To all you romantics out there!

[Jarahl]

So I've got an anniversary coming up (Tomorrrow actually - fuck me) and I am absolutely blank.

So I am calling upon teh howleh Freddyshouse to aid me in this problem.

Anyone got any ideas? Think of this like my brainstorm, expect there will be no storming in my brain - except maybe a brainfart

Any input is welcome

A coffin always makes a great anniversary present.

 

[Vasconcelos]

The classics never fail:

- dinner in a good place (or a special place for you)
- a present (maybe a good parfum, fancy ring/necklace/pendants, flowers, a gadget/ipod/mobile she mentioned she wanted...)
- a night of love (dont just fuck her brains out )

OK firsly what anniversary is it? Is it your first year, month, week (lol don't think I'm joking I know people who made a big deal of it) or a lot longer? Because the kind of gift depends on how well you know the person (for example, B2 got me an electric blanket for our last anniversary, if it was our 1st anniversary i'd probably have been a bit Oo but twas out 8th and we know eachother well enough to know whats what).

Secondly, what are you going to do? Do you have a day trip planned or maybe going out for a meal or something? If not I suggest you book a table for dinner, as least that's something and if you are not both working maybe look and see if there are any events or things you can go and see before hand? (We went for a poke round a nearby town and went in the museum and an exhibition about enid blyton)

Thirdly, make sure you have her a nice card, make one yourself if you like write a poem in it w/ever (you know her...or should lol, you should know what she'd appreciate) because that's the thing I always go "awww" over is the card. A nice touch would be to bring er breakfast in bed (tea and toast is fine, or splash out on a crossant, or just a cuppa coffee if there's not much time) with her card and a (or a bunch of) flower/s...I'd say you can pick them from the garden bt in this weather good luck lol.

2 things that I always love on valentines or anniversaries are flowers and choccies...hell choccies I love any time of year tbh but that's just me.

Good luck with it and remember it is the thought that counts but you have to show you have put thought into it lol, hope you both have a lovely day (it's your day too so make sure to choose stuff you'll both enjoy!!) and congrats

:lol:

 

[old.Tohtori]

'Forget' it and if she gets all angry about it, just go 'I don't need some extra special day for that 'cause every day is like that for me.'

Then when she gets all agreeable, BOOM! Necklace headshot!

 

[Bugz]

Not going to lecture him on how he has a failed relationship because he doesn't know what to buy Toht?

 

[TdC]

Thanks for an honest and useable reply

It is 2 years and we've been having a rough winter, with loads of stress and work, so I want to do something nice for her. She is usually knackered when she gets home from work so I plan on doing stuff at home. Also it's a friday so we both got work.

I think I am gonna use the card thing, we are kinda low on cash so present might be tough, but I'll see if I can think of a small thing that she has mentioned (hell I just gave her an Ipod for xmas).

Sofar I am thinking, take out dinner (her favorite take out ofc), set a pretty tabel, get fancy dressed for when she gets home, a good movie and ofc candles.

I seem to have lost my romantic touch

Nah, Seel has seen my missus' boobies in the Boob thread, so I am sure he is gonna back me up with any serious ideas he has

a 'pearl necklace'?

 

[tierk]

Forget the dinner outside. Make the dinner yourself, candles and yes dress up for her as well. Presents don't have to be expensive to be appreciated, as EZ said Chocolate is always a win and don't forget the flowers!!

What i did one year for an anniversary present for one of my X's, one that was special, was all the above and then - i am scared to share this with peeps on here to be honest - i performed a strip tease for her with music and a Policeman's outfit, handcuffs, whipped cream etc.

Worked a treat and trust me when i say it as a night to remember!! We still talk about it even today, well whenever i am back in London.

First a dinner, then go take her to a concert or a musical/opera. After that surprise her with the sextoy at home and have some fun.

Yesyes of course i forgot the necessary steps before you use the sextoy, damn!

Prerequirements. They are a bitch but they have got to be done (occasionally), just like foreplay!

