What did you get your SO for your one year?

Do tell.

Did you go all out or just somthing cheap and sweet?

Is the one year anniversary a big deal?

Dinner at a nice restaurant: $150.
Gund stuffed cow and tickets to a play: $255.


Getting laid: Priceless.


For everything else, there's Mastercard.

And yes, 1-year anniversaries are big deals to the girl...at least in all (that would be 3 for anyone who gives a fark) the relationships I've been in that made it past one year.

Every date has significance to women. Take her somewhere nice for dinner, get her some flowers and a personal gift.

I cant remember but it prolly involved sex.

It REALLY depends on the girl. Personally, more than 1 flower is overkill for me.

It definitely depends..

I got something that only she'd appreciate.. I recommend the same to all of you. Get something original!

I've only had one one-year anniversary. When I was 20, I gave her, my now ex, a diamond pendant necklace.

Dont make the mistake of starting a trend you cant or dont want to follow up on....if it starts BIG....it only gets BIGGER next year/years. I say stay with dinner and maybe flowers or something delivered to her job (they love that shit....makes em look good in front of their friends). DONT get a new car or something...

Put it this way....first car I got my girlfriend at the time....(14 years ago or so) Cutlass....then I got her a Caddy when that clapped out....now its a Lexus.....

Then reality comes around....she doesnt see it. Wont EVER step backwards.....so whats fucking next...a Jag or something? Dont make my mistake....take BABY steps man.....cause it only gets worse....no matter what your intentions may have been!

Actually, that's what I thought too...




Maybe CS did some major begging over the last few weeks...or, he's just in denial over their breakup.

Definitely something original or something you think *she'd* like. I like it when people come up with their own unique idea instead of going with 'the usual' or 'typical'. Do something that will be special for her, not what a thousand other people thought was special for their S.O. You know her better than we do, Jesal.

I wouldn't go overkill though. It shouldn't be about how much you spend. If it's something she's been talking about or something you think she'd want or like, she'll like it regardless of cost.

Just my

Oh i wasnt asking for ideas really. I know everyone is different.

I was just wondering what everyone else did on theirs.

Also dont you think im a big enough attention whore to make a thread if we actually broke up.

A diamond necklace. I agree with Mike Benz though. If you start big, the'll expect something bigger every year. It's been 9 years now and I've ran out of ideas, so for the last 2 years, its been flowers and a dinner.

Mine is approaching in about 4 months. I plan to do flowers and dinner, probably give her a low to moderately priced Tiffany's bracelet, probably no more than $200-300 and well

Ya...I was just using the car thing as an example....but it can get way out of hand real quick in any area. I didnt get her a car for our first anniversary or anything...but did eventually end up busting out the cash for another ride so I didnt have to pick her up all the time, ect....but the car thing has gotten out of hand in our household.....she doesnt need a friggin Lexus GS400 to drive around the corner less than 3 miles to work and back each day...but it is what it is I guess I started it...so who can I blame? It becomes the minimum acceptable transportation to some degree....and this can be crossed over to this example easily....do something overly big the first year and then try for beers and a lay the next....see what happens! After you get your dick out of your hand ...you can come back here and tell us I was right!

Negative. We did not go out to dinner, I would have remembered. Maybe got drunk but what else is new. And we did not do anything for Year 1.

I got her a swift kick to the curb.

However, since it seems like your relationship is actaully working I would do a nice dinner or a night out. Focus it around something she likes, or something meaningful that you guys did. Going to the first spot you first met sometimes works.

I would also not share what you are doing since she might read the same forums, and that would ruin the surprise... if you're doing that kind of thing.

Dinner and a pearl necklace, I think. Times have changed a lot; I think now the one year calls for dinner and a dirty Sanchez.
