Uh oh. Has your wife or girlfriend started hinting about your anniversary? This usually means that it’s coming up soon. So here are a few ideas to help keep you out of the dog house.
Flowers
For the most part, you just can’t go wrong with a beautiful bouquet of red long stem roses and as a special touch you might consider getting a rose for every year of your relationship. However, if you haven’t been together that long, a standard dozen is still pleasing. Whether you send them to her work or bring them home to her, most women are delighted to know that you remembered your special day. Also, don’t forget the note. She will be impressed that you took the time to add a personal note telling how important they are and have been in your life. And this can all be done usually for under $100.
Jewelry
Depending on whether you’re married or just exclusively dating will determine what kind of jewelry. For example, if you’re married, diamonds and rings are the norm as a gift. If you are exclusively dating for living together, you may be the veer off into the realm of necklaces, earrings, and smaller jewelry. Although, diamonds are also acceptable and well accepted. They may send a signal that you’re not ready to send.
Date night
If money is strained, your partner might also enjoy a date night. Nothing makes a your partner feel more special than coming home from work to your partner cooking dinner and then watching your favorite chick flick with you. Even if it’s just macaroni and cheese that you took the time will impress and delight. However, if you burn water, ordering dinner in or taking him/her out to dinner is ok too. The point of it is to spent time with just him/her, to make him/her feel special and loved.
Breakfast in bed
There is nothing like waking up to your favorite breakfast in bed. Knowing that your partner woke up early and took the time and energy to make something especially for you is wonderful and special. This is also an affordable alternative as it usually doesn’t cost more than a quick trip to the grocery store.
Weekend for two
If you have the money and time available, a weekend for two at a bed and breakfast inn can be relaxing. Spend time together. Go shopping together at the local shops. Get a massage together. Just enjoy each other and the time you spend together. You will come back renewed and refreshed and possibly with a better sense of who your partner is and what they want from your relationship.
Final thoughts
So, those are just a few favorites, but overall the point is to celebrate the time you have been together and look forward to the time you will spend together. Your anniversary gift should reflect on that. Also, your anniversary is a milestone in your relationship. You should congratulate yourself and your partner for how far you have come.
