Depends on the age and level of the relationship.\n\nIn general doing something for him is really the best present.   That "something" is really, again, dependent on the level of the relationship.\n\nExamples of generally good "somethings"\n\n1. Dinner\n2. Massage\n3. A drive in movie\n4. A love note (handwritten, no halmark)\n5. A "special" evening\n\n\nThere are tons of extra customizations to the list above.  Basically I'd suggest something that you do together, rather than so much of something you give him.  Gifts are nice, but memories are much better.

Paper was for 1st Year Anniversary and Cotten is for 2nd Year Anniversary.\n\nIdeas:\n\n1)Clothing\nWhen purchasing clothing for your spouse, check their closet first for correct sizes and preferred colors.\n\n2) Placemats\nSet a romantic table with crisp cotton placemats. \n\n3) Tablecloths\nAnother way to set a romantic, pretty table is with a cotton tablecloth. \n\n4) Bed Linens\nPurchase new bed linens and make your bedroom a romantic haven. \n\n5) Towels\nThere is such a sense of luxury in having plush bath towels. If you know the color of your bathroom walls, you probably can't make a mistake buying some good towels and offering to wash your spouse's back or feet. \n\n6) Pillows\nBedroom pillows, decorative sofa pillows, neck pillows, back pillows, and circular neck pillows for riding in a car or airplane. Lots of pillows to choose from to make your spouse more comfortable.

According to Hallmark...Wedding Anniversary gifts are specified for each year up to the 15th.  After that, it basically gives something specific for every 5 years, 20th, 25th, etc. The 20th traditional gift is China and the Modern is Platinum.  The 25th traditional is Silver and the Modern is also silver.  I suggest a personalized engraved item or some type of jewelry (A new watch?). It really depends on the likes of the person. An engraved beer mug, a lighter, pen set or desk set.  Also, don't forget a great dinner somewhere. Maybe there's a show coming to town or concert and you could also get the tickets in advance  (Or give an IOU when they go on sale) and put them in a card. Whatever you do, enjoy yourselves.  It's not just about material things. Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS on keeping it together this long.

If you have the time, create a gift with 40 items. If you have lots and lots of time, find something that will remind them of every year. \n\nFor example, if they went on a honeymoon someplace, try and get a postcard of where their honeymoon was. Year 2 could be a sketch of where they lived, or a toy model of the car they had at the time. For the year they had a baby, see if you can find something from that baby, same with drawings or pictures their kids had made.\n\nThis doesn't have to be something they have to keep, rather it's just a little treasure box of memories. If you'd prefer to keep it really easy and space-saving, look for one special photo from each year, scan the and then create a cd picture album.

You don't have to get her a whole 'nother gift necessarily. Maybe take her to dinner and get her some flowers. I wouldn't expect another gift from my partner. Hope you guys have a really EXCELLENT anniversary with lots of hugs and kisses.

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.

Hard to say without knowing your budget....\nA string of pearls, or pearl earrings.\nA piece of jewelry that compliments her wedding set.\nA beautiful jewelry box.(some companies offer music jewelry boxes that can be customised with "your song")\nA really extravagant pegnoir set.\nOne traditional gift from a husband to his new bride used to be a fur coat, jacket or stole, but in current times, if you go that route, make sure first that she's not anti-fur!

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

Are you the bride? A very traditional gift is the cuff links he'll wear. Other good options are a money clip, a really good lighter or a pocket watch, any of which can be engraved with the date and either his initials or both of your initials/names or leather goods like a wallet or bound journal/day planner.\n\nThe key factors are that it should be something small, personal and fairly permanent.\nGood luck and may you share long years, great joy and small troubles.
