What to get DH for anniversary?

Hi Everyone,

I can't figure out what to get DH for our 1st anniversary.  I want to try to stick with the traditional "paper" gift.  So far I have thought of tickets to see his favorite band...but they aren't coming around anytime in the near future! Any other suggestions?  TIA and Congrats on your first year together!

Re: What to get DH for anniversary?

  • I'm in the same predicament, but I think we are going away for the weekend as our gift to each other.  I thought about doing the traditional "paper" gift, but he is not the sentimental nor traditional type.  So........sorry I can't be that much help.
  • these are the only two that i have come up with so far and i am not IN LOVE with either of them...

  • The tree idea is cool, but I'd want to be sure I would be in the house for years to come. 

    I got him tickets to Mamma Mia.  Sounds kinda hokie but he really wants to see it, and with a new puppy and a roof needed, it's not something he would splurge for.  The tickets to something is a great idea, is there another band or a show that he'd enjoy?
  • I am doing a MyPublisher book of our first year together.

  • Thanks ladies!  Good ideas, I really like the MyPublisher idea, hmmm...off to see if I can round up enough pictures to make it worthwhile!
  • I purchased a song book with the piano/vocal accompniment (I know I spelled that wrong) to the song we walked into our reception to.  --Beautiful day by U2--  I'm copying them and framing each page to the song.  There will be 8 in all.  DH is a HUGE U2 fan.  I know he will love it!!

  • I'm giving birth to his child!! that's my gift to him...and I'm going to pay for us to get a family portrait done a little after her birth w/our pups....since dh said he thinks that would be the cutest picture ever in our home as a good memory of how our family was close to her birth!

  • I just think we're going to go spend a night away.  No paper or anything unless you count the hotel room bill for the night, haha.  We'll be poor with a 2 month old on our anniversary, so probably won't splurge.
  • We are closing on our home on our anniversary, so our "paper" is the house deed and I'm sure we'll get each other cards. We have to buy a washer/dryer for the house, so there won't be a lot of extra cash for gifts. I figure the house will be worth it though! Sorry, I'm not much help!

  • The only "paper" we're giving is the $$ flying out of our bank account while we re-grade our mountain of a backyard :)
