My husband and I will be celebrating our first anniversary soon and I am lost as to what to get him. I was thinking about going to the small resort town that he took me too for our first weekend get away. But I am not sure...

We've been doing traditional anniversary gifts for each other, too.

For Paper, we gave each other books, since it was the love of reading that brought us together to begin with. For "fruits and vegetables" though, we were kind of stumped. We ended up getting each other bicycles--mine is grape, and his is orange--with stickers all over them depicting fruits and vegetables.

Paper is pretty easy actually... just remember that you can add OTHER stuff to the paper. For instance... you can give him a photo of yourself... that he has to take at the resort that you mentioned. Airplane tickets are paper. So is an invitation--to anywhere!

The book "101 Nights of Great Sex" Author Laura Korn is paper. :o

Lol... sorry that comment is hilarious, J.

I agree on a book or ticket... maybe a concert ticket...

That is a great idea :) Too funny.

I am definitely leaning towards a resort weekend somewhere... or maybe a night at the spa...

Why not a printed invitation to the resort town? Maybe even hint about what you would like to do while there ;-)

Well, my idea may not sound so exotic now that I have read the others, but if it was me... a card with a hand-written love poem from the heart would be my gift.

Whatever you decide, I am sure he will love it!

Hugs, Didi

Send him a postcard while YOU are having a holiday ;)

I liked J's idea best.

So, our anniversary is today. He is still sleeping so I am here at AMHD. An addict I guess :)


Anyway, I decided to give him a book that I created and bound myself. It was entitled "Remember When...??" Remember when... we first kissed. And then continues through big happy times in our relationship. It ends with the first weekend getaway that he took me on.

I have set up a weekend getaway to the same hotel, and reservations to the same restaurant. Then the next day I rented a boat for a private sail of Lake George.

We are going in August... I already got him the Thursday and Friday off... gotta love it when the business partner and wife a good friends :)
