I guess I would look at it in a nonmaterialistic way. \nMake the day special. It doesn't cost money and items are just that items. I don't know any gift that is treasured more than a great memory.\nWrite him a letter in the morning telling him that you want to create many wonderful memories together today in thanks for all the love that he has given you thorughout the years.\nIf it is a work day, leave messages on his phone......anticiaption is a great thing. Leave little hints as to what you will be doing later together. It doesn't have to be sexual. Send something to work or give him a small gift....have his favorite lunch delivered, think about favorite memories that you have shared and write a letter reminding him about them.......put it in his pocket so he finds it while he is at work. \nlittle things like that ............they mean a lot. \nThen when he comes home, have a great meal waiting for him. Decorate the bedroom with a blanket on the floor and have a picnic in there. Put up little christmas lights or candles all around for atmosphere. Make a cd of all your favorite songs. After you have waited on him hand and foot during the meal, have him lay back and give him a massage......you know the rest.

I did this for our first married christmas.  If you remember what he told you he always wanted when you first started dating (if you have not already bought this for him of course) get that for him.  He will be really impressed that you remembered and you went out and bought it.  \nExample: When we first started dating, he told me he always wanted a pocket watch after seeing the one my mother gave my father for their wedding present.  Two christmas's later, I bought a stunning silver pocket watch with our initials engraved in it.  He was so touched by the fact that I remembered, the watch really did not matter anymore.   \nIf you cannot think of something like that, plan something that would mean a lot to him, even if you are not too thrilled about it.  Sometimes, even though you do not think you would like something like that, you find that both of you are having the time of your lives!

The very best gift giving ideas I've come up with came from www.thinkthoughtful.com.\nI always try to do something personal, but I'm not creative! I guess a painted rock isn't romantic...my husband loves tools. I thought this was horrible-I wouldn't want kitchen appliances, why would I give tools?! He told me that Home Depot is for him what the jewelry store is for me. It makes his heart sing!! So, I go with that and he is like a little boy on Christmas morning. It's about what makes it wonderful for that other person. Good luck and have fun!

it all depends on what you and your man are into. Make him a nice dinner, go to a concert, amusement park, buy him a watch or a peice of jewerly he would like. Anything you do I'm sure he will love... Good Luck.

What is something the one spouse has always wanted but never splurged to get?  \n\nFor her. Maybe time at a day spa for the wife with a gift certicate to get a new outfit then you take her out to eat at a nice resterant and give her some nice piece of Jewerly (those 3 stone pendents are nice, for past, present, future or a pendent of her birthstone or the stone from the month you got married)\n\nFor a guy, is there something for his hobby that he wants to get?  A huge plasma TV?  A Lazyboy?\n\nOr for both, a nice 3 day cruise. Or going back to where your honeymoon was for a couple days. If you like wine, going to to Napa. Or getting a hot tub jointly. \n\nGood for you for getting to 25 years, you must love each other very much.

1st year is paper. Some ideas to go along with that are:\n\n1. Write him a love letter about the joys your first year together have brought you and your hopes and dreams for the future.\n\n2. Something you make with origami like the crane for "good luck"\n\n3. Cash munnney (like Fez says on "that 70s show")\n\n4. Have a "Best Husband" certificate made up at Kinkos or someplace; or do a poster or paper banner to that effect.\n\n5. Get him a subscription for a year's worth of his favorite magazine "Welder's Monthly" or SI or something.\n\nLet your imagination run wild: Greet him at the door wrapped in gift wrap and YOU be his gift!\n\nHave fun!

what about something like off buy a gift .com or even just a simple box with pictures of you and him inside or things that you know he likes, more personal instead of monetry value.... and special little things it isn't always about things that cost alot of money, but more the effort of something that capturing the heart, but them I am an old romantic!!

First off, I'd like to say that angel_baby0824's idea is super romantic :)  Now, I decided to get my boyfriend a ring this year (one for him, one for me kind of thing).  You can get them with any message on them at http://www.personalizationmall.com  But, they also have TONS of other great ideas.  They even have a Romantic Gifts section.  Good luck :)

It depends on how much you want to spend on him really - and also if you want to get him two rather than one pressie.  If you are in the UK how about something like Red Letter Days (who are no more) used to do?  You know, driving challenges, hot air balloon trips, skydiving etc. - I think Boots and W H Smith do similar ones and I'm sure other high street retailers do too.  How about a magazine subscription for the year for something appropriate?  A personalised number plate - you can get these pretty reasonably priced from DVLA now.  An iPod - or download voucher?  A weekend away somewhere?  Good luck - at least you've still got a few weeks.

