Hey Yall, your southern friend has a 16yr anniv coming up this weekend.
I can't come up with anything to get BH for a gift. Of coarse he would be happy with sex (as always), but whatever, he gets that quite often. Last year on our 15th he bought me a beatiful diamond anniv ring. I can't top that not even if I tried.
What have yall given your husbands, or and ideas? HELP
Heres a idea
Ok..make a good dinner( his fav dish), get some wine , light you candles( as many as you can light all over the house) , buy some pretty flowers to set off the table,
After dinner and wine give a full body massage ( with some good body oil from (bed and bath if you have one at the mall there).. buy a sexy nighty.. throw on some sexy music and put on one heck of a dance for him, Then tell him how you got the strawberrys and cream and have fun.
Sounds like fun, he'll remeber that for a life time !!
p.s have a nice hot shower running on his return home while you get yourself ready
HA HA HA
When I was married to my ex we were wathcing the movie "True Lies." If anyone has ever seen it, Jamie Lee Curtis does a really sexy dance. My ex asked me why I never dance like that for him. I told him Honey, when you start looking like Arnold Scwarzanegger (sp), I'll dance my little heart out for you!
There you go !
I would probably be to embarrassed to dance !! Body image & all. I could go and buy PVC pipe and spray paint it gold and rig it up in our room somehow. That is pretty fun !!!

For Stepwitch :)
I like the idea too, and as far as you dancing.. remember he loves you anyways, and your beautiful to him no matter what!
Step outside your usual shell because it will shock him and be totally unexspected( I am sure you would leave him speechless).
Have a couple glasses of wine before he gets home so your more relaxed and have a little bit more courage, practice your sexy moves in front of a mirror so you have more confidence( may sound silly but it works). Its both your night.. You own that night together so spin his head and drop it like its hot
Dh and I go shopping
For a mutual gift for the house. We also go out for a nice dinner and of course he gets lucky. I think the gift for the house is my gift and DH is completely happy with the getting lucky and dinning portion of the evening!
It was of course my idea for the house gift. But I do like that when people compliment me on one of them (so far we have a print of Klimt's The Kiss, for our bedroom (first anniversary - paper) And we also got a tree of life tapestry (2nd anniversary- cotton.) Third is leather or glass/crystal (I know which one DH would be hoping for- and it would go with his favorite part of the night
Here's a list of traditional gifts

Maybe that will give you some ideas.
I Peace, love, and red wine
the dance
wear something small and, well small and he won't care how you dance. I practiced strip for exH a few times to a song and let me just say , you will most likely not make it all the way through.
Has he done the race car thing out in Millington, driven a race car?
what about planning a trip now for Gatlinburg, or soemwhere with cabins for the fall and give it to him? I would loev to make it to 16 years to ask this question!!

16yrs totally unbelievable . . . . .
Can't believe it myself need2vent. Thanks for all the ideas. He is really a simple man, and would not even expect a thing. I think that he is just really glad SD was the only one who got kicked out Know What I Mean. It has been a pretty good marriage, he loves me dearly, but I know that he wishes that SD would be apart of it, but she just won't allow herself to happy, therefore, no one is happy.
We are planning dinner and then going to listen to a live band in East Memphis Friday night. Beale Street gets old. Any way, whatever we do, we are going to do just us toooooooooooo!!

If you are shy
about dancing, maybe work up to it with a massage for him. I don't know any guy that doesn't love a massage, especially when they aren't expected to reciprocate. Also, I would bet a lot of money that I don't have that your guy thinks you are gorgeous and the cat's meow. I'll bet you can think of something along these lines and still feel comfortable. Good luck and congrats on the anniversary!
