Give me ideas

Our anni is in a couple of weeks. We decided to follow the traditional gifts which is leather this year. Outside the box is good. All I have are new riding boots but that isn't very fun. 

ETA: I need ideas for what to get J.

Re: Give me ideas

  • Couch, purse, belt, wallet/wristlet, watch with leather strap, car with leather seats, leather-bound books, luggage, gloves.

    I'm not sure what kind of budget you were thinking so I listed a bunch of random stuff from cheap to really expensive (like the car...a girl can dream, right?)

    Photo bomb, yeah!
  • I have many leather bound books. My apartment smells of rich mahogany. 

     

     

    What about a nice leather journal?

    I'm not sure my husband would appreciate those things. ;) I ETA'd that I need ideas for him.

    He does need a new wallet though.

    I don't think he would use either. I wish I had a nice display bookcase because I would love some leather bound books.

    It's a satchel! Indiana Jones has one! 

     What about a nice belt with changing buckles or something? I got DH one that has a little screwdriver tool for a buckle.

    Yes! That's perfect because he just ripped his before deployment & hasn't replaced it. Where'd you get K's?

  • I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.
  • imageWishIcouldbeinthe'stan:

     I would go with this!! 

     Or maybe a wallet, but I know wallet is kind of boring.

  • I got Tim a straight razor and a leather strop.  He loves it.
