This may sound a little cheesy but how about a book about how much you love him or what you love about him?\nYou could write something like this:\n\nI love the way your soft lips feel on mine\nI love how you say the right things at the right moment.\n\nJust a little idea to start off with. Be creative!\nHope you guys stay together forever. Good luck!

I think it would be more romantic to get married on a day that has personal significance to a couple, instead of a day that is more generally symbolic like V-Day. Plus, if you marry on a day that you both find super special (like the day you met or the first day you both kissed), you get an extra present! LOL. You miss out on a V-Day gift if your anniversary is the same day!!!

1st year anniversary tradition is something made of paper (silver =25, gold = 50 etc...) so based on that, tickets to a concert/band or play/musical maybe or if you want to do the cheap but cute thing, offer a voucher redeem system you can make, eg.. massage for an hour or cook a favourite meal voucher, something more erotic if you like and offer the voucher book as a gift. Tickets to the pistons, good seats something like that

Congratulations on your second anniversary!  Two years is quite an accomplishment these days. :-)\nI believe that the traditional second anniversary gift is supposed to be cotton, although there is a revised anniversary gift chart that lists gemstones as the gift for almost every year.  This list must have been made by a woman. Lol.\nWhile all of the responses here sound absolutely fantastic, I think that most couples who are in love appreciate something personalized as a loving momento of the occasion.   A personalized gift can be cherished for many years to come.  \nMy thoughts are maybe an inscribed watch for a man and maybe a personalized anniversary throw for a woman.  My husband gave me a personalized throw for our second anniversary and I adore it.  Best of luck to you and your Honey!  (There is a link below to a site that makes personalized gifts for any occasion.)

depends on your lifestyle, sounds like your both young & have a lot time together. Since you're posting this question here, you're going to get a lot of advice from married couples. So here's mine.  It doesn't matter how much money you have to spend for an anniversary, it's how you spend it. Take the phone off the hook, have a nice dinner & just enjoy each other's company. A quiet night at home goes a long way. You'll appreciate each other more ( not to mention the fun you'll have). Time spent together is far more precious than money ever will be!!!!!

If you don't have the moola, you can still have a great evening.  My boyfriend once took me on a late day picnic.  He had made simple things but all which I had mentionned I like.  He wrote me a wonderful card and then he sent me a treasure hunt around his house for a surprise (for me it was earrings but you can use anything cute that you know he likes).  I think if most of your effort go into planning, he will definately see it and enjoy it.  Happy anniversary!

My favorite times with my loved one is when we actually have time to sit and reflect about what the other one means to us. Going out to eat is traditionally what is done on an anniversary, but I prefer one on one time where there is nobody else around. No strangers talking loudly, no waiters to interrupt, no time wasted in line or in the car.  \n\nIn my opinion, Anniversaries are about each other, and to do that, you've gotta block out the rest of the world.  Here's my recipe for a fabulous anniversary. FIRST, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, GET SOME PAPER, PENS, AND AN ENVELOPE. I'll tell you why in a little bit.\n\nNext, plan the environment - Stay home (or rent a hotel if you want to get away from the day-to-day). Turn off the lights, turn on the music, light the candles.  Put your favorite (but easy to prepare) foods around you - cheeses, pizza, strawberries, chocolate, wine, etc.\n\nNow here comes the important part - sit directly in front of each other on the floor. Knee to knee, and eye to eye. Be sure to hold hands and feed each other. Talk about 'the time when we...' or 'that one time when we...'. Before you know it, hours will have passed. Don't be afraid to sip a little more wine than what you normally do. You'll soon find yourself maybe getting a little frisky. \n\nBut before you go any further, grab that piece of paper and pen, and write down a few lines about what that other person means to you. How they make you feel, and why you love them. Why you appreciate them. The more specific you get the better. For example, I love my man more everytime I catch him acting like a little kid when he thinks no one is around. Now don't let the other person read it. Seal it in the envelope, and save it for your next anniversary. It's so fun, and gives you something really fantastic to look forward to. \n\nNow would be a good time to finish off the night with a long kiss...and maybe more.\n\nYou've just created a wonderful memory of the two of you together, sincerely enjoying each other.\n\nMuch better than some boring evening at an overpriced restaurant where nobody talked to each other, don't you think?

The traditional gift is tin...but who wants an old can...lol! The more modern thing is a diamond...but that's just materialistically speaking. For you, I would say, to continue loving her as much as possible everyday that you have her...just like you have been doing for the past 10 years you've been married. No special promises of giving her the world or the moon (which doesn't belong to any man) but showing her that you are faithful and loyal. For all that she does that may upset/anger you or even be your pet-peeves, forgive her and love them because they make her who she is. Cherish her everyday and everynight just as you have for the passed 10 years or even more, if that's possible. That's what I would want...instead of the diamond that can be stolen; this can not be. Besides, you know what she wants better than anyone else...because you love her best. Happy 10th Anniversary my darling sweetness! I love you too. ;)

How about you throw an anniversary party to commemorate your 10 years of marriage and renew your vows?  That way you can invite your family and friends, wear a gorgeous dress, have him in a tux and write your own vows.  Renew the vows at the place you're having the party then have dinner and dancing just like a wedding reception!  Congratulations on your 10th anniversary!

No one (and I know from first-hand experience) is guarenteed of tomorrow.\nYou could do this for your 3rd anniversary in March.  Won't hurt a thing and she will get to be a part of it.
