When it comes to anniversaries, many people struggle with deciding what they should do to celebrate another special 365 days with their significant other. No matter if this is your first or fiftieth year together, anniversaries are an important occasion that marks a significant milestone in your relationship — for it is a day that you get to celebrate your unconditional love for each other.
So, that leaves us with the golden question — what can you do that promises a day to remember, but doesn’t break the bank? Forget fancy candle-lit dinners and boring movie nights, because we have rounded up 4 of the best anniversary ideas that are sure to leave your partner speechless (in the best way possible).
Idea #1: Take a trip down memory lane by recreating your first date
For any relationship, the first date holds massive significance – after all, it is where your story began! So, why not take a trip down memory lane by recreating your first date with your sweetheart?
Reignite that spark by going back to the place where you first looked into each other’s eyes romantically. This is a simple yet great way to reminisce about the early days of your relationship and look back on how far you’ve come.
Discuss your recollections of your feelings and thoughts on that first date. Share your hopes for the relationship at the beginning — you might even chuckle if one of you wasn’t completely sure you’d end up together!
Idea #2: Make new memories by taking up a class together
If your significant other’s love language is quality time, it is likely that there’s nothing they’d like more than to create amazing memories with you. What better way to spend some quality time together without your mobile devices than to take up a class?
Spice things up by spending your anniversary picking up a new skill together as a couple. There is a range of options for you to choose from, including cooking classes, pottery classes and more. Select one that appeals most to you and have fun making new memories that will last a lifetime.
Idea #3: Have the time of your life at karaoke
Who doesn’t love belting out to your favourite songs and singing to your heart’s content? Whether you’re into the good old classics or the latest pop releases, there is something for everyone in a karaoke room.
Besides being enjoyable, the amount of stress that karaoke singing relieves is one of its greatest advantages. Since singing typically makes people joyful, it naturally lowers stress levels in the body. Endorphins are also released at this time, and they assist in reducing anxiety.
Idea #4: Enjoy a fun-filled day under the sun with an island getaway trip
That’s right, we have saved the best for last. If you truly want to impress your significant other, an island getaway trip is sure to do the trick.
Did you know that there are various islands full of exciting activities and scenic views surrounding our little red dot, waiting for you to discover?

Indeed, by simply hopping on a ferry, you’d be in for a fun-filled day under the sun, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
