ts a little known fact that the 5 year anniversary is the Bratwurst anniversary. Grill some brats for your spouse to celebrate the love. I also suggest some soothing, romantic Iron Maiden to make a perfect evening ;)

Good God, man. This one's easy. All-night nookie session. Although come to think of it, she'll probably think it's a present to yourself. :think: :D

Well then, Mr. Smartypants - can you tell me how in the *HELL* my wife got pregnant AGAIN? :think: :D

-S.S.-
Touche :D

pnj, have more confidence in what you know about her. A bunch of strangers who don't know either of you aren't going to be able to help much. Take a half hour, sit down, and make a list of what you know about her. Go from there.

I'm working on year nine...I can't even remember what I got her. We usually try not to buy expensive gifts for our anniversary. We usually go to an expensive place to eat or something like that. You know something we normally wouldn't do. One year we went to a Bed and Breakfast that was a couple of hours away just to get a way for a week end. Although ever since we had kids, it's a little harder to do things like that. This pasted year we did nothing, because we had a six month old.

Something else to remember is don't go too big...because you'll have to top it next year.

Dude...I hear ya. I was like a B and B...I don't know.
But I found this one that was pretty cool. It was on a bunch of acreage, each room had a private hot tub on their patio's, fire places in each room. It was a perfect setup. We got married in the winter, so the first night we jump in the hot tub, and it's snowing. Let's just say I was a happy man that weekend. I also was freaking amazed with the breakfast's. I didn't even need lunch. Some of the best stuff I had eaten.

Gift certificates for massages and such?

A weekend at a spa/resort/body place?

A babysitter? (especially good if you have kids)

A hotel room for the night? (especially good if you have kids)

A weekend away? (especially good if you have kids)

A week(end) where ever you went on your honeymoon?

FWIW... my 5 year is in about 3 weeks. The Mrs. and I are going back to the Cayman Islands (where we took our honeymoon).

Dammit. That's a good idea. I think I need to start thinking about booking tickets to Italy for next Spring......... :D
