1St Wedding Anniversary Paper

[Greedyfly]

Hello

It's our first wedding anniversary in a few weeks and I'm stumped on any gift let alone the tradition of paper.

I thought tickets but he isn't into music etc and I can't afford to splash out on a trip.

Any ideas? He is really into WW1 and WW2 memorabilia - but u can't think if anything paper based besides books which he won't read

Besides that he loves films and is a big geek in terms of Marvel etc but dies not collect comics

I'm a words he's difficult :)

Please help

Paper money is always acceptable. :-)

Can you get a facsimile of a newspaper which declares the beginning of one of the wars. I'm sure you can but I don't know where you get them from.

[sandyRoe]

Seriously, what about this, a book of WW11 posters? And happy anniversary.

He might appreciate a hardback copy of "Giles at War". Giles was a cartoonist.

Other vendors are available.

Cinema tickets instead of music ones?

What about a subscription to Empire or other film magazine?

[Greedyfly]

Thanks for the ideas, I've just had one of my own - he really likes the lion king film (childhood fave) so thinking theatre tickets but finding it hard to find the tickets, travel and stay for reasonable cost. Will keep trying, if not u have your ideas to look into. Thanks all

Regarding Tilly's suggestion:

If you enter historic newspapers into Google, you can see a lot of websites

The Lion King is a great idea. There is a company called ' Superbreak ' that do a lot of theatre/ hotel deals, worth a look on there. I've used them before and had no problems.

You could leave his "private" hobbies and interests alone and give him a really nice quality normal size card with a picture of your happy self which he can keep on his desk or in his den.

Jokingly, a porn magazine

A History subscription to a mag perhaps - tickets to one of the Military museums like the Imperial War Museum http://www.iwm.org.uk/visits/iwm-london There's one in Manchester too.....

Just do what we used to do a nice cosy dinner for two in his favourite restaurant. Gifts don't matter its the being together just the two of you that matters. Go to the restaurant personally a few days before and ensure you get the right table and maybe a order a small cake, let the management know its a special, occasion just for two.

One year gift???? its getting that way they will be having a happy fart's day shortly, Miserable? No, sensible maybe.

A shopping voucher for a store he might like?

Where are you based?

I know someone who gave his wife four rolls of toilet paper for their first anniversary.

He gave her a proper gift too but it's nowhere near as memorable.

[Retrochic]

seriously are you getting really so concerned about getting your OH a gift appropriate to your anniversary? he's a man -he won't have a clue its a 'paper' anniversary . Is he getting uptight about what to get you? I would be a bit miffed getting a paper gift anyway, a nice piece of jewelry to celebrate one year together would be a better idea. We've been married 23 yers but never bought gifts for each other, I don't need a 'reward' for sticking with him (actually I probably do come to think of it). Go for a romantic picnic weather permitting, or a romantic meal.
