URGENT: Anniversary Gift Idea Needed
Quote | Reply
I need urgent help from The Womens!!!

TOMORROW is my 5 year wedding anniversary. I need a clever, and non-internet based, WOOD gift idea for my wife. Some context...

Very active in triathlon
29 years old
39 weeks pregnant with our first

I have some jewelry picked out, but it dawned on my that I want to get her something in-line with traditional 5th anniversary gifts.

If I've learned anything over the last 5 years, its that The Womens ALWAYS know the answer.

Help!

Tom

Here are my ideas:
1. some type of small tree/plant that has wood in it
2. wooden rocking chair if you don't already have one for the new baby's room
3. if you have a fireplace or charcoal grill get some twigs/firewood and make a little picnic with fire (even if you do have the AC on it could still be fun and "different" - certainly memorable), toast smores, share memories & thoughts for the future, etc. Even better if wrap said firewood/twigs with ribbon. :)

My family is Dutch - and we plant trees for new births. When K was born, my Oma gave me a tree to plant in our yard, it was a beautiful pink dogwood. So if you have the space, why not get a really spectacular tree for the yard, for your wife, and then once your bebe is born, get another to match.

Leave it in the little blue bag/box or whatever it came in inside the jewelry box.

So I just searched "wood" (that made me giggle, man I'm bored lol) on the Tiffany & Co. website and they have some fantastic pieces! You'll be a king!

Thank you The Womens!

The idea was a hit. It never dawned on me that her jewelry was a beehive in a drawer rather than well organized and fancy looking. I actually purchased the box at a local super trendy shopping area from a boutique jeweler. I also found a small wooden necklace that matched the little blue box and that was a hit as well. She felt like I really worked hard to get her something special as I didn't go to the big box store shopping areas of town.

It even helped in the evening if you know what I mean. She is 39 weeks pregnant, so the sheets haven't been smoking too much... but they were in a very positive way on Saturday night.



ALL HAIL THE WOMENS!!!
