Anniversary Gift

[Andrew Tollison 3]

My 2nd wedding anniversary is March 6 and i can not think of anything to get my wife. She is getting me Flowmasters put on my ST this weekend so I need something really good. What would be a good 2nd anniversary gift?

Congrats Andrew. Hasn't she been giving any hints? You should get her some new shocks for the ST. :lol:



Maybe jewelry?

Spa treatment like one of those day spas??

One thing that I have found that my wife likes is;

A three day weekend surprise. It does not have to be extravagant, just you doing it and not telling her what is up is all that is required.



Book a hotel room, set up some dinner reservations, tour an area worth touring, museum, historical sites etc etc.



If you have kids make provisions for them to be watch and let you wife have some nice personal time.



My wife loves our kids so much that she prefers them with us. After two days she is freaking out and NEEDS to get home if they are not with us.



But you get the gist of what I'm saying...

 

[Casey B]

I agree with chris. A day spa with a massage, pedicure, facial, etc...

Andrew...what the heck, wait until you get to 17 years and see how well the ideas flow!



I gave my wife impregnation for her 2nd anniversary, how about that?



Seriouosly though, the 2nd year is an interesting time. You are really no longer "fresh" newlyweds and now should be preparing for "the rest" of your life. Assuming you have a vision of a family and family life in your head, now might just be the time to share that vision with her.



Maybe a journal in which you write a couple of chapters about what you think your kids will be like, how you hope they inherit certain qualities she has (the better ones).



Maybe include a picture of you when you were a kid, and one of her too if you have access.



Something like that.



(ducking...ready to be called a WUSS now).

It depends... Is she the girly-girl type, or the tom-boy type? Honestly I'd be totally happy getting something for my ST for my anniversary, but most women don't think that way. -Heather

An EE swaybar?

 

[Andrew Tollison 3]

She's a girly-girl, I'd get her something for the ST but should would not know what to do with it. I have been thinking about getting her a new wedding ring. The one she has, I bought when I was working for a temp agency, and since now I am making about 3 times as much, it would be a good gift. But I still hav eno clue.

 

[Chris Kulbaba]

Get a PINK sway bar, you cant really see them, but she'll know its there!



Haha...



I am the WORST at gifts for my wife. I know its not what it is that counts, but I can not help from spending extravagant amounts on her on special occasions.... even them I am not satisfied it was a good gift.



Diamonds are a womans best friend, what about a necklace, or earrings, bracet?



I would say the origintal wedding ring should never be replaced, no matter how big/small it is/was... its the sentimental value that it represents... atleast thats what my wife says.

Ok, as a female, here's my .02.



For me, the cost of whatever is given is not important (to me...keep in mind). What makes it special for me is when it is obvious that a lot of thought and planning went into it. I mean, jewelry can be purchased on the drive home from work. But if you plan something nice and show that you've been thinking of just the right thing...then you'll be golden. Scott and I are saving for a wedding, so obviously we have to be cautious of our spending. Well, let me just say that this Valentine's day was the best, regardless. When I came home from work, he had set the table (with a red table cloth THAT HE PURCHASED! - I didn't even know he knew where to buy one!) and had the plates out with candles and a dozen roses. When I opened the fridge he had two small steak marinading. The whole thing was minimal in cost, but priceless in my heart because he planned it and even took extra lunch time to come home and prepare it all for me.



Again, this is my .02.



One idea I can give though, if you want something unique....send her a singing telegram that day at work or home. There are lots of places on the web that you can find that do it. Might be fun to add a little something to her day.

 

[Nelson Atwell]

Whatever you do...don't buy her a treadmill and vacuum cleaner. That would be the same as calling her a fat slob.



Seriously, my fiancee just melts over jewelry. Zales has some very classy stuff that isn't too pricey.



According to the list at the link I have included below, the second anniversary is cotton/china. She might be impressed that you know this, and if you don't already have nice china, it would be a lasting gift.

Women like to talk for hours about your relationship. Why don't you spend a whole day talking about your relationship?

 

[Gypsy me]

Gavin! then she'll think something is wrong ha ha!! Go with the spa idea
