Go by the Book

There are traditional gift guidelines for anniversaries from the first through the 90th. Each year there's a new framework for you to work within while searching for the perfect gift. Some people find this incredibly controlling and others find it super helpful. The real question to ask is whether your sweetheart would like a traditional gift or an out of the box one?

Dream with Her

She has probably told you about what she dreams of doing one day. Help her make that a reality somehow and she'll know, without a doubt, how much you love her.

Make it for Her

Yes. Make her something. When is the last time you got out your tools and made something in the kitchen, the garage or somewhere else? Show her your skills and make her something useful or simply beautiful. Taking the time and thought to make her a gift will go down in history as one of the most romantic and thoughtful gifts ever.

Take Her Out

Has she always wanted you two to tango? Or, does she love hitting up hot new restaurants? Be her knight. Even if you're not a fan of doing those things, put a smile on and show her a good time the way that she wants to do it and she'll never forget your generosity.

Show Her Your Romantic Side

When is the last time that you watch a romantic movie with her? What was it? Does she read romance novels? Crack one open and see what's in there. Recreate a scene, put a quote in your card or get inspired by how the couple treats each other.
