Married peeps

[Kris]

What did you get your missus / fella on your first wedding anniversary?

I'm stumped at what to get the wife, all I know is that paper is traditional but what exactly? A folded tenner in the card?

Ideas please people!

I'd go for a voucher for a spa day out or similar, a bit of pampering goes a long way.

Cheers

Cool, some good ideas so far.

Any more?

If it helps we may be on holiday on the date of our anniversary, perhaps in Spain / Portugal...

I did her a treasure hunt around the house following clues written on, you'll never guess.... yup, paper.




She even found her prize at the end... a kinder egg with a toy inside. I could never understand why she wasn't as happy as I thought she would be on finding that.

It's our tenth anniversary this year.
For our eighth as a suprise I took her to London to see Stomp and stay in the Savoy. For our ninth I gave her a baby, what the hell do I do for our tenth that tops that!?

So lesson from this is start off very cheap and work your way upwards, if you reach the limit too soon like me then the next 50 anniversaries will be buggered!

If you have the time.....make her a bunch of roses out of paper. I'm currently making my bouquet for my wedding....looks fab.

If you're feeling rich...you can use £5notes to make?

Loads of origami video's on youtube. Just search for origami rose.

Here's one I made earlier
(not my hand......before anyone thinks I have man beast hands)

Hmmm, paper huh?

Toughie that. What's made of paper, that you can give as a gift....




Book?

MrsGixer managed to forget our 1st anniversary, whereas i made quite a bit of an effort.
This now stands me in great stead for doing absolutely feck all for any subsequent anniversaries, as i can just wheel out the 'well at least i didn't forget our 1st' excuse - it's like a 'get out of jail free' card, only better.

Why the FUCK shouldnt I expect something decent for my first anniversary?

Why the hell is a bloke expected to put all the effort in? I get great enjoyment from sorting out surprises and shit....but fuck me, I'd quite like a surprise myself in a while.

And I get the feeling half the lads here didnt get anything quite as swanky in return.


Anyone says tradition, I swear to lucifer I will do naughty things that are not pleasurable to you.

Hi, my first anniversary is on the 19th July.

I already know she's got me a brand new Yoshi Exhaust for my DRZ400.

I'm just on Moonpig now to get her a card.

Start as your mean to go on.

We dont give each other presents on our anniversary. We tend to go out somewhere for a nice meal and stay in a nice posh hotel the night.

Suits me as I'm crap at buying presents!

I forgot our first wedding anniversary and the week before that I bought my new bike on her birthday .

Fair to say I was not the most popular face around the house for a while. I made it up though because I did feel genuinely bad about it. What she doesn't know is that she is getting carbon Termignoni cans for x-mas
