Totally forgot about as I was about 6-7 weeks pregnant at the time. We got Lego Movie clocks as our gift to ourselves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary/page/2#post-2267525 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 19:46:53 +0000 LovelyPlum 2267525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@finfan: @babynumber1: happy anniversary! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary/page/2#post-2267522 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 19:46:02 +0000 LovelyPlum 2267522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to his grandparents' sixties wedding anniversary party in Chicago over our wedding anniversaey weekend. Otherwise, we didn't do muh of anything. We didn't do gifts, flowers, or cards. We were going to go out to dinner, but last year, we totalled our car on our way home from our anniversary date. So we decided to forego it this year :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary/page/2#post-2267516 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 19:41:25 +0000 babynumber1 2267516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our 5 year is actually on Friday. Saturday night we are going to a fancy dinner and a movie. At 37 weeks pregnant, that's enough for me. We don't really do anniversary gifts, it's just not our thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary/page/2#post-2267470 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 18:58:47 +0000 youboots 2267470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We flew into Nashville, stayed there a few days. Stayed in Jackson. Drove to New Orleans, stayed there for a few days. Stayed in Houston. Drove to Austin, stayed there 4 nights and flew home. We ate and drank our way 1800 miles it was a dream trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary/page/2#post-2267435 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 18:07:52 +0000 Finfan 2267435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is coming up this Friday and I have no idea!

My parents watched LO and we went out to dinner that weekend. We aren't big on presents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary#post-2267270 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 14:45:39 +0000 Keybee 2267270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave DH a new tree for our yard and he gave me a porch swing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary#post-2267260 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 14:37:56 +0000 Chillybear 2267260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll be doing our fantasy football draft (our anniversary is 8/28).... We went to Punta Cana back in April with some friends. Maybe we'll go get dinner or drinks after the draft. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary#post-2267218 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 14:08:01 +0000 raintreebee 2267218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No gifts, but we did a child-free weekend getaway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary#post-2267216 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 14:06:55 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 2267216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KT326: Love Paso!

I guess that's kinda like a belated 5-year anniversary trip ;-) LO will be 21 months then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary#post-2267188 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 13:52:08 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2267188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need ideas for mine - I'm just excited that we get to open the bottle of wine from our wine box ceremony!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary#post-2267187 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 13:52:03 +0000 Mae 2267187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're talking about getting tattoos. Not like, matching ones or anything lol. But it is just something that we've both always wanted to do (they would be our first) and we never wanted to spend the money so we thought it might be a good gift to ourselves/each other.</p> <p>Before we had LO we thought we'd do Europe but we wouldn't want to take or leave her at that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary#post-2267185 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 13:50:38 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 2267185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is later this month and we'll be visiting friends over the weekend so nothing special planned for the actual day. Maybe do dinner out sans LO once we get back.</p> <p>Gifts are wood and silverware....I'm gifting DH custom cufflinks and tie clip (stretch for silverware) and he's making us a succulent planter box for the house, like this but wood instead of metal: <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/195474122/12-x-20-succulent-hanging-planter-metal?ref=shop_home_active_2" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/195474122/12-x-20-succulent-hanging-planter-metal?ref=shop_home_active_2</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary#post-2267117 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 13:03:02 +0000 Alivoo01 2267117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is next month and I've been thinking really hard! I saw a wooden plaque that said:<br /> The (last name) Family<br /> est. (anniversary date)</p> <p>I thought it was cute and I want to incorporate our kids into it somehow (maybe hang pictures around the plague?), but we'll see! It's more of a family gift to us than for him. I can't think of a good gift for him! Wood is hard man!</p> <p>We don't live near family so we can't take a trip anywhere although I think having someone watch DS while we get a room at the hotel we got married at would be fantabulous. I'm sure the rooms there are $$ though, but it'd be nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary#post-2267091 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 12:27:28 +0000 runnerd 2267091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Chicago! We usually take trips in lieu of presents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary#post-2267086 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 12:26:20 +0000 yoursilverlining 2267086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is next week – eek, how did that happen?! and we will be flying on the actual day of. We’re going to try to go to A16 in San Francisco for dinner to celebrate a few days late, and then something bigger later on this year. I’d really like to go to a fantastic spa somewhere (DH likes spa stuff too, loves facials, etc.). I really, really am dying to go somewhere with natural mud baths and natural hot springs, but we’ll see. That will be a combo my birthday and anniversary short trip, and will be kid-free! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary#post-2267072 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 12:20:12 +0000 plantains 2267072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is next year, I am really hoping to do a weekend in Spain drinking wine etc, but I have no idea how the childcare aspect will work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary#post-2267052 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 12:09:48 +0000 lavender 2267052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Philly for a long weekend kid- free. Ate at some restaurants we have been wanting to try, did I mention we were kids free? :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary#post-2267039 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 12:02:47 +0000 leighleigh 2267039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both turned 30 within a few weeks of our 5th anniversary so we used it as an excuse to take a big trip to celebrate everything. We went to the south of Spain, and we also got pregnant on the trip! Exciting times! Besides that we basically just treated ourselves to a few nice dinners--we like eating out :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary#post-2267020 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 11:54:37 +0000 looch 2267020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was the first year we lived in our house, I got 8 place settings of china.</p> <p>My husband ordered himself a google glass. It was his present for all the events that year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary#post-2267018 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 11:51:46 +0000 ShootingStar 2267018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still have 2 years to go, but I'm hoping to do a trip back to Barbados where did our favorite part of our honeymoon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary#post-2267007 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 11:45:33 +0000 Adira 2267007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing! I was heavily pregnant with Logan. I think maybe we exchanged small gifts, but that was it. It was right after Xander had been hospitalized, so we weren't really thinking of it. Oh well. Maybe we'll do something big for the 10th one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary#post-2267005 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 11:43:43 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2267005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours was this past May. On the day of we went out to dinner at our favorite restaurant sans baby....we were visiting our old hometown of Denver so it was fun to visit an old favorite! Just this past weekend we had the opportunity to get away without the baby, so we went to Door County, WI for two nights while my parents watched the baby. Our "gifts" to each other were me: organizing this trip and him: getting me a road bike we'd planned to buy for a while. All our money is shared anyway, and both purchases were planned for. We just called them anniversary gifts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary#post-2267001 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 11:40:45 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2267001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is three weeks on Friday! Before my husband recently started grad school (major time drain) we planned to take a trip and settled on The Mighty 5 in Utah. Instead, we're going to (hopefully) hear our baby's heartbeat for the first time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary#post-2266996 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 11:36:09 +0000 BKCaribBaby 2266996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did our first weekend away from LO (although she was staying in other end of town with my in-laws). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-anniversary#post-2266985 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 11:31:25 +0000 hilsy85 2266985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will be about 37 weeks pregnant, so prob just dinner out! We didn't exchange gifts last year for our 4th and it was SO nice to not have the pressure of what to buy. </p>
