WOW that is some package, some one is going to have a happy mail day/....

Lets see anniversary, how about take that photo of the two of you. Make a canvas, a key chain (that he can carry, do you have access to a photo cube I just did one and they are so much fun.

Good luck and I am sure he will love it whatever you decide:)

What about making one of these PocketMods for him and printing it on nice paper and binding it into a little book/journal. My husband actually found this link and sent it to me so I think guys would like it! http://www.pocketmod.com/
It's cool because you can choose what you want to print inside and it can all be done on one sheet of paper, if you fold it right. Here's the create it page: http://www.pocketmod.com/app/index.html
My husband for one wouldn't like anything too altered, but he would love it if it was bound in leather - maybe you could find a thin piece and try stitching it together and wrapping a leather cord around it for a closure!

What about a scavenger hunt? Create a large heart and write "I Love You" on it. Cut it up into puzzle like pieces, and write clues on the back that will lead him to the next piece. When he gets to the final piece, he can put the heart together and read the message!

How about making a mini-album that fits into his wallet. Maybe use one of the wallet size photo holders. While you're at it you could buy him a new wallet and slip the album inside as a surprise? So at first glance it's an ordinary gift but BAM inside it's one of your amazing creations? And could also slip other goodies inside like tickets to a concert or other event.

Have fun! oh, and btw, congrats on GGG!

How about a mini album full of coupons? I made one of these for my dh a couple years ago. Coupons included things like Movie night, game night, taking over his chore for a week, massages etc. And some free choice ones where he got to choose what the coupon was good for. Our anniversary is coming up next week so I might be stealing some of the ideas people leave here for me! LOL

Happy Anniversary!

Alex Hardy said...

okay.
i guess i'm gonna be the
official "dirty girl".
that's okay though.
my hubs appreciates me
making something cute....
but i never leave it at that.
i'm always a big fan of the cheesy
homemade CD with all of *our* jams
on it. & definitely some food. if you need to
include the kiddos....by all means, do so.
candlelight and all. :)
order some yummy takeout.
& then put them to bed!
okay.....next is some Victoria's Secret!
a cute bra/tank and some
boy shorts. i dunno. that's what melts
my guy. i hope it helps.

OK- this one's a bit different. Make reservations at a romantic restaurant, make a gorgeous heart-felt card, and present it along with a boudoir photo of yourself. This isn't something porno or trashy, it's a tasteful rendering of you in sexy lingerie. His own personal photo of you he can keep and look at any time he wants to!

alex beat me to it...
i was going to suggest going old school and making a CD or even older school...a cassette tape! but does anyone have a tape player anymore?

but I like that wallet idea. that would be a double wow. first a new wallet and then BAM! a mini inside!

Happy Anniversary!!!!
One of my ideas is a 4x4 mini album that counts down like David Letterman. Ideas would be: Top 10 reasons that I fell in love with you, Top 10 reasons that I love our life together, Top 10 reasons that we belong together, etc. It would be super cute made with Marah Johnson's Lovestruck "tattoo style" paper and embellies. So cute! I had this in mind for my anniversary gift! Also a little champagne & chocolates, and a nice dinner added would make the deal sweeter!
Good luck and have a great anniversary.
:)
