What did you get your boyfriend on your 1st Year Anniversary?

Well next month it will be my boyfriend’s and I one year anniversary ! I have no idea what to surprise or give him, any ideas ladies? Even though it’s a month away it will probably go by fast so i’d rather be a little early than at the last minute =]

    Again I know this is from 10 years ago but for anyone who will see this now like I did! For my 1 year, both my boyfriend and I are super into music, so I made him a mix tape of songs that have special meaning to the both of us!

    Also if anyone has any ideas for a 2 year anniversary present any would be much appreciated

    I know this question was from aaaggees ago, but I still think an answer can be given just in case others out there are having trouble.
    I know when it came to being our anniversary ( we`ve been dating for over 2 years now ), I had noooo idea what to get him. Honestly, it`s all about the thought. While cologne & things like that are nice, I think he appreciated the smaller things a lot more.
    I got him a DVD of the movie we watched when we first started going out together ( as friends ) & because it was an awesome movie & it has a small special meaning to us, he really really liked it. I also remembered something about how his parents love tea, so I got him a small packet of the tea my dad is obsessed with. I got him a really nice, black book with thick, beautiful paper for him to draw in, as well as a really lovely black pen because he likes to draw, and I don`t really remember the other things I got him because as I mentioned, it was a while ago.
    He got my a cute little bracelet, made a rose out of oragami paper ( because i told him i`d kill him if he got me an actual rose because it makes me extremely sad when they die ), and wrote me a cute letter which I still have.
    Basically, just get them something that reflects who they are, or something that`s special to the two of you. It doesn`t matter how nice the present is or how much you spend on it, as long as it`s thoughtful and it`s from you ( which is the most important part, because he`s in love with YOU ), he`ll love it!

    edit: i just remembered, one of my friends is really good at knitting & she knitted her boyfriend a jumper one year!! i found it EXTREMELY sweet of her & he of course loved it to bits!! just re-iterating that it`s the thought that really counts.

    my boyfriend of 2 years is really hard to buy gifts for. we were at uni when we started dating, so for our 1 year anniversary, I got him a book with tips to succeed in life, with bits and pieces on job interviews, career choices etc. I left little personalised notes on post-its throughout the book, and he loved it!
    this might not seem like a very suitable gift for some guys, but I think its personalised things that make the best gifts

    That`s great Eskimo, i was just looking at a site for engraved rings too lol

    Hi Kay, I`m just going to get the ring engraved at the locksmith =) Don`t think it`s too expensive

    Thank you Meag, ah my boyfriend is already giving me hints so i already know i need to do something big for him!

    I cant remember what gifts we exchanged. We did go for a lovely meal in Darling Harbour though. Gifts can be a little forgettable but I think doing something special together makes memories that last a whole lot longer. Dont forget also that if you get something big and flashy this year, you`ll have to try and out do yourself next year. Pace yourself Kay n Jay. Whatever you decide, I hope its a lovely anniversary and congrats to you both!

    Aw that`s sweet Eskimo, where can you be able to purchase a engraved ring?

  • 15 yrs, 4 mths ago

    i got him tickets to crusty demons he loved it!

    My boyfriend and I got each other rings =) It`s our 2 year anniversary next month. I`m kind of stumped on what to get so I think I might get his ring engraved. Hope you have a nice anniversary Kay =)
