How much do you want to spend? What does
he do for living? What are his interests?
Does he like plays, music, or sports/
How about a couple's massage/dinner for
two/and lunxuray for you!! 
A watch is always a good gift for the
first year. If he likes sports, you can
get him 2 tickets to a game and give to
him during wine and dinner.
If he plays poker, you can get him a big
poker set and play with him and the looser
has to remove articles of clothing

Those are really good ideas Negar. He
loves sports, but there are no big sports
teams nearby...a good 3 hour drive from
hear and he doesn't even like any of the
closest teams...so that's a no go. That
was actually my first thought until I
really thought about it.
We bought each other really nice jewelry
when we were on our honeymoon. I got a
ring and he got a watch.. so that's out
to. I was reading on the internet that
the traditional gift is paper, so now I am
racking my brain trying to come up with
something that has to do with paper. I
think one of the gifts will be a "love"
coupon book. Cute huh???

Yeah that would be cute... That's a good
idea... Now just to find a sexy picture of
myself...I don't think I have one except
one from when I was in college and that
was pre hubby. I will have to get the
camera out to take an updated one.

I'm a little lost in getting dh an
anniversary present, too. Last year was
our first anniversary and we spent the
whole day together walking around town and
exploring little shops here and there. We
were working on furnishing our house and
didn't exchange gifts.
This year, we were talking about going out
to a really nice restaurant, but dh said
that he has a better idea and wants to
surprise me. He also said that it would
cost a lot of money. I need to come up
with something that doesn't look pathetic
next to whatever he is doing. I just want
to show him how happy I am to be married
to him and how much I love him.
Flying and biking are two of his hobbies
and he already has anything he would want
for those hobbies (short of a jet).

My husband and I celebrated our first
anniversary last june. We decided that
instead of buying each other something, we
would go out of town for the weekend. We
had a very nice anniversary. It was
really nice being just the 2 of us, with
no interruptions.

That is what we are planning on doing, we
are leaving tomorrow night for a three
night vaca just the two of us. I am soooo
excited about it I can hardly do any work
today, hense the fact that I can't get off
this site 
I talked to him about it last night and
also with my mom and I think we are just
going to take the vacation and try to find
something on our trip that we would both
like...like maybe something for the
house!! He said he already had something
picked out, but wasn't going to get it
until after we got back - payday I
think since we are already spending a boat
load on the hotel then me might as well
just get nice cards and pick something out
together.
Thanks ladies for your suggestions...
oh and Negar...still doing the love coupon
book!!!

I actually mentioned doing that to dh but
he burst out laughing and said "are you
serios??? Why would you want to do that?
You are just asking for something to go
wrong!!!" He's such a chicken!!!
