    Ok peeps, I've decided to do 12 "hubby vouchers" one for every month we've been married.....seeing as that's quite a few I need more ideas for what they can be for (I can be imaginative with a few....) but any more suggestions would be great! Big or small, I need a nice mix!

    So far the definites are:

    Night in B&B anywhere
    Cinema tickets for film of his choice
    Breakfast in bed
    Meal cooked by me
    Drink in pub we've never been to

    Thanks in advance ;)


    a night in watching Tv of his choice and meal of his choice (cooked by you of course lol)
    pampering session performed by you ;) all over massage,facial if he likes that kinda thing etc etc
  • Hi There

    Can anyone suggest a few gift ideas for my wife as we are celebrating our first wedding anniversary next month. I know traditionally it's a paper-based gift so something around this theme would be great. Looking to spend around £200.

    Many thanks :confused:

    as 1st anniversary is paper, my hubby spent hours making a vase full of paper tulips from an origami instruction sheet he found on the internet. i still have them nearly 6 years later & cherish them far more than anything he could have bought for £200. the thought & effort mean so much more.

    unfortunately this is the only romantic thing he has ever done before everyone says how lucky i am!! lol.

    Here's my recent post and responses where I posted the very same question!

    I'm doing personalised vouchers for various things - I liked the idea as he can use them throughout the year so the gifts continue for a while!

    Congrats by the way!

    As a joke a friend of mine gave my husband and I a pack of Andrex loo rolls for our first wedding anniversary. I thought it was funny.:D
