So our first anniversary is coming up, I actually just realized it's in two months! ha Does anyone try and do the "traditional" gifts? Any good ideas for 1st year...paper? I know I could easily make something, I'm just unsure of what I could do.
In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
T-TTC since Dec 2008. PCOS/nonexistant cycles(anovulation) and endo. HSG in '10 revealed both tubes blocked. Lap surgery in Dec '10 to correct. Failed Clomid/IUI and injectable(Bravelle)/IUI cycles so far.
We never do gifts, but I would frame something as a gift. DH loves getting stuff to put up in his mancave. Does he have a movie or book he loves that you could frame the cover of?
Or tickets to a game sounds like a winner too.

I like the idea of tickets. But that would end up being more for me since baseball is back in March! ha. I'll have to see if there is a concert or something
We went on a trip that we both were looking forward to. A Football game, concert, and just fun trip. Technically the tickets worked for the paper. Wasn't even thinking about it until later, so I was like, score. Tickets for March are still a gift. We did that for his Bday once, tickets for like 6 months later. Happy Almost 1 year!!!

We at least try to incorporate something of the traditional material as part of our anniversary gifts. I got DH tickets to a Flyers playoff game for our first anniversary (lucky for me they were in the playoffs!).

Print of a wedding photo?
Divorce papers?
