    I have a few ideas, but I wanted to know what you guys would do? We didn't do anything big for our 1 year (just dinner and a movie) so this year we decided we were doing the gifts thing. What would you guys do for your wife/ girlfriend about this? Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Congrats on 2 years. :):) How about some nice jewellery, perhaps an engraved bracelet for your lovely lady? :):)

    Flowers, jewelry, and a nice card will ALWAYS work. By "nice card" I mean actually write something meaningful in it, don't just buy one with a sappy poem and sign your name. :p

    For some reason Mrs Dubai thinks every anniversary is the diamond anniversary! :D
    Seriously, we've done the traditional gifts every year. For the sixth, I made her this:

    Hmm.. unless you started the traditional gifts from the beginning I just don't know. I wouldn't want a T-shirt for a 2 year anniversary. :p

    If you do something small that's traditional according to that list and also got her something nice, that would be good unless of course the year is already something pricey like jewelry. :)

    Digital picture frames are pretty freakin' cool. You could upload pictures before you give it to her too. :)

    How about a short vacation with each other? Our one year anniversary was last June. Both of us have been pretty darn stressed these days, mostly because of my work and school. WE decided to skip the gifts and went to Belize (San Pedro). It was the best decision. No worrying about gifts and if she'll like it. We had one of the best trips of both our lives and the best thing is we got to do it together. We did have a nice night on our anniversary. We had the chefs at the place we stayed prepare a private dinner for us on the peir. The whole trip was wonderful, especially considering the fact both of us needed the time away from the rat race with each other.

    Damn Cnad...beat me to it:)

    On a serious note...I don't know what your lady is like...but I always prefer to do something with my boyfriend on our anniversary's rather than him spending a bunch of money on something. If your budget and time allows...maybe sharing the cost of a nice trip/cruise...or if that is too expensive road trips are always fun. Or if she is anything like me...a day at the track (karting) is always awesome:)

    If you are absolutely set on getting each other actual tangible gifts...some nice perfume or a day at a spa or something...??

    I hope that helped a little.

    Congatulations!

    If the second year is cotton, then I suggest you buy her a cotton car cover for the Ferrari you purchased as an anniversary present to yourself.

    I actually thought of this and it seemed like a pretty cool idea to me too. Thanks for all your idea's guys (and gals). Hopefully I can come up with something special.

    Yeah, it's a very thoughtful gift, women like that kinda stuff. ;)

    Also, I've seen them on ebay for about $60-70, whereas in a store they're well over $100 and closer to $200.

    I agree with Jay on this one... If your tight on cash Southwest has cheap flights and you can search for 5 star hotels/resorts that are running specials. Where ever you stay, book her a spa treatment. Really you got off easy last year so you probably should do something that requires thinking this year.
