In two months, Erik and I will be celebrating our one year wedding anniversary. Time really flies!
I am having the hardest time trying to come up with gift ideas though, so I went to my good friend Google. One of the first results was for an About.com article, titled Traditional First Year Anniversary Gifts – Paper. About.com is usually decent, so I figured I would check it out. This is legit the list of ten gift ideas:
- Photographs and Picture Frames
- Books
- Board Games and Puzzles
- Stationery
- Tickets
- Paintings
- Coupons
- Love Letters
- Posters and Art Prints
- Calendars
It’s bad enough I feel like we’re an old married couple on a daily basis, but this article is suggesting I give Erik board games and paintings for our one year anniversary?! He’s 29! Not 92! Ugh!
I need help you guys! What are some great gift ideas for a first anniversary?
We can’t take a trip because we are going on a week long vacation two weeks later. Oh and he’s an IT professional so he has every gadget he could ever possibly need. I thought about getting him a watch because he doesn’t have one, but when I asked him randomly if he liked a watch in a magazine the other day, he made a face and said, “ugh I hate watches.”
Help :(
