No, not since I don't know what the two of you have and like. However, I would like to add that my birthday is 6 days after my wedding anniversary and I only get one gift for both. (Grrrrr!)... Don't do that unless it's something EXTRA special!

My husband's and myself's anniversary is on the 24th of this month. We have decied for this anniversary to go for tradition, the first anniversary is paper. We are going to write letters to eachother about our feelings for eachother and our first year of marriage. There are great ideas on the net how to celebrate the first year of marriage. If you had a wedding ceremony this is the time you break into the top layer of your wedding cake and taste it together. Couple massages are a good idea, or taking her somewhere that means something to both of you. Like the location of your first date, or where you got engaged. It doesn't need to be expensive it just needs to be thoughtful with thought put into it.
Her birthday needs to be celebrated seperately, it sucks I know, and lots of work but it is always best for you in the long run. It keeps you from looking lazy or cheap. A nice dinner, or a day of pampering for her, calling her friends over to have cake and coffee over at your house, a surprise party. If she has close girlfriends call them up and explain to them, I am planning for the anniversary and need your help with her birthday. Most will help you out or give you suggestions, or plan everything for you. My neighbor's husband did that for his wife, he got two of the neighbors she is close to and told them here you need to plan a party for this date. Thanks, and there was a party on that date. Good luck.

First wedding is Paper and birthday together you must buy something made from paper but has meaning mate. Ideas are few but you could try wallpapering the living room when shes not there but guide her into picking the paper. Make a papeir mache mask of you both and hang on the wall. Sorry but thats as far as this old head goes mate. Hope it works out.

You could do like a week of gifts. They don't have to be something expensive every day, but give her a card one day, take her to dinner another and then maybe get her a nice necklace or something....Or maybe you could go on a vacation if that is an option and it could be to celebrate the wedding anniversary and her birthday!

Go on holiday! a week away will be like a second honeymoon plus some hotels do fantastic things for special occasions so ou might have to make less of an effort than you think! Try somewhere like Paris or Rome, a resort based on romance should speak for itself! If not think of something she likes, jewellery, nice clothes, then for her birthday take her for a nice meal where she will have the excuse to wear them!

Surprise her with a trip somewhere, so that way it will be the gift for your anniversary this way both of yous can enjoy getting away and having a "honeymoon" and for her bday you could buy her heart shape necklace with a pic of yous inside. Or a watch with a engravement in the back would be sweet.

Take her to a hotel where you can have 100 helium balloons filled each with a paper giving a reason why or what you love about her ...about the two of you. (For the anniv.) Then for the B-day send her off to get a facial and a pedicure before taking her out to dinner.

I got married on my 21st birthday, i have to admit it was a bad idea or maybe a good one on my husbands part as it was his idea, ever since i have only receive a birthday card.
So keep the dates separate even if its just flowers and chocs on the anniversary and you make the birthday special.

My husband's b-day is 6 days later so I understand. Do something that goes with tradition (first year - paper) I bought my husband a tree since paper is made from trees and do dinner. For her b-day then you can spend a little more. Plus, you can do little extras like give her a massage, etc.

Pack her bag with things she would need and take her on a surprise weekend trip... Chose the hotel in advance and have flowers and a birthday cake there already...
My birthday is on my parents anniversary.. its tough. Also my birthday is on 1/2 and it sometimes gets lost with New Years...
Be creative and have fun.
