Any ideas for an anniversary present that can be bought/made without spending more than $15?
Good question! I am going to follow this one closely…
Sometimes the best present costs very little money.
Take a nice picture that you have. Buy a frame that’s bigger than the picture.
Make a backing out of construction paper, and write some nice things around the edges. It can be something that will remind the person of when the picture was taken, or just a nice endearment.
You can also give coupons that you make yourself – “Good for one night of no cleaning up” or “Good for a private walk at the time of your choosing.”
How about a wallet or keychain? Or a Sefer or book?
intellegent- nope nothing…
Too cheap…
Getting a better job?
an idea for kids to do for parents, some I know made a fake roll of film, she took yellow and black oaktags and when the ‘film’ waz unrolled she had blown up pictures starting from their wedding pix till that day. It was very cute.
But for a spouse dunno maybe prepare a quiet candlelight dinner at home and buy a huge bouquet of roses…
The economy is not great, even for those fortunate enough to be employed.
How about a box of chocolate and a nice card?
Offer to do the dishes for a week. (or laundry etc)
This assumes a) the gift is not for a spouse and b)the couple has a child(ren).
Offer to watch the kids so the couple can go out and spend some time by themselves for a few hours.
intellegent; ya gotta give us some details for who, parent, spouse, grandparent? maybe we could come up with something
Present for Spouse. Just wish her Happy Anniversary!!! And no I’m not a marriage councilor…
Obviously not 🙂
mdlevine: come on splurge on your wife of 20 years!!!
intellegent,
One idea for an anniversary gift for a spouse is to prepare his/ her favorite supper & present it as elegantly as possible. A nice card is appropriate too (even a dollar store card is good if one writes a thoughtful message inside).
Intellingent: How about aranging a party- invite married friends- each person brings a different food.. so you only $pend on the small ______(meaningfull card) that you give…. :o)
Could something along those lines work?
asdfghjkl, listen – the truth is I was willing to go to $20. :o)
no one tell my wife, but I have a big night planned
I am taking her to the Pizza shop for a slice of whole wheat pizza and a soda. If the mrs. wants something, I’ll let her get something also.
then we are going to go to the mall and walk around for a few hours.
after that we will go home, she’ll make the kids lunches for the next day, wash-n-dry the dinner dishes and put them away, sweep the floors, take out the garbage, throw the clothes from the washer into the dryer and start another load, write a few mitzvah notes, portion out the snacks, check to make sure everyone is a bed – not necessarily the correct bed – but at least in the bed, listen to the answering machine, check to see of the dryer is ready and change the baby. Me, I’ll just check my email look at YW and go to sleep.
mdlevine: i hope you treat your patients better then your wife!!! lol
asdfghjkl,
I can assure you that I have no patience and my wife and kids can vouch for that. oh, and I do not have patients either. the md does not stand for doctor.
mdlevine: lol got it!!!
md = EDITED. ????

Intellegent, you can get one of those keychain digital picture frames. They are usually around $15-$20 at CVS (probably cheaper other places) and then upload pictures of the two of you. This way, he will always be reminded of you no matter where he goes (and when the baby comes, he can post pictures of those too!)
DELETED – You know why!! If I let that comment get through, I would lose my moderators license. YW Moderator-72
How are you feeling BTW?
Hi Intellegent.
I don’t know why everyone (except for SJSinNYC) assumed you’re a guy. I seem to recall from previous posts that you are the lady in the house, and that you live in E”Y (Yerushalyim I think?).
And now for my two cents…My wife will occasionaly get me a belt. When on sale, you can usually find a beautiful belt for $15.00 or less.
Most importantly, splurge on the accompanying card. That’s what really counts.
“My wife will occasionally get me a belt.”
Can be understood in two ways actually. 😉
Was a bit surprised upon first reading! There’s a hotline for that sort of thing! lol
noitallmr: you should do comedy!!!!
Intellegent, I have no idea, but I would say very possibly. Israel often has cutting edge technology and these arent even cutting edge.
I think I remember pertinent information about people I chat with a lot!
asdfghjkl- who says I don’t? 😉
noitallmr: lol ha ha you crack me up!!!!
NEWS FLASH:
mdlevine is a male and intellegent is a female with a husband ????????? that’s insane!
brooklyn19:lol yeah the intellegent one is a scocker!!!
whats insane? sounds quite normal.
No one knows mrs. mdlevine like I do and let me assure all of you that mrs. mdlevine is not intellegent, although she is intelligent. :o)
md – that’s not what i was saying. i always thought you were a woman!
and intell – you’re a married woman??? i thought you were a single guy!
wow i’m so messed up! good thing i don’t have to take a test on this. i’d totally flunk!
i dunno! just an impression i got from your posts! (lol i guess i’m bad at reading those)
intellegent – understood, however, it could have been his name.
most every guess is a good guess, was it an accurate guess? I am only a Moderator, I do not know the real names of all those that post here.
