The DH and I will be celebrating our 2/10 anniversary in June. 2 years since we were married, 10 years together (yep, planned the wedding for the same day as we met - less to remember!)
He says he doesn't want anything I can afford. We need a new tv - our 32 inch blew up 2 months ago. We have an 11 inch now from my university days! Besides the tv, he wants welding torches, which I cannot afford. And parts for his motorcycle that I can't afford either - rims and suspension. He doesn't wear watches or jewellery. Sometimes I have to remind him he owns a wedding ring (doesn't wear it to work or on the bike). And he doesn't want clothes. He's not a sports fan - we only watch sports that involve engines and tires! (not Nascar either). And he's not the athletic type either.
Last year I got him a card. He didn't get my anything. My grandma gave us roses and my mum bought us gift certs for our favorite Chinese restaurant.
What do you give your hubby or significant other? Husbands out there, what is the best gift from your wife? (besides nooky!)
HELP!! I've got one month, I need some advice!
Thanks all!

We don't do the gift giving in my house. On our anniversary we play favorite things.
We each make a card to give to the other person which lists all the things we want to do that day. The other person then tries to fulfill the wishes.
Example of some are:
french toast for breakfast
time alone in the bathtub (no interruptions - kids, pets, phone, dumb questions)
eat out a favorite place
not having to run any errands
a foot rub
we also try to be as nice as possible to each other that day, and remember not to take advantage of each other in our marriage....at least for a day
I know it's kinda weird, but it helps us remember why we love each other and why we are friends
