1 year anniversary gifts
I can't believe it is almost November!! And worst of all I have no clue what present to get DH. We said we wouldn't go crazy and yet I can't think of a thing. I am usually much better about this stuff. We plan to go to dinner.
Are you getting your DH anything for your anniversary?
Re: 1 year anniversary gifts
H and I haven't swapped gifts in, oh, 5 years? We still do something special for our anniversary (our dating anniversary was November too) and birthdays, but no actual gifts.
It seems silly, to us, since all of our finances are merged. It's usually more of a "oh, I've been wanting this for awhile. I'm going to splurge on it for my birthday" than anything else.
That being said, one of H's friends is getting married in Milwaukee the weekend of our anniversary. We decided to make a mini-vacation out of it, so we found a fancy hotel and we'll spend a few nights there.

DX: PCOS/Recurrent losses/MTHFR mutation (compound hetero)
5 hysteroscopies/2 surgical
3 Inject IUIs = 2 m/c's and 1 BFN
IVF #1= BFP. m/c at 7w6d. Needed 2 D&C's and scar tissue removal. Mild OHSS
IVF #2 = BFP. Severe OHSS. 4 Drainings. TWINS!
I don't think we're planning on exchanging gifts. Well, DH was supposed to be getting me another ring (I only have my wedding band and he promised me another ring for our 1 year anniversary). So we'll see if that happens.
Other than that, I think I'm going to book us a room at a hotel in downtown Chicago and we'll spend the day in the city. We haven't actually done that as a couple ever.
I am so jealous right now! I really wanted to do a vacation - even a small one - but with DH's school schedule it just isn't gonna happen this year.
I'm getting him a new gun... redneck, I know. But, a couple of months after we got married, he told me how his mom gave his dad this certain kind of gun for their first anniversary, and he wishes he had it now (his dad is deceased) and how it'd be neat if I got him the same kind for our first anniversary... so I am. I don't think he even remembers having that conversation though - I'm hoping he's super suprised!
I mentioned presents last night, and he'd totally forgotten about the need to buy an anniversary present. He said if I want something, I have to tell him what to get, because he's not good at getting presents. This is petty, but I'm a little sad because I kind of wanted him to just think up something on his own. But, that's not the guy I married, so I better get over that huh!
I totally feel you here - hubby usually asks what I want, and I give him several options of things I've been eyeing when it comes to b-days or christmas. It for sure gets old at times.
For our anniversary we're going to dinner at the restaurant we had our reception at - but we're not really doing gifts this year. I cant believe how fast the year has flown by!

I just saw your sig - I'm so sorry for your loss. If you haven't already, the MC/PL and TTCAL boards were an absolute God-send for my miscarriages.
I have 2 ideas for DH:
1. Find the sheet music from our first dance and have it framed
2. Found this on etsy: http://www.etsy.com/listing/72210652/1st-anniversary-paper-anniversary Using the lyrics from our first dance song and a photo of us during our dance. ....considering this more since someone else is doing the work
Aruba is one of the best islands ever! I really hope to go back one day. Enjoy the gorgeous weather!!
I love this! I never saw anything like that before
Thank you. I have actually been a few times but H hasnt. We really need a vacation so we are looking forward to it.

We're not, in stead we're splurging all of our "free" fundage on relocation to North Carolina. Dave got a job (halle-freaking-lujah!), so two weeks from today, we'll be moving halfway across the country.
Of course, I have every intention of buying him a little something, but I know he's so wrapped up in finding a house and packing our cr@p that he will forget we even got married. Very single minded, that one.
And for those ladies whose husbands aren't capable of "figuring it out" for themselves, I feel ya. Well, I mean he can find the PERFECT gift without my help... but he has to then IMMEDIATELY give it to me. Can't keep a surprise to save his life.
Big, big like the moon...
Congrats in the new job for him! And that's a big move! Are you excited? nervous?
that's a great gift! In fact that's what I wanted for some occasion last year, and guess how slow I am? I already had it and didn't know!!!!!! It came with my car which I had for almost 5 years at that point!!!!! UGH! At least for a few of those years I had a heated garage in our apt building and wouldn't have been using it, but that's no excuse for my stupidity really. DH said he still gave it to me as a gift since he figured it out LOL

We just got back from our honeymoon/anniversary trip. We went to Peru (DH had always wanted to go there, and I love traveling just about anywhere) and it was great! We did a lot of hiking, saw some really interesting things and places, met some great people along the way, and the food was AMAZING!
For our actual anniversary next week, we're going out to dinner and having cake from the place that did our wedding cake. I might get DH a card, but his birthday is in a few weeks, and then there's Christmas, so I'll save any gifts for then.
