One where there is a strict dress code and they serve things you can barely pronounce. I have always wanted to go somewhere like that so that was all I wanted. It was awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1103468 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 09:58:18 +0000 lemondrop 1103468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: lol, our son had a major blowout at our second anniversary dinner, same age- all we could do was laugh.</p> <p>We try to loosely follow the traditions for fun, so he got me a leather work bag. It doubles as a diaper bag when we travel since i don't carry one usually. I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1103457 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 09:51:14 +0000 lovehoneybee 1103457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I sent him links to a new gold initial disc necklace and a leather clutch. Knowing my husband, though, he'll ignore them (even though he asked for them) and get or do something else, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1103454 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 09:44:41 +0000 Bao 1103454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't do gifts but we go out to eat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1103348 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 07:13:34 +0000 Dandelion 1103348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't exchange gifts, just go out to dinner. Our was the beginning of September and he had bought me a car, and I bought him a duvet for his down comforter, so we called it our anniversary gifts to each other, lol. But, really, it was just coincidental, cause we needed both of those items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1103343 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 07:05:44 +0000 pui 1103343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last February was our first (marriage) anniversary. My DH bought me an epic new computer monitor lol. Not really romantic, but I use it everyday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1103203 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 22:08:38 +0000 avivoca 1103203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This year was our sixth, and he got me pearl earrings.

LifetimeLeatherCo on Etsy looks awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1102907 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 17:29:50 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1102907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't exchange gifts, just cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1102902 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 17:26:48 +0000 PawPrints 1102902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband had a challenge with our 3rd anniversary because I'm a vegetarian so leather wasn't going to work. He told me he figured "I am a modern man!" and went with the modern version of the 3rd anniversary gift, which is crystal. I received two huge Waterford crystal red wine goblets. They're incredible and I love them and we drink out of them at least once a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1102795 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 15:00:44 +0000 nana87 1102795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>dh got me a really nice scarf this year! last year was a watch, and the year before a purse and earrings </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1102710 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 12:57:13 +0000 dc yoga bee 1102710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a paper massage gift certificate for our first. What about a pandora necklace (since you don't like bracelets) with a leather chain? And you can add to it with charms! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1102705 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 12:52:35 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1102705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't give gifts, since its a thing we celebrate as a couple! Instead, we plan a nice evening or trip together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1102704 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 12:50:29 +0000 Pepper 1102704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH got me a leather Michael Kors bag for our 3 year anniversary. I bought him new shoes that he had been wanting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1102587 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 10:41:16 +0000 Mrs. J 1102587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we had our 2 year this summer, so we each did a small theme cotton gift, and then we are buying a new microwave ha ha. I got DH a print on cotton and had it framed, and he got me this great picnic blanket that folds up with a pocket and has our last name embroidered on it. We decided we would always do it this way--something small from the theme, and then buy something together for the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1102585 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 10:34:43 +0000 Espion 1102585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I had a better answer. For our first anniversary, DH was off doing military stuff in another state and our dog brought home a kajillion fleas from doggie daycare. It was...special. I laugh about it now. Then, I was newly pregnant and in tears! He better make up for it this year. :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1102405 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 07:44:02 +0000 blackbird 1102405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a really nice leather belt? Something really soft and buttery? I wear belts a lot so I would totally appreciate that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1102375 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 07:04:19 +0000 hilsy85 1102375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FYI 3 years can also be crystal/glass if you go by the "modern" version! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1102315 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 00:51:07 +0000 shopaholic 1102315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I received a purse for our leather anniversary. I think watch (leather band) or some leather shoes would be nice. Maybe a leather clutch purse to keep in the diaper bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1102280 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 23:19:42 +0000 Mrsjets 1102280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decided to do a gift on anniversary 5, 10, 15 ect. I would love to get some sort of jewelry on those - I'll probably give DH a few different clues to what I'm liking at the time and he'll go off that. For every other year we just go for a spa day together (pedi and massage as well as a mani for me) then dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1102271 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 23:01:29 +0000 yoursilverlining 1102271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went away for a night to a really swanky hotel and had cocktails, room service, wine, dessert, cocktails.</p> <p>We also treated ourselves to a couple of new pans. Steak = leather = pans to cook steak in? :)</p> <p>We don't do gifts for anniversaries, we tend to do "experiences" or a really nice dinner out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1102263 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 22:44:13 +0000 Glitter 1102263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pearls!

Last year his gift to me was a very nice dinner out, but he didn't tell me about it until he was leaving work that day...called and told me to oget dressed. Unfortunately, he did not consider child care, and it was to late to get anyone, so our then 2.5 month old came with us. So.stressed.out.</p> <p>@blackbird: I have a weird thing about things on my wrists...I never even wear bracelets!</p> <p>@deerylou: I thought about that (and part of his gift from me is a new monogrammed wallet!) but I LOVE my wallet. </p> <p>@Arden: Heh I just bought myself a new purse...hmm I could use a new pair of boots though!</p> <p>Maybe an initial disc necklace. E broke mine (it was a cheap POS anyway...). And he can put it in a leather pouch ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1102185 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 21:04:37 +0000 chopsuey 1102185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go out to eat!<br /> I would ask for shoes, a belt or wallet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1102183 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 20:57:25 +0000 autumnlove 1102183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't exchange gifts!

I'd be asking for a purse. Or a La Mer watch. Or shoes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-for-your-anniversary#post-1102164 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 20:47:36 +0000 deerylou 1102164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't had a wedding anniversary yet, but what about a nice, leather wallet? I'm coveting a Tory Birch one, but they're closer to $200. :sad: </p>
