Shopping for anniversary gifts is just not the same as it once was. The things that your parents bought for each other just don’t inspire the same joy and romance now. With changing times come changing ideas, and you may want to consider something a bit different when your anniversary rolls around.
For starters, intimacy is one of the most prized anniversary gifts you can give. Consider scheduling a massage together, or take a massage class and give him one yourself. You can study a few techniques and invest in some great oils. Similarly, you can consider gifts that remind him of your honeymoon, such as a gift basket with romantic products. If you are feeling a little risqué, then body frosting, an intimate board game, or a lover’s coupon book are all great gifts to include in the basket.
If your loved one enjoys music but never splurges on concert tickets, you should take him to see his favorite band. This might not seem like the most romantic of gifts, but you can be sure that he will remember it for years. This can apply to sporting event tickets, too, which you can couple with a gift basket full of team shirts, hats, and other themed gifts.
Jewelry still never goes wrong, but keep his tastes in mind. Give gifts that fit his style, such as a great new watch, an engraved ring, or a set of classy cuff links. Be sure to engrave these gifts if you can, so that he will always remember the occasion.
Lastly, if your finances are a little low this year, consider handmade gifts. Present him with a book of memories, or make a DVD slideshow of your best photographs. Any gifts that show him how much you treasure your time together will be greatly appreciated. If you are especially handy, you can create a new photograph frame to display on his desk at work.