When searching for a great gift for the man in your life, the biggest question you should ask yourself is what does you man spend most of his free time doing? Provided that “sleep” isn’t the answer to this question, then you’re in business. Whatever it is that your man enjoys spending time doing is the biggest clue to finding a present he’ll really appreciate. Has he mentioned that he really needs a certain item, or that something he saw in a flier looks really cool? Take the hint, and make that item your next purchase. It’ll be a guaranteed great gift. Just to get you started, below are some categories your boy might fall into\n\nGift Ideas for Men\nThe Party Boy - Does your man love to host barbeques? If he does, there are a few key gifts in order, such as a set of pristine BBQ tools, metal shish kabob skewers, a “kiss the cook” style apron or a chef hat. To really get that party started, he’s going to need a cocktail shaker, wine, cocktail or shot glasses, and a great set of frosty beer mugs. Collapsible canvas chairs with built in cup holders, tiki torches, and beverage coolers will all help to complete his backyard festivities.\n\nThe Sports Fan - Does your guy routinely invite all his pals over to watch the game? If so, the best gift (if you can afford it ) is probably a large screen TV. Wait for an in-store special when buying, or check out online auctions for the best buy. There are also plenty of neat remote control options, from glow-in-the-dark to voice-activated controls. To keep his beer cold, try a foam beer can cooler. For a boy who loves to play games as well as watch, a tabletop air-hockey or foosball table might be just the ticket.\n\nThe Outdoorsman - If your guy likes to spend his time outside, than there are plenty of great gifts options. If he likes to camp, then your best off getting him something practical, like a waterproof flashlight, lightweight tent, thermal sleeping bag, torch lighters or a Swiss army knife. If he’s a fisherman, then a tackle box filled with assorted hooks and weights, or a new pole, reel or line, is a gift that will be much appreciated. Some fun outdoor gifts could be a set of walky talkies, remote control airplanes, a Frisbee, soccer ball or  a picnic basket, complete with lunch.\n\nThe Electronic Guy - If your partner gets excited every time he walks into the electronic department, then you’re in luck. There are new products coming onto the market virtually everyday to satisfy his technology lust. From digital cameras to webcams, from boom boxes to game consoles, speakers, and wall-projector clocks, there are so many things to choose from. Just make sure that whatever you buy is compatible with the existing computer or music systems he already has. Don’t be afraid to ask a sales representative for help.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nHopefully the above gift ideas have helped spark your search for the perfect present. The best gifts for men are often the most obvious. Do your homework by keeping your eyes and ears open, and by doing product research. Don’t forget who you’re buying for the most important thing is that he likes it, and you can live with it. \n\n~~~~~~~~~~

That is really sweet of you.  He is very lucky to have a great girl like you to take care of him on his b-day!  Sounds like you have done good with the dinner and webcam so far.  What else can you do for him?  Well, I believe the obvious would of course be providing him with some one-on-one personal entertainment later in the evening, perhaps with some new fun toys, outfits, or something.  But besides that, you could buy him something cool for his car (if he is into that kind of thing), or maybe some jewelry (if he wears a chain or earrings).  Cigars and alcohol are always good, since those last a long time, allows him to relax, and he will be thinking of you when he enjoys them.  THose are just my thoughts.  Good luck, and have a great time celebrating with him!

What about make him a closed box type of thing with all good memories and photos of yous together doing stuff yous love and had fun doing? Thats unique and not expensive.  Once you have put the photos on, use varnish to keep them there always.

LOL.... personally speaking i dont think i have EVER celebrated a 2 year anniversary... and actually, i dont even think i did anything for my 1 year (go figure that we didnt make it to 2).\n\nI think something special, romantic and not REAL expensive would be to just have a romantic evening in- candle lit dinner, soft music- and make sure to dress the part in either a nice dress or some sexy lingerie and have him do the same. send him an invitation and see what kind of reaction you get. Maybe even buy him a sexy pair of boxers to wear to the occasion. You can also buy some wine or champagne or some drink of your choice. The dinner should be what his favorite dish is. Also, if you could make some kind of scrap book of your years together and show that to him, i know its kind of mushy, but it would let you guys remember why you are together and in love!
