NEED HELP WITH ANNIVERSARY GIFT IDEA


[+] serious ballot by Kev24
created Thu Jun 28, 07

i'm screwed. some of you may recall that my one year official anniversary with adam is in one month. i have absolutely no idea what to get him. none.

problem is, he buys me gifts all the time and they're always perfect. i don't know how he does it, but every single one is just perfect. so for our 1 year, i can only imagine what it will be. 1 year meaning since our commitment ceremony.

family and friends have suggested the usual stuff like clothes and stupid stuff like that. this is the one time that i can really do something for him for a change.

please give me some ideas. here's a little about him --

he's german, but was born and raised in england

he's now going into banking when he finishes school

he plays rugby for an athletic league

he works out and is very into physical fitness (better be if he wants to hang onto me)

he's a minimalist. doesn't like mens jewelery and never wears cologne (nor do i)

he's into any and all types of music

i don't know what else that can help you figure out an idea. i made a similar list to help me and i ended up ripping it up in anger. the guy is so hard to buy for.

i would be grateful for any ideas.

here's my idea

^Why not children?

Anyways you don't want children right now anyways, wait like 5 or ten years!

As for the gift...it doesn't have to be a gift. Call a limo service and arrange a time to pick you both up and take a nice limo drive (make sure you get the all inclusive package and it shouldn't be too expensive, price around) to a place you both love to eat or go to and have a nice time together. Make it a total surprise. Make sure to wear some Unico boxer briefs as well ;)

oh the all inclusive package or whatever it's called is stocked with wine and stuff...so you can drive around drinking with a chauffeur for a few hours at night...nothing nicer than that right?
by socal_sweetie on Thu Jun 28, 07 3:07pm [+]

how about a roll of $100 bills and a pack of sauerbraten stuffed into the pockets of a rugby jersey, and worn by you in the gym, presented in a striptease to the tune of Rocky Horror picture show and Charlotte Church?

sorry, I am terrible at that too :)

Gordon Gekko suit, for that all important first interview.
by LCD on Thu Jun 28, 07 3:32pm [+]

awesome ideas. i like your idea socal but i could also incorporate lcd's. i'd just feel so cheap. ahh, what the hell, it's our anniversary.

by Kev24 on Thu Jun 28, 07 3:35pm [+]

Yeah, his sounds good too *wipes drool from chin* i would love it if my hubby did that for me...

Stick to music. Can't go wrong with it.

Hmmm...

The rugby world cup starts soon, perhaps you could get him and yourself tickets to go and see a match. You see, its being held in France, so while your there you could go to Paris the city of Love.

If he is into rugby definitely buy him some headgear protection. Years of scrummages turns rugby players ears into cabbage ears, the ears are destroyed completely on an aesthetic level.
by winston on Fri Jun 29, 07 12:46am [+]

How about a pearl necklace? You can't go wrong there. ;)

On a more serious note, you could get something, like a piece of crystal, and have it engraved, commemorating your first anniversary.
by cranky on Fri Jun 29, 07 2:11am [+]

i like the idea of having something engraved. that could work. but what to engrave is the question. i'll give that one some thought.

winston - good ideas but he has all the protective gear.

but i like the idea of tickets to the rugby world cup.

awesome ideas everyone - thanks much.

Trip to his favourite place. Go out to dinner at a great restaurant, and present the tickets then.

Engrave "Kev and Adam"

So, here I am, sticking my head back in the door for a few minutes, after a 2-week hiatus. I probably won't be back for at least that long again, but this was too good to pass up.

Here's an idea out of left field: some very nice limited edition leather bound or deluxe embossed cloth books, Folio Society or the like. If your fellow has a particular fiction author whose work he enjoys or has a nonfiction work of which he's fond, then this can be easily done, and looks quite impressive on his shelves at home. You needn't join the Folio Society or the like in order to find these, either: many unread, mint state copies of these are floating around from a number of booksellers. You could easily make use of the Advanced Book Exchange AdALL or the like to find some for him.

I think they'd show that he's a man of elegance, refinement, taste, and literacy. If they're reasonably sober subject matter, he could even keep them at his office after graduation.
by Felix on Sat Jun 30, 07 9:23pm [+]

I might mention that, with the Folio Society, anyway, all of their books come with very well matched slip covers. They really look impressive lined up in an office or study.
by Felix on Sat Jun 30, 07 9:27pm [+]

Find out what his favorite band is and get him some memorabilia.
by RobinGaylord on Sun Jul 01, 07 2:42pm [+]

"I think they'd show that he's a man of elegance, refinement, taste, and literacy."

Or that he's desperate to impress people.

Oh? Scarcely, cranky Carter!

I can always tell quite a bit about a man by his library, its contents, and how it's appointed. The best sort of library/study combines contents and esthetics. I couldn't tell you how much I've enjoyed seeing the very formal libraries in Victorian and antebellum homes that I've toured or visited. They're all mahogany or oak furniture and leather bindings for the volumes. Yet, I've no doubt that the prior owner(s) had generally read and appreciated the contents, unlike the modern yuppies who have their witless decorators go out and buy books with bindings of a certain color, much like wallpaper!

Now, let's consider your trailer for a few moments: it tells us so much about you and your mindset. We walk in through the creaking screen door, although we're quite careful not to trip over the many stray empty "Colt 45" malt liquor bottles. We also must take care not to slip on the vomit.

When we reach your library, which is in the dampened corner next to the battered radio with the tinfoil covering the broken nub of its antenna, and tuned to Air America using a pair of pliers, we encounter your Wal-mart laminate-covered bookcase, which mostly is full of titles by Alex Jones, the last few months' editions of "Moldovan and Romanian Mail Order Bride Monthly" and something entitled "Jimmy Carter: His Best Glamor Shots." Ah, shouldn't have handled it without gloves, as so many of the pages are stuck together! I also see you own an eMachines laptop with a dialup modem. ...Or is that a leftover junk TRS-80 from two decades back that you've modified? I'd love to have you inflate your girlfriend so we could chat together for a few minutes, but I must be running.

As I was saying, I don't trust a man without a few books to his name. He doesn't seem to be all there.

by Felix on Sat Jul 07, 07 9:41pm [+]

my bookcase is filled with phone directories, web programming books, Calvin and Hobbes comic books, a book of dirty jokes, and one on how to book to fix a chevy truck.

You can tell I am a refined gentleman with impeccable tastes.... Grey Poupon anyone? :P
