Giving the same old usual gifts gets tiring after a while, so why not give something a little bit more creative for your next anniversary?

You don't have to be creative yourself and you don't have to make anything, but giving a gift that involves creativity is a superb way to make an impression and your loved one will adore it.

There are plenty of things you can give, without having to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in.

All you need are some creative anniversary gift ideas, so check our selection below.

Get arty with creative anniversary gift ideas

A popular gift at the moment is Warhol style prints. Many of the online photography companies such as PhotoBox offer these services. You simply send off a portrait of your loved one and it comes back as a large canvas in the style of Andy Warhol. It's a classic piece of modern art that will never date.

Of course, there are other photographic based gifts which are easy, inexpensive and make perfect creative anniversary gifts. You can turn your holiday or family photographs into books, calendars, mugs and canvases with PhotoBox. If you've got a large family, then this is great way to provide your loved one with a constant reminder of their treasured family.

On our parent's last anniversary; we gave them a calendar with recent pictures of their three grown up children, their partners and their grandchildren. They were thrilled and the calendar takes pride of place on their kitchen wall and is used regularly. It takes a little bit of time to put together, but is something they really loved.

If you like a bit of humour in your life, then why not consider a caricature of you and your partner? There are illustrators up and down the country willing to take a photograph and turn it into a humorous drawing of you and your loved one. Witty and fun, your partner will love it.

Pottery

Creating your own piece of pottery is simpler than you think. There are lots of pottery craft shops around where you paint and decorate a piece of ready-made pottery. Wedgwood offer a gift experience wehre you can do exactly that, and there are plenty of other lovely things thrown in.

If you're not that great with a glaze and a paintbrush, consider commissioning a design by the people that run the shop, or find a local artist to create the ultimate gift.

Glassware

The tradition of glass blowing is a specialised skill and there are still glass blowing centres around the UK where you can try your hand at glass blowing. You could create your own individual piece of glassware and then cut your own unique design and message into the glass.

Again, there are always professionals on hand to make sure your finished piece is perfect.

Do something creative together

You don't have to create your masterpiece on your own. Why not get your partner to join in? If you've always had a flair for art, painting or sculpture, why not try out one of the many painting courses around? If you're already a keen artist, then take your partner away for a residential painting course instead and brush up your skills.
