Decorate these cards of course with 365 reasons why you love your partner, add your personal decorative touches to make this a one of a kind romantic anniversary gift!

2. The Language of Love

If you're celebrating one year, two years or even ten years, this one can be tailored to meet the expectations of your romantic anniversary. Say, "I love you" in different languages! Make a card, if you've been married for one year then add 12 "I love you's" in 12 different languages, one for each month and so on. This is really a jaw dropping gift that you're loved will surely be impressed with. To impress them even more, learn how to say them too!

3. A Trail of Love

All you need are some rose petals that can be purchased inexpensively at the florist, leave a trail for your love to find you, scattered with various gifts and hints along the way...this is fun. You can also orchestrate this into riddles to find the next clue or questions about your relationship that will guide them.

4. A Trip Around the World

Think of twelve (or more) of the most romantic cities on earth and decorate a room using photos along with some accessories that remind you of those romantic cities. Look for some restaurants in the area that serve up some dishes from those romantic cities or cook your own! Lavish your lover with some luxuries associated with select places like a Swedish massage or a bath with oils from the Orient.

5. A History of Us

Make a personalised book covering all of the important occasions that have brought the two of you together along with the history of your relationship. Add photos, cards, stickers, love letters, every day notes, tickets to events you've attended together and anything you can think of.

6. Recycle Your Love

Have old love letters? Use them! Find an attractive keepsake box preferably with dividers so that you can categorise each set of letters. A terrific idea is if you only have a year's worth of letters, show how long you plan to stay with your perfect one by adding years up to infinity! Also place a new letter of devotion to mark the event and plan to pass this keepsake from generation to generation. Remember that paper is a traditional gift for a first anniversary too!

7. A Plastic Dream

Cover yourself with plastic wrap filled with sticky notes between layers with some directions, this one may be a little racy for some but it's romantic!

8. Coupons

Everyone needs a few guarantees sometimes; make a coupon book full of free hugs, free massages, free kisses, and bubble baths, cuddle times and in depth conversation times. Your lover will truly appreciate the thought behind this idea.

9. Beads of Love

Mark your anniversary with one of a kind jewellery; string your lover a unique blend of beads for a necklace, bracelet or anklet. Beads can represent months, years, dreams shared, eye colour, the number of children you hope to have or any of the dreams you share. Shaped beads can represent the stars you've both counted together, the cars you'll one day have, the moon you've slept beneath and all that your hearts desire.

10. Poems

Write a collection of poems that signify how much you adore your special someone. This idea can be tailored to fit 12 months or 24 months or write just a couple to represent the power of a pair!

11. Dream Journal

Write down your inner most thought, hopes and dreams, give this journal to you partner and tell them it's not complete without them! Each week take turns jotting down your dreams to share with each other, this is a gift that keeps on giving and one day when your journal is filled, you'll both be amazed with everything you've shared.

12. The Anniversary Outlook

Keep a box somewhere where the two of you have access to it, everyday add a dream of what you wish your anniversaries would be and when your anniversary rolls around, each of you should reach in to pick one piece of paper... store the others in a safe place for the future. The idea is that you both must create the suggestion on the day of your anniversary, set start and finish times for both so that you will be able to enjoy your creations.

All of these are truly unique, fun and romantic ways that are personal. Share your romantic ideas, learn from each other and celebrate romantically every year to build on the love you share!
