Modern 1st Wedding Anniversary gift has a theme of Clocks

The modern 1st wedding anniversary list suggests the theme of Clocks for the first year anniversary.

We like to think this is suggested to mark the passing of all the seasons within the first year of marriage.

Although it is called the modern anniversary list this was first issued in the 1940s and hence the reason for some strange choices in the list is because they were popular then although nowadays they have lost a certain amount of desirability.

Modern 1st Wedding Anniversary gift Ideas

Popular gift ideas using the clock theme are the photo type clocks where you can incorporate multiple pictures within them, these are used to either display your favourite wedding photos, images of the past year or friends or family.

There is a specific clock style called an ‘Anniversary Clock’ which is traditionally designed for placing on a mantle, it has doom glass cover and the pendulum revolves rather than swings, quality versions of this type of clock are hard to find although a search of antique shops or even eBay will provide a lot of vintage versions in good working order.
