Hellobee Boards

Are you crafty? If you buy a piece of wood at Home Depot you could paint something on it. It's easy to paint on wood because you can print out whatever you want on the computer and put it on the wood and trace with a pen. It leaves an indentation on the wood so you can see where to paint.

@artbee: what a great idea!

What about DIYing a name plaque for the house? I like the wood picture frame idea.

I like anniversary gifts to be things that will last a long time.

I got my husband a really nice pen crafted from an Ash tree. You can find a variety on etsy made from different types of wood. The one I bought was around $15, so quite affordable also!

My BFF got married two weeks ago and she had a wooden "plaque" made that consisted of 3 lines.

This is Our Happily Ever After
The (Last Name) Family
Est. (Month DD, YYYY)

The name of your family had the biggest font. Let me know if you want to see a picture, and I'll see if I can find it on my phone!

We celebrate our anniversaries by deciding on a present together that fits the traditional "theme" gifts. For our first anniversary (paper) we got concert tickets and a framed fine art print. For wood, we will probably buy a nice piece of wood furniture.

You could go to a thrift shop and get a chair, bar stool, small table, etc. and refinish it.

I love the beer tote. I'm thinking of getting it for DH's birthday. Along the same lines, I saw a wooden beer flight holder in the dollar deals section at Target. You could paint or stain it, get tasting glasses, and a few microbrews for him to try it out.

@LindsayInNY:
A hammer for the handy man (I might steal this one!).
Coordinates of your house, or place you got married candle holder.
Wooden tech holder.

Wood ornament for your Christmas tree? Lots available on etsy.

A bottle hitch that's on a wooden plaque, a big meat carving board with your last name engraved on it for Thanksgiving or grilling, a throwing down landscape mulch, costs very little and makes the yard look so much nicer.

@Mrs. Sketchbook: How about a family photo printed on wood? We got my husband's sister one of her engagement photos using this site: http://www.plakthat.com - she loved it!
