5 Year Anniversary

[Remington]

Me and my wife's 5 year anniversary is tomorrow, June 21st. :shock:

I have not even gotten her anything yet! :roll:

Any ideas?

First off my wife says no jewelry and no flowers! :?

[tt3]

CONGRATULATIONS!

Wow though, no sparklers though huh? I had a stroke of genius last year and got my wife diamond earings. The jewelry store let you "upgrade" at the cost you paid for them, so I started small. When I'm at a loss for a gift (say Mother's day) I went and got the next size up! What a hoot...

Is she into art? Framed print?
She like wine? Nice bottle (that you don't already have :lol: )
massage gift cert, or the like

more in a bit, gotta send Val off to work ;)

A day at a day spa is always a good gift, or you could go the traditional way, as the 5 year anniversary is wood I think, so buy her a baseball bat, and hope she doesnt use it on you. lol, On a serious note Congratulations on 5 years of marriage.

5 yr is wood huh?
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
:lol:

(Sorry, I'll leave jr.high one of these years)

[mjknapp]

LMAO, It took me a second Tony, but i see where you are going, and they gave me crap for saying "boobies".

[tt3]

BOOBIES!
:lol:
It works its way into another thread!
Hey, Remington, sorry man, I'll not derail your thread, I promise.

Are you good with mushy words? Make her a hand made card (or computer made card)

I did this for my wife, it wasnt for an anniversary, but it would work just the same. I posted a note on the front door informing her of a night she will never forget, and a few instructions on what she had to do when she entered the house. After she walked in, there was another note taped on the t.v. explaining the rules of the evening, for example, she could not open the next note until instructed to do so by the last note. And I wrote a sappy love poem to her in each and every note, something about why I love her. The note on the t.v instructed her to go into the dining room. I had a candle light dinner waiting for her on the table. Then I wrote on the envelope of the next note not to open until she was finished eating. When she opened that one, it instructed her to meet me in the upstairs bathroom. I had a candlelight bath waiting for her there. I had another note taped to the bathroom wall, and on the outside it said not to open until after her bath. I washed her, and let her relax in a candlelight chamomeil (forgive the spelling) bath. Inside the note on teh bathroom wall, it said to dry off, and to meet me in the bedroom and be prepared. I knew she was thinking we were gonna fool around, but I had a different surprise for her. When she came into the bedroom, I had candles lit everywhere, and massage lotion on the bed. I had her lay down, and I gave her a full body massage with the lotions. I had a note on her pillow explaining how much I loved her, and appreciate her. Then I dressed her, and let her go to bed as I cleaned everything up.

This really surprisd her, and if you add your own little touches, it will work great for any occasion.

Oh yeah, another thing I did that worked really well.

I downloaded 6 or 7 seven love songs, one's that she loves, or ones that remind me of her. I made an envelope for every song, and I wrote her a letter on why this song reminded me of her, or the way I feel when we are listening to this particular song together. I put each note in it's particular envelope, and I burned all the songs onto a cd. I made her a nice candlelight dinner, and when she came home, we sat down to eat, I started the music, and handed her the first envelope. She read it and started crying. Then the next song came on, and I handed her the next envelope, she started crying again, and by the time the third song came on, she couldnt read the note without drying her eyes first. This one worked really well, as she still thanks me for doing this for her.

I am a true romantic, and I get so much enjoyment out of doing these things for her. I have alot more idea's, but I want to do them first before I give them away.

[tt3]

WOW :shock: :prayer:

I'm impressed!

[Don-Dad]

Very impressive!

Now that I think about it, we have not celebraetd any of our anniversaries. whoops, we passed 5 years last year, I think, hehehe!

[Remington]

Holy shamoly batman :shock:

That is way too fancy and romantic. I call a beer and a final belch fairly romantic if the kids aren't around. Better yet, if I smashed the bottle over my head and demanded my wife to take off her clothes, now that would top it off.

Actually I did what you did with a girlfriend from college. I gave her notes each with instructions. Of course it was not my ideas but my roommates. No wonder they ended up together after we broke it off... :D

She is not into art, or things that are showy. If I bought her a table saw she would be thrilled. Before we got married my alternator went in my Jeep and so she gave me a ride to work. By the time I arrived home she had gone to the parts store and gotten a new one and a Jeep Manual and had installed it herself. I just about crapped! :shock:

She says, "your alternator should work now.... oh and I changed the oil because you have over 5,000 miles since your last oil change.."

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

[tt3]

dang :shock:
:lol:

maybe a nice mossberg or a wingmaster 12ga?

[mjknapp]

That is a good woman, changing your alternator, but seriously, those things work wonders for a woman, She would appreciate something like that, I can promise you.

[mjknapp]

Another thing you could do, is try to find a hobbie she might enjoy, and buy her all the neccesary supplies to do it. It is a gift that will keep on giving, and if she enjoys it, she will thank you over and over again for it.
