25 Years.

So the wife and I are celebrating our 25th anniversary today. Being the slack person I am, I still haven't bought her anything. Ideas. Yeah, I know silver but beyond that...

Take her out for a nice evening. Dinner and what ever.

Do something mind bogglingly creative. I made mine at work during lunch hours from stuff at craft stores.

I put a trinket (charm thing, whatever) on a ribbon and tied a piece of card stock to the other end. The card stock went into a vase. The trinket hung over the edge on the outside. So, for instance, a beat up bottlecap tied to a ribbon. The cardstock said:

To everyone else, our life may not always look perfect, but it is"

Repeat with as many cute and clever things I could come up with. She cried. I think in a good way.

Given the standard answer on this board, I'd say you've got a few hours to find her a Miata...

to help you narrow it down.

Miata?

First- congratulations. Second- for the love of God man get it in gear and do something, anything...this is one of those "I don't really care" things where most women really do care. I hit my wife with a surprise Macbook for 10 which was a big hit

That sounds painful.

Yep, I've got our 10 year coming up in a couple weeks. Need to do something with little cash.

Congratulations.

I'd say that after 25 years, you've got a better idea of what to do to make this particular woman happy than we do

Guess it depends on where he hit her

It won't be anywhere near as painful as where she hits him if he doesn't get his a$$ in gear.

Dude, if you haven't done anything by now, I wouldn't spend much time reading this forum. Think...fast. It's got to have something with meaning to her. A simple piece of jewelry, unless it had deep sentimental value to her, ain't gonna do it. Too late to throw a party or something. Find what's going to be really emotionally meaningful for her and buy it/do it. Women are different than us men...they don't get excited over a new impact gun....well, they might but we won't go into that on this fourm...

ok ok maybe "hit" wasn't the best use of the English language especially with the bunch of police on here. Mea culpa

My wife works at a Hallmark Card Store and I didn't get her a card for our anniversary last Valentine's day. Yeah, that day.

I figured she touched so many cards all week she wouldn't care.

Wrong. Get something good!

Sorry, "what ever" stops after the third year at best.

Sorry, I forgot to say congrats. In this day and age 25 years is something to be proud of. How many of todays' youth will ever see 25 years married to the same person?

Maybe a night out on her own? Just kidding.

Our 25th is this year as well.

We have a deal. Her hobby is all inclusive vacations on the beach, and you know what mine is. She doesn't question my toys, and I don't question her trips. We're both reasonable, so it works.

I took her to Aruba for 2 weeks, and we hit some of the finer restaurants this time. Book something last minute (it's a lot cheaper).

Congrats - hit ours last August.

Not just any miata - silver miata. Mrs. Oldtin likes turquoise boxes - like the ones tiffany stuff comes in.

The reason I like this forum so much is it causes me to laugh out loud so much.
