Paper Anniversary Gifts | First Anniversary Art Prints for Couples

Everything on this page is a signed print from the Crum family studio in Fort Worth, picked for couples who are still deciding whose side of the bed is whose.

Art for the First Home

The first anniversary usually lands in the first home, which usually has at least one wall nobody has solved yet. Fort Worth Forever, Austin Forever and the Hemisfair tower are the prints for a couple who just moved to Texas or never plan to leave it.

Hearts, Lovers' Eyes and Más Amor

A crying heart, a sacred heart with a lover's eye, and Más Amor Por Favor in black and tan. Romantic without being a greeting card. If one of you is the sentimental one, this is your row.

Cowboys, Cowgirls and Full Moons

A cowboy and cowgirl under a pink full moon, a campfire for two, fireflies at night. Western art that works whether the gift is for him, for her, or for the wall you share.

Sets of Three for the Big Blank Wall

If the wall is wide, a set of 3 hangs as one gift and reads as a decision made together. Pick a set you both like and nobody has to say they liked the other one better.

Questions

What is the traditional first anniversary gift? Paper. The old list goes paper for year one, cotton for year two, and gets harder to shop for from there. A signed art print is paper you can actually hang.

Does a framed print still count as a paper gift? Yes. The art is the paper part; the frame is the part that keeps it off the floor. Prints come in standard sizes, so an 11x14 or 16x20 frame from any store fits.

Should a first anniversary gift be for him or for her? The best ones are for the house you share. If you'd rather let them choose, a Crum Art gift card is paper too, technically.

How fast does it ship? Prints ship from Texas within 1–3 business days, usually sooner. See the Christmas gifts page for holiday order-by dates.
