First anniversary gift
A one year anniversary gift that keeps the year
Twelve months of firsts: the first trip, the first fight, the first time you knew. Put your two names, your date and that year on a brick on the Wall of Forever — and give them the link on the day.

What makes a good one year anniversary gift
A first anniversary gift isn't about price. It is proof that you were paying attention all year: the café you went back to, the song from the car, the joke nobody else gets. The best one year anniversary gifts are small and specific.
The traditional first-anniversary gift is paper. Every brick comes with a certificate of ownership — paper, if you print it — with your words on it and a QR code that opens the brick itself.
Your year, in a few lines
Write the brick the way you'd write the card: their name and yours, the date it started, and the thing you want them to remember about this year. Add a photo from the first trip, or the blurry one from the night you met.
They get a private link by email a few minutes after you pay. Want to hand them something? Since you wrote the brick yourself, you can print its QR card and leave it in a book, a coat pocket or next to the coffee — it works like a QR love letter, and they scan it to find your words. Rather keep it to two names and a date? That is a digital love lock. For the years ahead, here are the anniversary gifts by year.
On the wall
The small moment, not the big speech
Nobody needs a list of everything that happened. One moment from the year, told the way only the two of you would tell it, says more.
You can make the brick taller or wider, up to 16 bricks, when the photo deserves it.
Ideas for the first year
The day you met
The place, the date and what one of you said first.
The first trip
A photo from it, and the thing that went wrong that you now love.
The thing you call each other
Only the two of you will understand it. That is the point.
A promise for year two
One line about what comes next.
A song
Just the title and where you heard it. They will hear the rest.
Both names and a date
If words fail, two names and one date are enough. That is a love lock.
Write your brick
Your names, your date, and the year you have had. You add who it is for on the next step.
What is the traditional first anniversary gift?
Paper is the traditional gift for a first anniversary. Every brick comes with a certificate you can print, with your words and a QR code to the brick.
Can I give it on the day?
Yes. It arrives by email a few minutes after you pay, so send it when you want them to open it. Or print the QR card and hand it over.
Will anyone else see it?
The wall is public, so anyone could come across the brick. Write what you would be glad for others to read too.
Can I add a photo?
Yes. Upload a photo, place it on the brick, and add your names, the date and your words.
Does it ever expire?
No. The brick keeps its place on the wall indefinitely, paid once. It will still be there on your tenth.
How much is it?
From €5 for a single brick, paid once.
One year down, kept for good
Your names, your date, your words — on a wall that stays.
