 Anniversaries are always a special time for a couple—it is a time to reminisce and celebrate the previous year that the relationship has survived, and for the years that the couple must face together. A lot of couples say that the first year of marriage is the most difficult, so a couple that gets past one year (it could be an incredible feat considering that most marriages nowadays are short-lived) absolutely deserves to take time out from the tedious, everyday life.
Deciding on a gift for one’s spouse can prove to be very tricky, especially for men. While the traditional gift for the first anniversary is paper, deciding on the perfect gift can be rather mind-numbing. If you are a rather adventurous couple and don’t mind bending traditions, then these honeymoon ideas may just be the kind of gift that could turn your first anniversary into a daring and thrilling experience.

If your last getaway as a couple was on your honeymoon, then you are probably dying by now to have some alone time together. However, flying to Paris is out of the question because the whole trip can cost an arm and a leg (and you have only enough for half an arm).
Money may be scarce, but it hardly means that you have no other option but to spend your anniversary at home, watching re-runs of Seinfeld. It’s alone time that you want, so go get it—in the open road! Although a road trip may sound like something that you and your beer-chugging buddies way back in college would do, it can actually be a great getaway adventure for your first anniversary.
After all, it’s just you, her and the car—whether it’s just aimless driving or stopping by a particular destination, it’s an excellent opportunity to get closer and have some fun together while taking in some scenery. But then why scrimp if you can afford to splurge? For the true-blue nature lover, a trip to Madagascar can indeed be a wild one.
The animals that live there are not usually seen in other parts of the globe (Ninety percent, to be exact), and tourism isn’t a huge industry in this particular destination. This simply means that you are taking one of the less beaten tourist paths, and it’s a trip that only a few people can experience.
However, don’t forget to do some extra planning in advance so that the trip can be a comfortable one. Being adventurous doesn’t always mean getting down and dirty, and having sand or pieces of wood in your food. Sometimes being adventurous means trying out new things, like an ice hotel.
These magnificent structures which are made entirely out of –you guessed it!—snow and ice can be found in countries like Sweden, Canada, Greenland, Finland and Alaska where the climate is usually cold. The crystalline walls are works of art in itself—even the faintest natural light can turn it into a beautifully peculiar display that just can’t be found in a typical art museum.
