1st Anniversary - intro
Good beautiful, cold Tuesday morning to everyone!!
I hope the day is treating everyone well! I need some suggestions/ideas.
My husband and I are coming up on our 1 year anniversary in Feb. We have known each other since h.s. We lost touch for years and then he found me and we began dating in 2009. Got married in 2010 and the rest, as they say, is history. Love, love, love that man!!
My dad just let us know he's flying us to Destin, FL for our 1 year and is getting us a condo for 2 nights (yaaay dad!) and my husband is planning on getting me a gift..a purse or a concert, he said it's my choice. I have NO idea what to get him. I'm at a loss. With Christmas just past I gave all my good ideas to him then...sooo any suggestions would be fantastic.
I think I need to get a sex book too, get something new out there for our 1 year...thoughts on that? we are pretty boring in bed and he has said in the past "wanna try somthing new"....I'm like, uh, NO, but I think the time has come. We are both in our 30's and have had a rough past year with 2 miscarriages, the latest in December, so we are trying to reconnect after the latest loss and move forward for our future. Anyway, any ideas, thoughts, suggestions for an awesome weekend would be greatly appreciated.
Hope everyone has a kick a$$ 2011!!
Re: 1st Anniversary - intro
Happy Anniversary! If you want to get a book, try an illustrated kama sutra book. I gave one to my best friend for her lingerie shower and I ended up buying one too. Some of the positions are difficult unless you're very limber, but there were tons of good ones that anyone can do and they are fun to try out. We added some to our list of favorites! Plus it had good tips for spicing up foreplay too.
Happy Anniversary! I understand about giving all the good ideas for Christmas. DH's birthday is in February, so I run into this problem every year. For instance, he's going to Europe for 3 weeks this summer, so for Christmas I got him all kinds of travel accessories he needed. I wanted to buy him a travel alarm clock, but he said he had one at his mom's house so he didn't need one. He has since looked everywhere in his mom's house and can't find it. I told him great, I'd buy him a new one for his birthday as part of his gift. Turns out, right before he told me he couldn't find it, he went online and ordered a new one.
So now I have no idea what I'll get him.
Thanks for the great suggestions! I think I'll order a book online and take it with us. I may have to try and find some lingerie although that's really not at the top of my list by a long shot.
You sound like me with not knowing what to get. I am going to have to take him window shopping I think to get any ideas. I hate to get the same ol same ol for our first anniversary, but I want him to have what he wants. His wedding ring got stolen, (the lady that sometimes cleans our house "lost" it...it was on the counter that morning!! He's a welder so he doesn't always wear it because of the work he does...)I was going to try to replace it for him by then but not sure if that'll work out.
That would be a good idea, if it works out. DH and I didn't get eachother gifts for our 1st anniversary, this last July. We went away on a trip instead. We're going away to Florida the weekend before his birthday, we're going to Florida, and I'm starting to think about getting him a painting while we're there. We picked up 2 while we were in Scotland for our honeymoon, and keep talking about adding to our collection. Who knows though? I'll probably change my mind between now and then. lol
