Last year was our 5th, so we went out to dinner that weekend, and then we also took a cruise a few months later (we had always planned to do a nice trip for our 5th, but instead of just the two of us, it ended up being our first family vacation). This year, I may ask if we can plan one or two nights away someplace local. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2323280 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 11:12:57 +0000 .twist. 2323280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing. He got me flowers and we went out for a nice dinner. We never do much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2323278 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 11:11:49 +0000 psw27 2323278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is next week and I have no clue... its 4 which is fruit or flowers. DH could care less about either. Maybe I'll bake him a treat, he likes pie so that would be fruit? Otherwise, we are going out to dinner, which will be great!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2322930 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 07:26:01 +0000 jape14 2322930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This year was our 5-year anniversary - the traditional gift is wood so we got ourselves a new bed! We also played hooky but still had our nanny come - we went to the movies &amp; a late, long (booze-filled) lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2322922 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 07:21:03 +0000 regberadaisy 2322922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't done physical gifts since our second anniversary. The last one was our 5 year anniversary so we asked my BIL and his gf to watch the girls. We rented a hotel room down town for the night. Basically just spent a lot of time together, just the two of us, and ate a lot of great food! It was awesome and we want to do it again. ASAP. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2322885 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 06:21:12 +0000 mrschickpea 2322885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good golly I'm hoping to give DH a BFP for our anniversary on the 26th!! Come on TWW! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2322867 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 05:16:30 +0000 lamariniere 2322867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it awful that I don't even remember?! Our wedding anniversary is just a few days after my birthday, and our DD's birthday is just a few days after our anniversary. We don't generally do gifts other than for birthdays, so I don't think we got each other anything. :silly: This year our anniversary falls on Thanksgiving and we will have family in town, so it will probably just be a big home cooked dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2322865 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 05:12:31 +0000 FaithFertility 2322865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year we said no gifts as we were getting ready for DD to arrive, well he got me/us Mom and Dad coffee mugs, sweetest gift EVER!!!!</p> <p>It is coming up 5 yes we talked about a nice dinner with DD to celebrate where we have come! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2322756 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 21:33:44 +0000 mrsrain 2322756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just made a reservation at a really nice Inn for a mini-getaway after Christmas. My parents are going to babysit so we can go just the two of us and celebrate our 6th anniversary (Jan 2nd) and get ready to be a family of 4! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2322525 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 19:02:46 +0000 autumnleaves 2322525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours was this week. Last week when I was in Seattle I bought a bunch of smoked salmon for DH as a surprise. I spent way too much money on it so it ended up being an anniversary gift. We tried to go out to eat with LO to one our fav restaurants. We only made it through appetizers and had to take the rest to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2322340 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 17:22:47 +0000 LindsayInNY 2322340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stick with the themed gifts and usually try to do a nice dinner. This year was wood which was hard (haha no pun intended!). He got me/us a clock for our mantle with an engraving on the back. I bought Jenga and wrote places we've vacationed on the pieces with the plan to continue that going forward. I also adopted a maple tree at a local farm and got maple syrup, maple granola and local honey as part of the adoption gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2322296 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 16:43:55 +0000 yin 2322296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to see Mumford in Sons in concert and made a trip out of it to visit the city for the day. It was so nice to be kid free and enjoy each others company. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2322293 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 16:42:39 +0000 Smurfette 2322293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never do gifts, just cards. This year, Nov, we get a trip to Mexico, no LO, for a friend's wedding. Time just us is all we want/need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2322285 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 16:38:30 +0000 wrkbrk 2322285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good timing as our second anniversary is this weekend! I got her some Cole Haan shoes. Not super exciting but what she wanted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2322192 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 15:49:09 +0000 Mommy Finger 2322192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is next week and I got a pillow with the words to our first song printed on it. TBH, we don't usually do gifts at all so he'll probably be pissed. But I consider that more of an us gift since it will go on our bed. Usually we just go out to dinner. Two years ago, we both got each other canvas pictures. His was one from our wedding and mine was a map with a heart at the address of the place where we met. Can't remember if we did anything last year.</p> <p>I really wanted to do something "big" for our 5 year next year. I wanted to go somewhere for a long weekend, especially since it falls on a Saturday. However his best friend is getting married the weekend before and it'll be out of town so that kind of ruins those plans. Not really pertinent to this discussion but I'm just bummed and, truthfully, I'm not a huge fan of his friend and future bride. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2322170 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 15:42:38 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2322170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Snowboarding weekend in the mountains attached the resort we were married at! This year we will probably just go out to dinner, as we are going to Phoenix the following weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2322130 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 15:30:23 +0000 Umbreon 2322130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to Vegas to celebrate. But also I plan to get him something small that's in theme with the cotton anniversary. I plan to just fill it with small things and put some cotton balls inside. I'd like to be able to find some cotton candy to add to it but worst case it will be something cotton candy flavoured. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2322103 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 15:21:29 +0000 Alivoo01 2322103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BeachMama: on Etsy!

And then 8 weeks later we went to playa del carmen as a "babymoon," though it was also a late anniversary present to each other! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2321871 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 13:59:04 +0000 Mamasig 2321871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A card - that's it and we went to dinner. We took DS1 with is too because he pitched a fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2321866 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 13:57:04 +0000 Alivoo01 2321866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just celebrated our 5th anniversary last month and the theme for 5 is wood. I got him a card and we got us an "us" gift. We had a wooden plaque engraved with our family name and underneath it, it said est. September 18, 2010.</p> <p>We also got a friend to watch DS so we got to enjoy a dinner just the two of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2321865 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 13:56:33 +0000 Caly 2321865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our anniversary is next Wed and....ummmm....hadn't really given it much thought yet. I'll probably get him a card and if we line up a sitter we'll probably go out to a nice dinner at some point. Other than card/nice dinner, we've never been much for gift giving on our anniversaries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2321813 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 13:35:19 +0000 Truth Bombs 2321813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was our 5th so I coordinated with a friend to keep our LO and surprised him with a weekend away in Charleston, SC. It was awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2321811 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 13:35:14 +0000 lovehoneybee 2321811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing this year. We treated ourselves to a fancy dinner and a movie, and he got me a card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2321810 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 13:33:59 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2321810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our second anniversary is Monday and I haven't gotten him a dang thing lol I'll probably grab him a card but I'm not really sure what to do otherwise. Plus I'm kinda late to the game </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2321808 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 13:33:28 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2321808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am pretty sure I got him a card. We are terrible with gifts for each other since our son was born. Sometimes we do still try but it's hit or miss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2321801 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 13:31:03 +0000 fancyfunction 2321801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually do an event so we stayed over at a nice hotel and went to dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2321797 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 13:28:09 +0000 snowjewelz 2321797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're not big on gifts either. Plus with a baby, just being able to go out for dinner was already a treat, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-get-your-so-for-your-lastupcoming-anniversary#post-2321795 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 13:27:43 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2321795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing. He thinks cards are a waste and doesn't ever want anything. He gave me flowers &amp; chocolate covered strawberries. In my eyes we gave each other nothing. </p>
