New here & need help!

Heyy ladies,

  so our first anniversary is coming up August 5th (holy crap its been a YEAR!?!?) and i don't know what to do!

We are saving for the down payment on our first home :) so money is a little tight but I would like to do something special for him to celebrate an amazing first year of marriage!

I dont know if I should stick to the "traditional" "modern" or whatever type gift (because he has NO IDEA that any of those things exist! But is now the time to teach him? lol) or if I should just get him something different or do we go away?

Grr help!! I'm open to ANY and ALL suggestions :)

TIA  

Re: New here & need help!

  • The traditional first anniversary gift is paper.  If you are trying to keep it affordable, you could frame up a nice photo of the two of you (wedding or otherwise).  A "scrapbook" of your first year of husband and wife?  A painting?  Good luck.

  • We have lots of pictures and I've already done a scrapbook for him a few years ago which is now in a box he hasnt unpacked since we moved a few months ago...

    i'm pretty sure steak and a blow job is the route I'm gonna take... now do I plan a night at home? or a night at a hotel in town?

  • We just went to dinner, then came home, ate our cake, and got drunk on cheap champagne.  Inexpensive, but we were both happy.

    Yeah - I'd like to retract my original suggestion.  Go with steak and BJs.

  • Thanks ladies! I have booked the honeymoon suite we used the night we got married and have a night of dinner and sexy time planned. Yep steak and a blow job is exactly the perfect present!
