Get your husband a Christmas gift he will treasure.
Your first Christmas as husband and wife is a special and memorable time. Show your husband how much you love him by giving him a thoughtful gift for your first Christmas. Reflect on your first months of marriage---you can even incorporate memories of your wedding into your gift. Choose a gift that allows you and your husband to spend time together and continue to build your marriage. A loving Christmas gift will leave your husband happy that he said "I do."
Scrapbook
Look back on your time together as husband and wife by creating an "Our First Christmas" scrapbook. You can make the scrapbook at home or create a photo book you can print from a number of sites online. Collect pictures from your wedding up until your first Christmas together. Place pictures in chronological order so that you can walk down memory lane and reminisce about your first months as husband and wife. Write thoughtful notes beside the pictures, telling your husband how much you love him. He will appreciate your effort, and you will both enjoy looking at this gift for years to come.
Second Honeymoon
Surprise your husband with a quick getaway to enjoy a second honeymoon. Relive those romantic moments from your honeymoon, and add some spark to your new marriage around the holidays. Depending on your finances, you can choose something simple or extravagant. Find a nice hotel in your city and spend a night there for a romantic night together around the holidays. Or, if you're willing to splurge a bit, look for a nearby area for a weekend getaway. A quick trip to the beach or a ski resort or the mountains can even further energize your marriage. You and your husband will enjoy getting away from the holiday stress and spending quality time together. You'll feel like honeymooners all over again.
Paper Gifts
The traditional first anniversary gift is paper, so you can follow this trend for your first Christmas gifts as well. Get him tickets to his favorite team's game or favorite musical artist's concert. Buy him a pack of his favorite cigars. A book might not seem like a personal or extravagant enough gift for your husband, but play on the book idea and get him an electronic reader. That way, he can download all of his favorite books and read them in a high-tech way.
