Last minute ideas for a Seven Years Anniversary. *with a prize

Ok.

Before I start, let me just start off by abiding by the Anandtech rules. 🙂
me and my woman

OK.

Now, Dec 4 (tue) is our 7 years anniversary. yeap. SEVEN.

anyway, i have to go to my lab today because my stupid lab partner cannot tell the difference between an n-well and a p-well. AGH.

So basically all my plans are shot because i was going to go shopping for her and spend the entire day looking for something awesome for her at the malls. but i'll probably be at the lab until later tonite. 🙁

so here is where i need your help.

I need some ideas for her. She is not high-maintenance at all. I could write a cheezy poem on a cocktail napkin and she would love it.

Here is the cool part - if u submit your idea in this thread, and i end up using it, i'm going to mail you a Microsoft Optical mouse for FREE. That's right, FOR FREE.

So please send me your ideas - i'm going to try and check on this thread periodically during our lab testing breaks.

Oh ya -- that big guy in the picture is me! heheehe

Something I found in a bunch of famous quotes. I think its very.. special.

"Give her two red roses, each with a note.
The first note says 'For the woman I love' and the second, 'For my best friend.' "

I think she will appriciate that 🙂
 
Give her seven of her favorite flowers (for each year you have spent together) and a different one (like a gold rose) symbolizing the rest of your lives together.

And a letter/poem always works.

Whoa!

I had an idea, but I can't top that. 😀
 
i don't remember if i read it in here or in some magazine but some guy gave his gf a dozen roses and said i will love you until the last rose dies and it turned out there was one rose that was fake.

can we have a collective "awwwwwwwwwww" 🙂

hmmm, other ideas is to take her to the first place u went out. for instance, i heard of this one story where their first date was a movie. but obviously the movie isn't still showing in the theaters, but because the guy was loaded, he was able to rent out a small movie theater and have them play the movie that they first watched. for instance, u could say "hey let's go out to see a movie for our anniversary since we did that on our first date"...take her to the theater thinking she is going to watch "spy game" or something thats our right now (btw, if u haven't see it go watch it!!!) but instead when u get to the movie theater it's empty and when they start playing the movie u can have them show like a little note from you first wishing her a happy birthday and blah blah blah etc. and then have them play that movie u guys first watched.

so yeah, i think that's an awesome idea, but i don't really know how you go about pulling it off! hehe anyways good luck!

awwww, love that, much better than the second story 🙂
 
definetly write something for her, perhaps one of your first memories, when you guys frist met, or how you feel when you see her smile, or how you are in aww everytime she looks at you or says your name.


the ideas, with the flowers are great, but a more personal touch would be something which you wrote for her.



Also, something cool (if you had the time) was to take tons of pictures of you too, and make a collage(sp?)




dam(i could really use a new mouse :--( )

 
with my girlfriend after a year i remember our first date and tried to replicate it as much as i could

i wore (almost) exactly what i had worn, took her to the same theatre, rented out the whole screen (so we could be alone), tried to get them to play the movie we saw but to no avail, but we saw a movie she wanted to see, and had planted a few roses under her chair before she got there so when she sat down there was a surprise, don't have to do this exactly, i'm just saying try to bring back something from when you were first dating, my gf ate it up
edit: almost forgot took her to the same retaurant afterwards 😀
 
Here Check out the stories section and in there are ideas for gifts. There's also a list of traditional gifts (paper, silver, etc) for particular anniversaries in another part of the site. Happy anniversary!
 
take a group of sevaral roses, each a different color. since each color has a different meaning (i forget what they are - look for them on the net) and write about how each applies to your relationship
 
I'm sorry but for a seven year anniversary, a dozen roses and a note isn't really the best idea, even if she'd like it just because. Try for something a little more original that reflects the time that you've been together. Sorry I don't have any really good suggestions but roses for a seven year seems like copping out to me.
 
There's always the old seven bottles of wine, one for each year, with a bottle of something current to put away and age for the 50th anniversary (or whatever).

Or, if you have the kind of spouse I have, seven bottles of beer, each one a different brand signifying something special for that year written on a note.

Congrats.
 
I guess a seven themed day would be out of the question if you can't find anything more fitting:
dinner (7 course meal)
movie ("Se7en")
time (7 hours, just you and her)

😛
 
Some great ideas! thanks to the initial poster of the thread. Mine and my girls one year is coming up and the rose thing is a really good idea.
thanks,

Here's my advice. Get ideas from this thread, but in the end, I think it'd be better if the final idea was yours. You know her, her likes and dislikes, her hopes and fears, her wishes and dreams. Do something symbolic, do something special, do something for her because she's special to you.
 
got back from lab -- made the lab partner who FSCKED up do the lab. we made sure that he knew what he was doing this time!

anyways...........
dang!

great ideas here! i might have to send out several mice to u guys!!

keep 'em coming guys. i'd like to get more ideas!
hehe

Lotsa good ideas . . . but I have a sense of humor.

Get her a back scratcher (seven year itch) and wrap it up very nicely and present it to her. When she blows up, present her with real present - jewelry is always good, maybe a diamond heart pendant, or some earrings if she wears them.
 
Get 7 fine china (mikasa). Each plate will represent each year. Write the most memorable parts of that year on the plates. get some silverwear and engrave your names on it, and uh either keep the plates as heirlooms or actually use them (by cooking 7 special meals for 7 special days in "your special week."

btw is the mouse new?

 
wow, i really like the whole 7 day anniversary idea.

for each day you can do something special. including giving her a rose each day (i like the one where you give her a different colored one and telling her how it applies to your relationship with her). not sure if there are 7 different colored ones or what. but i'm sure u can work something out.

ok of course that's not just it! for each day, u can do something extra special for her:

day 1: cook her a 7 course meal!
day 2: take her somewhere that she knows u hate but that she loves (ballet? broadway? shopping?)
day 3: take her to the beach (u live in LA right?) and just take a walk by the shore, when was the last time u did that?? 😛
day 4: take her to a nice restaurant or you guys favorite restaurant
day 5: rent you guys' favorite movie and cuddle at home with popcorn 🙂 or possibly the first movie you ever watched
day 6: if u guys live with roommates u might not have that much alone time. rent out a hotel room for one night and just spend time doing who knows what :Q
day 7: take her to the spot you went on your first date or the place where you first asked her out or even the place where you first saw her. the fact that u remember that will be so touching 🙂

and with each rose u give her write a note as to why you chose to do that activity that day and/or why you love her so much. 7 years is a long time! if u aren't married to her maybe on the 7th day u should give her a ring. 😛 😉
