Modern Gifts: 1st Anniversary

CLOCKS

The modern 1st anniversary gift is Clocks. Similar to starting a life together anew with a blank sheet of paper, so too can we observe the passage of time as a couple with this modern first anniversary gift. Time is infinite and eternal, just as it is with the love that we professed to each other when we got married. This makes clocks a fitting gift for a first anniversary!

Wireless Charging Stand

Gone are the days of the old-fashioned analog clocks with bright red numbers and an alarm that could wake a firehouse. Modern stands reduce nightstand clutter while beautifully displaying your iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods for easy all-in-one wireless charging.

Our 1st Anniversary Gifts to Each Other

Annie to Jay

For clocks, I gave Jay a new Bulova watch that he’d often wear to work or formal events. It was a nice upgrade from the more casual watches that he’d typically wear on a daily basis. And since he already had a few watches at this point, I also bought this nice storage and display case so that he could keep all of them organized in his closet. It was a great complementary gift beyond the clock category that he still uses to this day!

Jay to Annie

I also bought Annie a nice watch that she still often wears to this day. (When she’s not wearing a FitBit, of course!). It was a simple yet timeless gift, just like us!
