US meets UK

It’s the D’orsay first anniversary, as far as anniversaries go the 1st is a great one to celebrate but the whole paper thing? Well, it had me pondering for a bit. I know I don’t have to follow traditions, but I like having a theme as it narrows the field for decision making.

First up? A calendar modified from YHL’s template (thanks to Mrs. Bunny for modifying it for me)! Sadly, it was a struggle to come up with 12 quotes that would fit/look nice/have meaning. At first I had 12 quotes all from Superbad (long story) but figured while funny it wouldn’t be a very romantic gift. I sourced from our favorite movies, past emails and ceremony music for the final quotes.

Mr. D is into typography, design and he has a penchant for vintage design so when the travel book store near my office closed for business I popped in to say goodbye and to peek around. I found this deserted lonely transit map book and snapped it up!

The last paper related gift is the book of..um… childish adult drawings from the movie Superbad (again, long story).

So perhaps only 1/3 of these gifts will work for your first anniversary. I had also considered framing maps of our hometowns… but I had a really difficult time finding Mr.D’s village on a map that made sense. What are your favorite paper related gifts?
