I’ll have to brainstorm :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10th-anniversary-gift#post-2891232 Tue, 16 Jul 2019 07:59:22 +0000 BUNBUN 2891232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would he be up for experiences? Maybe choose a few and then space them out to do at times when he's in a better headspace to enjoy them?<br /> I'm thinking specifically of things that would be relaxing/take his mind off of things for a while: couples massage, reflexology, indoor skydiving, dinner or drinks out someplace new or an old favorite, dance classes, an outdoor movie or concert...<br /> You could list them in a card or booklet with a little bit about how it relates to your 10 years together... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10th-anniversary-gift#post-2891193 Mon, 15 Jul 2019 19:14:51 +0000 cake2017 2891193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: Is this your 10 year wedding anniversary? If so, I’d do something about you two. Maybe make a shadow box with all your memories the last 10 years? - dinner together, massage or an activity with just you two. That’s very hard with what he’s going through with his mother so I’d want to definitely try to do something that will bring some joy despite the difficult time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10th-anniversary-gift#post-2891185 Mon, 15 Jul 2019 18:06:22 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2891185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="https://www.storyworth.com/memoir" rel="nofollow">https://www.storyworth.com/memoir</a><br /> I came across this idea recently and think its really cool, although a little expensive. Do you think his mom would be up to answering questions (the service does list sample questions) and then you could make them into a book yourself if you didn't want to go with the company. It would obviously take a bit of time and doing but it might be a nice way for your husband and your family to hold on to your mother in law. Another idea would be to digitize photos, again gathering them and using a service like legacy box or using your on scanner to scan in all the family photos that are siting in a box possibly getting destroyed. These both could prove time consuming but would be nice to have and are both sentimental and kind of practical. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10th-anniversary-gift#post-2891182 Mon, 15 Jul 2019 16:58:31 +0000 bhbee 2891182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Help me ... DH wants nothing (specific) and needs nothing I can think of. He appreciates sentiment but we have a lot of kid photo stuff and such. Most physical gifts end up piled in the closet - he’s just not into “stuff” or tech. I got him 23 and me for Fathers Day and that was fun. </p> <p>There is also the fact that this is a tough personal time ... his mom is facing end stage pancreatic cancer and is struggling, he’s an only child, we live far away and you can imagine the stress. We canceled our anniversary weekend staycation because it made more sense for him to be there. </p> <p>I thought about getting him an iPad ... with the thought he could use it to FaceTime them better than his iPhone. But I’m honestly not sure how much he would use it otherwise. </p> <p>I don’t think it needs to be something big ... it’s not about money spent ... but I want to do something. Help!!! </p>
