the little notes in a pretty as ever mason jar, decorate it with sparkles and glitter! Wrap it up in handmade paper and gift it to him.
6. Movie marathon
If you and bae love watching movies, what could be better than ordering in some pizza and watching your fave movies, back to back, in your jammies? And take a break to have a steamy makeout session, every time you complete a movie. Best date ever!
7. Fulfil his sexual fantasy
Become the hottest sex goddess he could have ever wished for. Surprise him with a sexy striptease or a role-play session he’s been dying to try with you. Trust us, ladies – you’re going to have one wild night!
8. Go out on a picnic
Re-live your childhood memories and go out for a cutesy, romantic picnic! You can get your favourite food packed and even take a few board games along to spend quality time together.
9. Adventure filled day
Don’t want to go the romantic route? Try doing something adventurous on your first anniversary together. Ice skating, go karting or bungee jumping… Get that much needed break from your routine and pump that adrenaline in your body!
10. Memory box
Movie tickets, the first-date restaurant receipt, something beautiful he gave you or something you wrote for him… Put it all in a cute little box, decorate it beautifully and take him on a trip down memory lane and feel all nostalgic!
