MCM Lexi asked:
I looked at a lot of similar questions and answers for ideas, but I think I need things more specific to my case.
We are both 21 and I want to give him something special for our one-year dating anniversary. I also don’t want to give him the same types of things I’ve given him before:
-pictures of us
-a gift card to get a picture of us taken professionally (given last Christmas and he still hasn’t used it)
-poems I wrote him
-CDs I made for him
-a drawing of us
-a list of reasons that I love him
-that Hallmark valentines cat that talks
-his favorite cheese popcorn
He is romantic, but not much into tradition. He always gets me flowers, chocolates, etc, but says he wouldn’t like any of those things himself. He says a new airsoft gun or a part for his car, but those just don’t say “I love you” like I want them to!
I also saw an idea to cook dinner for him, which would be great except that we’re planning on going out to eat that night. We’re quite serious, planning engagement soon. Ideas?
Okay, forgot to say…
I don’t have tons of money to work with, so no concert/game tickets. I would like to spend $20-$50.
And I’m saying that I don’t want to give him chocolate and stuff, but I don’t know what I SHOULD get him.
And paper is the first wedding anniversary theme… we’re just dating

*more details!*
He doesn’t like to wear jewelry of any sort.
Also, no sexy suggestions please…we’re trying to maintain a Christian relationship.
I never realized how picky he is until I wrote all this out… lol

Traditionally a one year anniversary should be something made from paper. So, how about 2 tickets to a concert or sports event that you can both enjoy.

If he gives you flowers and chocolates, he doesn’t sound to0 original or non-traditional either. Are you sure you’re not imagining him to be the way you want him to be? If so, you might want to think twice about getting engaged after only a year, or at least consider a long (year plus) engagement. But what do I know; if a girl gave me half the stuff you’ve given him in the first year, I’d have been scared off already unless you were really really “the One.”
Since he wants an airsoft gun or car parts, he doesn’t sound too romantic to me. A Guy like that would probably like an Xbox 360 or PS2, but you probably don’t think they say “I love you” though I think he would. Regardless, don’t get him those unless you want him to ignore you. An anniversary gift should be something you share or related to your relationship.
If you’re hot and he’s not uptight, a racy pic of yourself would be good, or better, a negligee for yourself with the promise of attendant benefits for him. Or you could go with man jewelry – engraved watch, engraved bracelet, neck chain with a charm that’s you’ve selected to remind him of you but one that doesn’t make him look feminine.
