Low cost anniversary gift

emilyka

Hi All,

I was after a bit of help, it is mine and my partners anniversary at the end of August. I am usually very good at thinking of imaginative and thoughtful gifts that dont cost a lot (just got out of debt and trying to save!) however after all the years of birthday, anniversary and Christmas I am really starting to run out of ideas!

I have before done things such as valentines hampers, photo collages, engraved zippos, engraved cufflinks, engraved pen knife, weekend away (would love to do this again but cant afford it!) suprise picnics. Please does anyone have any ideas?

Not poems etc please as we're not that romantic

Thank you in advance! xx

How long have you been married? (gift could link in with material/object associated with that year)

emilyka

thank you for your reply. We arent married but this is our 'official' two year anniversary (were together a fair while before but the 23rd August is the date we go with!)

Thanks

Apparently 2 year is cotton, ivillage suggests

New bed linen
Boxers or other attractive underwear for him
Sexy cotton lingerie for you that both of you would enjoy
Quality cotton towels
Matching dressing gowns
Hammock
Personalised T-shirt

I saw this on etsy earlier today http://www.etsy.com/listing/51915162/custom-couple-portraits-pair i think its really fun. Perhaps you could find something to make it yourself with if this is out of budget.

Sorry it's taken me such a long time to comment again- been manic at work! Thank you all for the ideas :j I'm still not sure what to do as my budget seems to be diminishing day by day :mad:
