Had our first-year anniversary last year.

Both me and the wife agreed that any money spent on anniversaries would be spent by means of traveling for both of us. Not a stupid gift to get each other that is utterly useless and a waste of money.

We ended up taking a road trip to a small town that is famous for a few things ~3 hours away and renting a bed and breakfast house while there. It was definitely a good choice.

Another year of marriage I guess. I have no idea what I got her honestly. Thank goodness we don't worry about such things any more.

I got my wife a peekapoo puppy to replace her old dog that died after 15 years, some flowers and I also made a card with crayons and some paper.

I gave her newspaper from our wedding day. As in one year old newspaper.

We follow whatever the traditional/modern gifts are for each year. Since it was paper/clock we ended with some of both. I got a clock for the kitchen that matched the theme she had picked and don't recall what we did for the paper one.

we went to NYC for our 1 year anniversary for a 3 day weekend. we did a lot there. didn't get her anything specific but we spent it together on vacation.

our 5 year anniversary we went to the FL keys which was cool, and our 7 year this past september we went to aruba. i love using anniversaries as excuses for vacations.

that sucks :(

but a little R&R somewhere else could do you a lot of good in a down time like that.

EDIT:

oh yeah i do remember i got her a gift in aruba this past year, nothing big, but 2 of the alex and annie aruba bracelets, 1 in silver, 1 in gold.

My husband gave me a Dreamlines sketch of my wedding dress. This is a great paper gift. My sister in law received one for their one year. I love this company and what they offer. We have been so happy with their work.

Going to take her to see Star Wars matinee and I got the bakery to get a smaller version of our wedding cake. She thinks it's awesome, good thing being married to a sensible techie. Pretty awesome that she thinks diamonds/jewelry are a complete waste/overpriced and doesn't want me to spend any money to get them for her.

I am confused... you a repeat customer? Why do you need a sketch of your wedding dress? Don't you have sketches from before the dress was made?
