Anny Gifts?

Ok ladies, what are you getting your DH for the anniversary? I think it was discussed, but I'm going to devote a thread specifically to it. I was going to get him set up for a tattoo session, but it is apparently much too complicated so I'm near abandoning it. That gives me 1.5 weeks to come up with something else!

(Look at me being a big girl and using capital letters for once. So big!)

Thanks to our wonderful RE our family is complete!

Re: Anny Gifts?

  • Congrats on your capital letters, haha.

    We're not exchanging gifts, just cards.

  • I'm impressed by your capitalization! 

    I'm giving my H my b pic album.  I don't think he has any clue of what to get me yet, though!  I keep giving him not-so-subtle hints...we'll see how that works out.

  • A plane ticket = paper :)

    Since we're doing the honeymoon we're not really doing gifts. If we were, I'd be sooooo lost. I'm pretty sure we're going to make an anniversary trip an annual thing (even if it's little) and do that in lieu of gifts - so much easier and that way we spend time together and don't end up with a bunch of crap.

    That's a great idea.  We're taking a small trip this year - maybe we'll just count a trip as our gift to each other in the future.

    We're not doing Christmas gifts this year, so I guess it all evens out for us somehow.

  • We decided to combine x-mas and anniversary together every year since they are only a couple weeks apart. So this year we are taking a weekend trip at the end of January. Otherwise, just like it was already mentioned, we would just be giving each other junk.

    OMG this is what I really want!! I've been begging for a puppy but I don't think our 10 year old Lhasa would like it very much. 

  • You might be surprised. Older dogs can teach puppies sooo many good habits.

    Plus puppies are so darn cute :)

    lol you don't have to convince me, it's the hubs that needs convincing! He only wants a golden doodle though and they're pricey. We've adopted our last 2 (one sheds and one doesn't) and come to find out, he's allergic to shedding dogs. Unless we luck into a non-shedding shelter dog we'll probably have to buy the next one, which breaks my heart! 

  • Haha (ooo, more caps letters!), thanks girls. I guess I'm still stuck though!

    We can't afford a major trip (never have been able to afford it, and are still paying off hospital bills from the Spring anyways), though we will probably get out of town for the weekend to celebrate NYE/Anniversary as it stands. If we had gotten married any other day during the year, no gift wouldn't even be considered, so I'm not letting us use that as an excuse to not do gifts. Besides, I really want to start out with gift traditions from the beginning. I find that with us, we stick with whatever we did the previous year out of habit and complacency. I don't want that for our anniversary. I'm not talking big gifts-just small tokens of appreciation and overall making an effort. Besides, our Christmas celebrations are so very lowkey-we just aren't a big gift giving couple and never have been. I spent $25 on DH; he spent $22 on me (and I ordered my own gift! I can't wait to be able to use what was purchased!), we do so much for one another throughout the year that we don't really find that either of us really needs/wants anything come Christmas. Go figure!

    *Sigh* Back to the drawing board! I may take a trip to the tattoo shop tomorrow, if work let's out early, to see if I can work something out with them. Maybe they'll be easier to work with in person than they were over the phone! Here's hoping!

  • Is the tat place willing to do a gift certificate?  If not, maybe you can just make a mock one to give to your H?  Or do a Visa (or whatever) gift card in the amount you want with tattoo-related things so he gets the idea?

  • We're doing a weekend away at the inn where we stayed the wedding weekend - anniversary dinner at our reception venue and brunch in the harbor. I am super looking forward to it! Plus, the inn gave us a deal, we got the second night free!

    Besides that, I'm stuck. He hinted at getting me something, so I am on the lookout. Perhaps I can find a cool rare comic book or something...
