Ten-year anniversary gift


Posted: Nov 11, 2009

In December, my significant other (BF sounds so young) and I will have been together 10 years.  We are both 51 and basically get anything we want when we want it.  He is not the type to wear jewelry except his college ring and a watch (which I got him 5 years ago) and he has anything and everything for his favorite college team.  I was thinking about doing a collage of pictures from the trips we have taken in our 10 years together in a nice picture frame, but not sure.  He is not really the sentimental type at all.  Anybody have any ideas.  He really does not have any hobbies other than watching his team, which he has season tickets for (both b-ball and f-ball), and working (he is a manager for a company).  Help.  I am not the most imaginative person in the world and really need some ideas, other than getting him the stuff that I normally do - clothes (which is all he will ever tell me) and the occasional book that I think he would like.


Thanks for any and all suggestions.

My husband and I have been married about that long. He never wants me to buy clothing, anything personal, etc. and so he is hard to think of something to get but 1 time for his b'day knowing he likes beers I went to the package store and got probably 15-20 different kinds of beers from places other than your usual Bud and he liked that. Food is a good choice for him and this past year I went to gourmet place and bought all kinds of cheeses, crackers, beer (again), wine and the like. That was also something he enjoyed. Now if he would only remember I am supposed to be getting those anniversary gifts EACH year and I told him they are mounting up fast.

You could take those pictures and have a video montage created. I did that for my husband for our 5th anniversay and he loved it :)

One Year Anniversary AND BLM ContinuesAug 09, 2015
The death of Michael Brown or the visibility of the Black Lives Matter movement.

I think he would have made a different decision if he were not racist. IMO, if that had been a white person in the EXACT same situation, he would have lived through the situation. So, I have read lots of opposition to that line of suppo ...

Any Ideas For 25th Anniversary Weekend?May 03, 2012
We are taking a week's vacation at the beach with our children and grandchildren in June.  We split the cost of a beach house.  Everyone has a nice place to stay on the beach, much cheaper when cost is divided. Our 25th anniversary is coming up in October, and my husband and I would like to take a vacation without the kids.  It will only be a 3-4 day stay over a weekend because of limited time off for both of us, and of course limited funds since we will be paying for everyt ...

I can't help but remember back to this time two years ago when he was still with us.  Please pray for our soldiers fighting now, that they come home to their families safely. I know that my husband rests in the loving arms of Jesus and I know that though he can no longer come home to us, we will some day go to him.  Thank you and God Bless you all.  ...

Going Away GiftJun 01, 2010
What do you give to someone as a going-away gift that you've only known for five months?  She's a very nice person.  We didn't spend a whole lot of time together, mostly just at school functions, and a couple of times outside of that, for coffee, but with a group, not just her and me.  Is it even appropriate that I get her a little something?  I've been invited to a little going-away luncheon for her tomorrow and I don't have any idea.  Flowers m ...

Worst Gift Ever?Dec 06, 2010
I got this from another board and it was actually funny to read. When we got married 18 years ago we got a plunger from my mom's friend thou she did get us another gift also that one was just funny. We got margaritia glasses and neither us were old enough to drink either. I used those for dessert glasses for a bit but ended up over time breaking them. I can't think of any really really bad gifts but those 2 stick out in my mind for some reason. So what has been yours? ...

A Husband's GiftFeb 28, 2010
Dear Diary, For my birthday this year, my husband purchased for me a week of personal training at the local health club. Although I am still in great shape since being a high school football cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try. I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Christo, who identified himself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear. Friends seemed plea ...

Graduation GiftMay 16, 2013

ONE GREAT IDEA!!!

There is no longer an excuse that, at giftgiving time, nothing can be found that is produced by A ...

He says, Please, my treat, I insist! How could anyone say no! So I say vanilla. And he sends his assistant, who brings me back a giant chocolate milkshake. Which is the last thing I feel like eating, but I take it, to be polite. And give it to a family member. Who wants something frozen tou ...

White Elephant Gift ExchangeDec 09, 2011
We are invited to a white elephant party this weekend. Have never gone to one before. I did a search and it seems like people like to do funny gifts. I'm not that clever and my husband suggested we give a wine rack (wood top and bottom with black metal center - holds nine bottles) that we were going to send to Goodwill. At a party last weekend the host told us that last year one of the single guys (first timer) gave an expensive painting. So they were joking that the person who g ...

Nonclutter Gift Ideas For A 6 YO Girl?Dec 07, 2011
I would like to get a friend's 6-year-old daughter something, but their house is small, and the grandparents tend to give quite a bit. Any ideas that will not cause more clutter? For example, for an adult, I could give cookie ingredients in a jar. Adult makes the cookies, tosses or donates the jar, eats the cookies, no clutter left over (except on the hips maybe). This is such a creative group, I'm hoping you can help. Thanks! ...

Has Anyone Ever Had Parents Take Back A Christmas Gift?Feb 14, 2013
My husband and I do not get along with my stepdad.  He is greedy and just a terrible person.  Too much to go into.  We had words with him.  Anyways, he decided he would take back a Christmas gift that was from my mom and him last year.  It was an outside TV antenna.  He said it was his and he was taking it back.  I thought when you gave someone a gift it was theirs?  I just said ok whatever.   ...
