How to Celebrate a Year of Firsts in Style

Every year, you make new memories, reach new milestones, and have “firsts”. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been together, these will still occur.

That could be the first time travelling to a new country, the first bottle of wine, or the first argument. Whatever it is, you can celebrate.

If your anniversary is coming up, a year of firsts gift is a truly wonderful idea. Here are some of my favorite little gifts to buy each other. Then, keep reading for some fun ways to use them!

1. Year of firsts gift tags 

How amazing are these gift tags – you can attach them to any other sentimental items you may have bought – including wine bottles? Just an idea.

They say things like “first dinner party” and “first home”. You can personalise them for your own little milestones. I’ve seen people attach these to jars of sweets, date night prompts, and other little gifts.

I also love them because they actually give you ideas you may not have thought about, like your first dinner party.

2. Poem tags 

A little bit similar to the tags above, but these include a lovely little poem. If you want to add a little more pizazz, these are a great little addition.

Of course, they are wine tags, but you can use them to tag, quite literally, anything – the possibilities are endless.

3. Floral year of first tags 

The same concept as above, but with a lovely little floral design. The major difference, this set only comes with 4 gift tags. So, I’d also grab of the others for all your other year of firsts celebrations.

4. The year of firsts basket tag 

Why not fill your own basket up with your very own year of firsts? With this gorgeous “main” tag, it can become a nice little piece of decor.

I actually think this would look amazing on the side of a jar. When you reach a new milestone or something new happens, write it down on a little piece of paper and put it in the jar. Every now and then you can pick out some of those special memories.

5. Year of firsts wine labels 

This is one of my favorite year of first ideas. Stock up on some wine of your choice, and stick a label on them. Take these examples “First anniversary” and “First Christmas” – when that milestone comes around, crack the bottle of wine open and celebrate.

Please keep in mind these are PDFs, and you will have to print and stick them yourself.

6. One year down notebook

How cute is this notebook? You could consider writing down all your firsts in this book. Alternatively, you write them down as the year goes on, and give it as a present on your anniversary. It’s so thoughtful.

I would buy two, one for each of you. After each first, you both write down your thoughts/feelings about the day in your own journal. Then, swap them on your anniversary.

7. Year of dates

And a notable mention – this cute little year of dates box, which I just had to share with you all. It’s filled with an entire year of date night ideas. Remember, every single date is technically a “first,” since it’ll be your first time doing it as a married couple.

It comes in multiple colors and styles, so you can personalize it for a gay or lesbian couple.

A Year of Firsts Ideas to Celebrate

So, with my little gift ideas out of the way, what are some “year of firsts” ideas? I’ve compiled a list, do you don’t have to. Here is my year of firsts list:

• First Home
• First New Years
• First Thanksgiving
