Pottery as 9th Wedding Anny. Gift?
 

Tomorrow is my 9th Anniversary to my lovely wife Michele. She's the greatest gal in the whole world and have no doubt she is a 110% Redskins fan.

Ok, so I'm a dewd and I ain't got a fricking clue what to get her for a gift. So what do I do in these modern times? GOOGLE IT!

So I find this list of stuff as gifts for each different year of marriage and it tells me Pottery is the gift for 9 years. I think if I hand her a Pot for a gift it will be a long LONELY night for me.

Do what?! Pottery? Are you kidding me? I gotta do better than that if I want to make it to 10 years. Trust me when I say when we vowed until death it was MY death we had agreed on. lol

I think I'll take her out to dinner "Wherever she wants to go" and give her the deposit voucher for a trip I am booking her and I in the winter.

Here's the list guy. Thoughts?
peace

Here's the deal SBF, check this out. You could give her a card that's like, Look here kitten, you'll always be my priestess!
I promise! She'll never look at you the same way again

Will someone delete this DANGEROUS post before it costs me an Arm and another leg at Tiffiny's!!!

Is anybody else tired of buying jewelry for the wife? I mean she has enough already. Mother's Day, Birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries. When she puts it on she's starting to look like a gypsy or something. Why does she get jewelry for gifts and I get a lousy dinner or some pathetic gift like a tie?

Oh! And Good Morning to the usaul suspects.....you know who you are!

A woman can never have enough jewelry, just like us men can never have enough toys like video games, electronics, the latest gadgets, etc.

Because she's got all the ...., and half the money

Here's the way you handle this. You buy her whatever it is you want and then find yourself a nice piece of pottery. You put the gift in the pot and now you have stuck to the traditional while also fulfilling the need to actually produce a decent gift. She'll love it.

My husband is very grateful that I don't like to wear jewelry.

We only exchange gifts at Christmas. I don't see the point in spending money on stuff we don't really need. We will, however, spend a good chunk of change on football stuff come the end of July. While we're standing in the store we'll look at each other and say "happy birthday anniversary, honey."

Put a postcard of some kind of pottery in a card along with two tickets to Greece so she can pick it out.

Or just a single ticket. :oink::cheeky-sm

FRPLG had the best idea.

Who picked POTTERY as a gift? Could be worse, you could be on the "Clock" anniversary.:benched:


Seriously...whoever made up the "modern" list is stupid...APPLIANCES for the 4th? That's a trap.

The modern thirteenth is interesting (textiles). Just give your wife a big bolt of fabric and you're good.

Me and my wife of 7 years are like you and your husband. We do birthdays but usually we just say what we want and its done. We go out to dinner for the other stuff and do christmas. Heck, Christmas we have a fixed budget we spend on each other. Some years I may spend a little more and some years she may spend a little more it goes both ways.
