My girlfriend and I just celebrated our one-year anniversary. Obviously, I wanted to make it as fantastic for her as possible. This article is for anyone, man or woman, who want some tips on how to your significant other a great anniversary.

1. Go away

It doesn’t have to be far. We stayed in a hotel that wasn’t too far away and had a great time. As long as you go away. This will give you a level of privacy so that you can focus on them and not anything else.

2. Do something cheesy

I know the cheesy stuff can be a little over the top, but for your anniversary it’s worth it. For our anniversary, I took her on a carriage ride through Old City Philadelphia, and it was fantastic. It was romantic and going through Old City was beautiful.

3. Let them relax

Celebrating an anniversary is just hectic if you can’t relax for a little bit. I bought her a bath bomb, let her relax in the hot water and listen to some music. Even something as simple as that can go a long way.

4. Buy something

I like to celebrate us by getting her a present. This way she has something that’s special to mark the milestone. What I did, was I bought a bath bomb that had a ring in it, and it was a great surprise for her. Doing something like that will really make the anniversary special.

5. Make something

Making something for somebody on any occasion is a great sign of love and devotion. By giving your significant other something that you made, you give them part of you, and that’s huge.
