1st yr anniv gift

What did you guys by your husbands on your 1st Anniversary?

Ours is rapidly approaching but we'll be at someone else's wedding so we can't go away like we had wanted to.
I'd still like to get him something but I can't think of what!!

Share your ideas with me Ladies!

Re: 1st yr anniv gift

Since paper is the "traditional" 1st anniversary gift, I ordered him a custom calendar from shutterfly, each month has a different pic of me. They even let you put in custom dates, so I put in our birthdays, wedding anniversary and first date anniversary.

Other paper gifts I've heard of are gift certificates, scrapbooks, pictures...google it and I'm sure you'll find lots of ideas.

Re: 1st yr anniv gift

So far I got my hubby a card, a book that has words of wisdom from couples who have been married for at least 50 years, and a Harley Davidson ornament. The ornament is a joke b/c DH wants to get a motorcycle and I told him "NO WAY!" My STB Godson will be getting baptized on our Anniversary, otherwise we were gonna go away. We are going to go out to a nice dinner too. Hmmm... I still need to get him something else.

edit: spelling

Re: 1st yr anniv gift

I am having a hard time with the paper part. Hoped a card would do just fine b/c we are already spending our ann.in the city for the wknd.
He said he is giving me Mula for a new computer so that takes care of his 'paper' gift.

Re: 1st yr anniv gift

Ok UPDATE:
I did the paper thing.. and put ALOT Of thought into my card. I took a pic from our wedding photos and made it into the front of the card and wrote a well thought out personalized poem starting each sentence with the words

P