 

[Olgaline]

Take her to a football match, then to the local lan party, later take her out together with all your "common"
aka "your" friends at the pub. (afterall isnt that how she always refers to what essentially are HER friends ?)

finish the night with a romantic drunken sexoring followed by the obligatory quick midsex dash to the loo for a throwup..
and back, leave her aching for more for a while, she'll be electric when you return from your "loo adventure" all freshend up

oh and ofcause, for gods sake remember to dress classy!
soemthing in this region wuold be accepteble

[Huntingtons]

surprise rape. her sister.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Oh i was being serious

Thinking no gift -> get crappy gift -> crappy gift best gift ever!

Female psychology 1O1!

a 'pearl necklace'?

That's more of a gift for him though

nice nice I like it, I tell you one of the nice things B2 did for me was (this wasn't on an occasion, I was just knackered form work lol) stick cheese on toast under the grill and give me a foot rub while twas toasting.

If you don't want to shell out of gifts, I made B2 a voucher stating that 'The bearer of this voucher is entitled to free back rubs whenever he wishes'...he found it the other day and brandished it at me lol

you haven't lostyour romantic touch though bud, we often go for a day trip on an occasion then come home for home cooked and a dvd, it's lovely

 

[Olgaline]

Seems to me your doing just fine
all you need, "in a years time" is a little more time to plan.
that way you can cook a home made meal as well, and it's quite simple
even if one has work that day.

buy most of what you need in the week leading up, and keep the grosseries as hidden as possible, arrange an early day with your boss say 4 or 3pm instead of 5:30 wich should leave you pleanty time to do the final shopping gather what you've already bought, bring it all into the house, do some light cleaning, take a shower, shave, place some fresh flowers around the house "but save one flower and keep it close to your in the kitchen, open the wine, light some candles preper the simple yet romantic "also cheat as much as posible by making as much as you can prior to the evening"

meaning if it's possible to simply re-heat then by all means take that option. although it's often tempting, dont go much over 2 courses max 3 if one of them is realy simple and easy..after all she wants you company not mearly the food, so if your off slaving at the stove and prepering complicated dishes, she'll be sitting alone most of the evening, hardly romantic right back on track, next step put on some light jazz, "even if thats not usually your thing "find it" it works to set a mood, "and for gods sake not too loud, it's only mood music. Nothing complicated or fancy though..but not to cliche either or it'll fall flat on it's face...

now when she comes home, dont jump her, just let the light sent of food beeing made and candle lights + the smooth musik and lighting get to her, when she aproaches you, give her a kiss, hand her the simgle flower, tell her you love her, pour her a glass of wine "f.exp white or rosé or if your really swazey champange I'd go for white though. now politly ask her to put on something nice, and let her take her time with what ever she's going to do, and accept it "if jumpers is what she wants, then keep yar trap shut and just compliment her.

have 2 or 3 smaller presents ready, and give one before each meal. and explain its significance, as to why you chose that particular gift.
exp a card, then juwelry then chocolates..."if classics" or what ever you have in mind...

then simpy spend a quite evening together, watch a movie after dinner if you rented one..and jsut enoy each other and at least for one evening forget the rest of the world, that'll be back in due time come morning..


ps: when I say light smooth jazz I mean something like
YouTube- Smooth jazz music ( instrumental music, piano music, nu jazz, lounge music, chillout music )

[Lethul]

and if all else fails, buy her shoes!

 

[Ezteq]

and if all else fails, buy her shoes!

Nooooooooooooooo!!

lol I would never recommend surprise shoes (although there obviously must have been many cases where this was a success) because shoes (and feet) are funny things and whereas one pair of size 5 shoes on a size 5 pair of feet fit perfectly and it's like having your toes kissed by angels, another pair of size 5s on the same feet can be like walking about in a pair of mousetraps filled with very angry bull ants!

...Unless you bring her with you when you buy the shoes that'd work.
