Our anniversary is tomorrow (oops!) and I have no card/gift/plan. 

What types of things do your DHs like? 

I don't want to spend a ton of money but I need to do something. 
Congrats to my TTC buddy Madeline! Cheering for all the strong 3T ladies!

    We usually go on a trip for our anniversary. Even if it's just one night, we try to stay somewhere and have fun together. Other than that, my H would like sports apparel or tickets but he's a crazy sports fanatic. I bought him a tie tack for his birthday since he needed one.

    I suck at this stuff. But yesterday was our "dating" anniversary and I got him Magic the Gathering cards (which I hate but he loves) and two packages of chips ahoy. Cheap, but effective. $15 for it all.

    ETA: This Saturday is our 1st wedding anniversary and we're not doing gifts. Just cards, fancy dinner, cake, and our wedding video.

    PS Happy Anniversary!

    @islandmonkey8  - we don't usually do gifts either. Maybe I'll just get a card instead. 

    We've never actually celebrated our anniversary with dinner or flowers etc so I guess there's no reason to change now ;)

    Recently, every gift I get DH we end up returning...

    In the past I have gotten him: Ipod, photo albums, a personalized stone for our front yard with our name on it, Aviator sunglasses.
    My go to gift for most people now is usually off personlizationmall.com - they have super cute things.

    @lb1117 That sounds like a plan. I think we may only end up doing bigger gifts on the big anniversaries every 5 years or so. We'll see!

    lol. you could always just do a mini gift basket with his favorite treats in it.  I do that for my dad when I've waited till the last minute for something.  I just grab a cute wicker basket and raid the Walgreens for fun treats. maybe even throw in a dvd he's been wanting. popcorn for movie night. who knows?!

    We've gone away every year (and will do the same this year). It's usually that and a card.

    For gifts in general, DH loves craft beer and good scotch, so I've done that (and home brew equipment). I've done concert tickets/sports tickets, video games, awesome decals for his man cave... Other things I'm sure, but now I'm drawing a blank.

    Our 3rd anniversary is today :)  but we don't exchange gifts usually.  Instead we do something fun together.  Since it fell on a Wednesday this year we'll be celebrating this weekend and I think we're going to go out for a nice dinner and then see a movie.

    Beer, beer, and more beer.  I like to put together six-packs of single bottles for him to try.  This year for our anniversary (last week) I got him a couple wood beer carriers to put his beer stock in instead of keeping the cardboard carriers.





    dx:  Unexplained IF (mild MFI)

     TTC since May 2011, 1 year trying, and then 3 TI, 2 IUI = BFN

    IVF #1 (May 2013):  Antagonist Protocol: 
    24R, 18M, 15F w/ICSI; 5dt of 2 early blasts, no frosties = BFN
    IVF #2 (August 2013):  Lupron Stop Protocol: 
    28R, 23M, 15F w/ICSI; 5dt of 1 partially hatched blast, 7 frosties = BFP
    EDD 5/23/14, blighted ovum (6w6d), D&C (8w6d)
    FET #1 (April 2014):  transferred 2 5d blasts = BFP
