 I really wouldn't recommend spending lots of money..an anniversary is about spending time together, not buying each other stuff! Save your money for his birthday/christmas.
For our first anniversary we didn't buy each other anything, we just re-enacted our first date. We went bowling then had a candlelit dinner. (Then lots of sex which we didn't do on our first date of course :-))

a little too much? ya lol
exactly...keep it simple...nice dinner maybe a nice movie or a walk somewhere. Something relaxing, together, and not too serious as this is only one year. However, it is still special. If you do gifts allocate an amount for each to spend on each other. I once gave a crazy gift to a girl, and not jewelry, and she damn near fled from me because she thought I had bad intention, which really pissed me off as I was only trying to be generous and show her my feelings.

 I don't have a bf, but whenever I want a present to be really special, I make something, have it personalised or give someone something that you can't get just anywhere. I brought my mom a cool abanico (fan) back from Spain (I went there last year).

reader, anonymous, writes (5 October 2010): Me and my boyfriend never got each other presents. I'd say it was more of a 'do something nice together thing. Or basically just spending the day together.For example, something sweet like going back to the place you both first met. Going for a nice meal, one of you cooking a romantic meal for the pair of you, a romantic night in, etc, etc.Obviously you can get each other something. Maybe putting all the photos of the pair of you in an album or buying him something he's wanted for a long time. I'd say get him a card though. Or perhaps writing him a really nice, long letter explaining how much you love him and how great the year has been you've spent together.I don't know, it really depends on the person and how well the pair of you are together.Definitely make it a nice day for the both of you though.

 I think that the Realist had a great idea about making a special memory for your first anniversary by doing a new activity together. Afterwards, a meal and a small token to mark the occasion as a memento would be great! Perfect Anniversary! There are bracelets where you can add a bead or a charm for every occasion, and the beauty of it is, you always know what to get her the next time, once you buy the stater bracelet!

 If you want to do an activity that would also work out really nice. For example I don't know if you would be into this but its an idea, for my one year with my gf we went ziplining together which was so much fun and then we had the whole day together. Sometimes its hard to decide and i don't know about you but jewlery always comes to my mind but you have to remember that there is only so much jewlery one can buy for someone and really keep it special so I definitlely reccomend an experience over a physical object for the special day.

 There are so many things you could get him, but it really depends on what he's into. If he's into basketball then maybe buy him his favorite player's replica jersey, or if he likes to play an instrument then buy him an accessory for it, like if he plays guitar then you could buy him a new case to keep it in. If he's one of those guys that love to read, then you could go to a book store and ask for the most popular one at the time and buy it for him. It really depends on what he likes.Advice: Never buy him expensive stuff, that might just spoil him, and next year if you get him something cheaper then he might take it the wrong way. It's preferable that you don't spend too much on it, just make it memorable.If you guys are sexually active, and you don't mind at all, then maybe you could perform oral sex on him. That would sure make it really memorable, plus enjoyable for him. I'm sure he'll love you more for it. But that's just if you're open to do that kind of things. (Make sure he doesn't have any STD's, or you might make it a day YOU will always remember as the day you got an STD instead of your anniversary day with your boy.)I hope I was helpful, good luck!
