Anniversary gift ideas for a couple who met on Hinge

If you met on Hinge, you have something most couples don't: a written record of how it started. The prompt they answered, the comment you left on it, the first message that lead to a date. An anniversary is the perfect time to take a nostalgic stroll down memory lane.

The ideas

1. Your Hinge conversation, as a keepsake

Hinge lets you download your data, including your profile, your prompts and the messages you sent. Our Matchbook turns that into a private keepsake: both of your profiles side by side, the prompts that caught your eye, and every message from the very first one. Your partner adds their side and the whole conversation is back, in order.

Give it as a link with a note, print it, or (with a Matchbook) schedule it to arrive on the morning of your anniversary.

2. Answer their prompt again, a year later

Find the prompt of theirs you first liked. Answer it again now, as someone who knows them. "Two truths and a lie", "the way to win me over is", "we'll get along if": your answer will be very different a year later. Write it in a card.

3. Frame the first message

The comment you left on their prompt, or their first reply, printed and framed with the date under it. Simple, personal and nobody else can give it to them.

4. Go back to the first date

Same place, same order. If you went for drinks, order what you ordered. Bring the first message you sent on your phone and read it to them.

5. A "then and now" photo book

Their Hinge photos next to photos from this year in the same kind of place or pose.

Gifts for each anniversary year

• 1st (paper): your first Hinge conversation, printed. It's the perfect paper gift: a printed keepsake of your first words to each other.
• 2nd (cotton): a cotton tote or pillowcase printed with your first message.
• 3rd (leather): a leather journal for writing to each other, starting with the story of your first date.

Common questions

What's a good first anniversary gift if we met on Hinge?

Your first Hinge conversation as a printed keepsake. The first anniversary is traditionally paper, and nothing else has your first words to each other in it. Our Matchbook makes it from your Hinge data.

Can I see our first Hinge messages again?

Yes. Download your Hinge data and it includes the messages you sent. Your partner's download has their side; with both, you have the whole conversation.

Can it be a surprise?

Yes. Make it from your own Hinge data, then give it on the day, or with a Matchbook, schedule it to arrive at a set time. Your partner can add their side afterwards.
