I came to the conclusion a couple of years ago that I’m not a very good gift giver. I took a quiz to determine what my love language was and learned quickly that mine are quality time and acts of service, which is why I generally prefer to give gifts where I get to spend time with the person doing an activity that they’ve been wanting to do or enjoy. However, I really jumped on board with the themed wedding anniversary gifts by year. To be honest, David and I don’t generally get each other gifts because we opt for trips and experiences instead. This makes it even more shocking that we have stuck to wedding anniversary gifts. Here are wedding anniversary gift ideas for your other half for years 1-5.
Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas for your Other Half:

These beautiful Rifle Paper Co. lined notebooks
