One Year Anniversary gift?
19/F
(not sexually active; just to dismiss that)
So, my boyfriend & I are having our one-year anniversary next week :) The thing is, I'm broke :|
So, I guess I'm going DIY for this one. But I have NO clue what to do for him... I guess a hand-made card is a given, but I've made him 4 unique ones already for christmas, valentine's day, our six months, and his birthday. i've run out of creative ideas! so i guess first of all, does anyone have any ideas on like some kind of creative template for a card? I'll put my own spin on it, of course. But between a pop-up, a heart-shaped, a giant card, a collage, I can't think of any other cheesy cute creative thing I can do with a card. Maybe something with 365 incorporated into it...? I don't know.
Also, anything else I can make him? I know everyone says a frame with a picture of us or something, but we don't really have any...the few that we actually have he already used on a gift for me, so I'd rather not go with that. Any other ideas?
Finally... I want this in addition to e corny little mug. I have a small cheap DIY mug kit that I bought, but the paint it came with, I don't like the colors. I have a little pack of craft paints I wanted to use but I think they'll wash right off... is there anything I can use to seal it all? I was thinking nail polish top coat but I'm not sure it'll hold up..?
Any ideas at all will help! please & thank you :)

I made my boyfriend a photo album, a cake and dinner. Why don't you have him round for dinner, have a movie night?
The mug sounds like a great idea, and use clear nail varnish for the top coat.
You can always put a poem in the card too :)
My boyfriend did the cutest things. He bought a pack of playing cards but BIG ones, took all the "heart" suits from the pack and wrote a reason on each of the cards why he loved me and joint it together with ribbon to make a little book :)

when my fiance and i had our one year anniversary, i didn't have much money either. i had kept old things from our first few dates (movie stubs, football game tickets, the receipt from our first restaurant, etc. things like that) and i grabbed some pics of us together and created a scrapbook :) if you can spare a few dollars, you can go to the dollar store and they have cute things for scrapbooks like stickers and etc. he loved it! hope i helped <3

One of my very most fav DIY gifts that I have recieved from my fiance` was homemade love coupons such as this coupon is good for one kiss, or this coupon is good for a romantic movie, etc. You can throw your own spin on it and it also gives you a chance for a good laugh here and there. You sound very creative so I think this would be an awesome way to show your love and creativity. Good luck :)
