Title: URGENT!!! Help lopakman pick out an anniversary gift.
Post by: lopakman on June 10, 2014, 03:48:41 PM
Guys, I know a lot of you are married, and combined we've probably had like a thousand anniversaries.  So when I realized that today is my ninth wedding anniversary, I immediately came here.  How do you say "Yes, I may have forgotten our anniversary this year, but it's cool because you forgot it last year?" 

The traditional anniversary gift for nine years is leather.  I'm not buying her another Coach purse.  But hey, I'm open to any other suggestions.  Time is of the essence.

Actually the modern anniversary gift is leather, the traditional anniversary gift is Willow and Pottery.

Something you can do together.

Get on stubhub and grab some concert tix or something.

If you are used to dropping Coach purse cash, get on Orbitz or something and book a weekend somewhere other than where you are.

Something she wants but does not yet have. Screw "9th is Leather" rules. Does she want a new hat, but not have a new hat? Then new hat. Does she want a new dining room table, but not have a dining room table? Then dining room table. Etc.

You should have been paying attention for the last month to subtle clues she was leaving as to what she wanted. It may be too late now.

Wicker: Picnic basket filled with a romantic dinner for the two of you at a nearby park.

Pottery: Go to a do-it-yourself pottery making place and have the Ghost experience.

Leather: Has she read Fifty Shades of Grey? Get her a leather riding crop.

I like this but we already have a weekend trip planned in August, and it's hard to find someone to watch the kids since we don't have family in town.

Stubhub, then.  Music, comedian, Cirque, etc.  What entertains her that you can do together?

Okay, I'm thinking spa treatment/pedicure gift card.  She likes that stuff and I can swing by day spa place she likes in Leawood.  Still be home by 5:30.  What's an appropriate amount to spend on nine years?  Man I hope CF3 is still on.  He knows all about this stuff.

That's a very safe, generic gift - which is fine if you are into that kind of thing.

That's not bad. 9 years, probably like $200.

$250 spa gift card.  $200 for the 9 years, extra $50 for guaranteed anniversary action.  Having a wife is God's way of sanctifying prostitution.
