1 Year Anniversary GiftsThe Paper Year, Done Properly
The first anniversary is traditionally the paper anniversary, and the modern list gives clocks. A print of the real night sky over your wedding, or over the night you met, is both on paper and about the one year you are celebrating.
In short: A first anniversary star map is a print of the real night sky over a chosen place at a chosen date and time, computed from the Hipparcos star catalogue, with your names and a message underneath.
The digital file is $19.99 and arrives by email in minutes. Posters start at $39.99 and framed prints at $79.99, in 11×14, 12×16, 18×24 or 24×36 inches, with free shipping to 35 countries; prints are made in 2 to 5 business days. The preview is free and needs no account.

The traditional list gives paper for the first year and the modern one gives clocks. A star map covers either: the print is paper, and the wall clock puts the same sky behind the hands. Pick by where it will go; a print suits the bedroom, a clock the kitchen or an office.
The wedding night is the obvious night. If your story started well before the wedding, the night you met often gets the bigger reaction, because it shows you kept the date. The ceremony time is on the marriage certificate, and your phone photos carry the exact minute and place.
Keep the words short for year one: your names and the date, the coordinates of the venue, or the line from the vows that made people laugh.
For the modern clock gift: the star map wall clock.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the traditional 1 year anniversary gift?
Paper. The modern list gives clocks instead. Paper gifts that work well: a print of the sky over your wedding night, a book of letters to open each year, framed vows or the first page of your favourite song, tickets for a trip. For a clock, a wall clock with your wedding-night sky as the face covers both.
What are good 1 year anniversary gifts for him?
Something tied to your first year rather than to a shop: a framed star map of your wedding night in a black frame for his desk or office, a watch or clock engraved with the date, a photo book of the year, or tickets to something you did together early on.
What are good 1 year anniversary gifts for her?
A print of the night you married or met with your own words underneath, a necklace with the date or that sky engraved, letters you wrote over the year, or a weekend back where it started. Personal beats expensive in year one.
Our anniversary is this week. Is it too late?
No. The digital file ($19.99) arrives by email within minutes and prints at any photo shop the same day. Printed and framed versions are made in 2-5 business days and ship free.
