The Cool Clock Shop has loads of interesting clocks, too - this contemporary "Techno Ivory" wall clock is also available as "Techno Brown," and this hand made boat table clock is a beauty. Of course, it's hard to go wrong with a traditional clock for wall, mantel/table, or floor. But a "clocktail" table will be the real conversation starter and an entertaining one year anniversary gift.

Theme clocks are great 1st anniversary gifts, available in enough variety to please everyone. Some clocks have a theme-related picture on the clock face; others are actually shaped to resemble objects of special interest or are mounted on statuettes of those objects. And some make theme-related sounds on the hour.

For something a bit different, how about another sort of timekeeper? - perhaps a fancy timer like a countdown clock to mark the time until their next special occasion. Or, you could order a custom crafted hourglass with beautiful inlays - a one year anniversary gift that could become a collector's item.

Don't forget to consider a pedestal or wall-mounted sundial... a fitting traditional inscription for this one year anniversary gift: "grow old along with me, the best is yet to be." For the very latest in modern 1st anniversary gifts, this digital sundial is way cool - it can be used outdoors or inside a sunny window, and none of your recipients' friends is likely to have one!
