major_merrick Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I'm less than a week away from my first anniversary with my husband, and I am clueless about what to do. Christmas was just here, so I'm kind of tired of the whole gift-giving thing. IDK what to give my husband, and IDK what (if anything) to ask for. My in-laws give each other multiple presents and go out for dinner. My parents usually swore and threw things at each other. What do couples usually do? Link to post Share on other sites

d0nnivain Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 We have fun with the traditional gifts. As has been pointed out, 1st anniversary is paper. I gave DH a book & tickets to something. He gave me a book too. Over the years I have gotten creative. I think for example the 4th anniversary is fruit & flowers. I was stumped about what to get a straight man in that category so I bought him an accessory for his Apple (fruit) i-pad. Link to post Share on other sites

d0nnivain Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Give him a blow job. Blow job beats paper, scissors and rock Or you could combine both & give a coupon book (paper) that you make or buy of sexy favors. Link to post Share on other sites

Author major_merrick Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 Traditional first anniversary is paper. If you’re into that kind of thing. I had to look this one up...so I guess there's types of gifts for each year you're married. Never would have thought of that. My husband is extremely practical. If it had to be paper, I'd guess a giant box of toilet paper? A book would also work, but I'm not sure what to get. He has a huge library with practically everything. He did mention something a while back about wanting to brush up on his math skills, but a textbook isn't exactly romantic. Or is it??? I'm used to relationships with other girls, so I'm not sure what to do. As for me, I already got what I wanted (2nd pregnancy) so I mostly just want some time together just the two of us. Yes, we'll be getting #4 in February. But for us, weddings aren't a huge party like most people do it. It is church and then dinner and then going to bed seal the deal LOL. So, not exactly much of an invitation to design, or I would totally try. Link to post Share on other sites

L0nely Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Get a card and write a poem in it. even as short as a 5 liner, but its still comes from you. i usually write funny poems. Even if it's bad, its something to talk/laugh about in later years. Link to post Share on other sites
Author major_merrick Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 I ended up getting him a book (technical stuff) that I know he will use. But, he told me today that tomorrow night we are going to a hotel for some time together away from the others. I'm really looking forward to the one-on-one time, but I kinda feel like I went cheap on my end....like after knowing each other for so long I ought to be able to pick out something better.

Author major_merrick Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 Well, I got my husband a book for our last anniversary. I had limited time because I didn't plan ahead. This time, I'm starting early. I've already got Christmas figured out. Our anniversary is January 6th, so I have two full months. I'd asked for a positive pregnancy test as my present, and I got it early. I know the "theme" for a 2nd anniversary is supposed to be cotton. That doesn't give me much to work with, so anything goes. Ideas? Link to post Share on other sites
Artdeco Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Cotton apron, if he likes to cook occasionally. Maybe personalized with stuff printed on it that speaks to him. Link to post Share on other sites
