It's my 1 year anniversary with DF and we are trying to save at the moment so have agreed to not buy each other anything but I'd like to make him something, the only thing I can think of though is a mix cd but I need more ideas! Also I'm going to get DD to make him a card or something too!

Vouchers for services from you..

Massage
Foot rub
Run a bath for him
Mow the lawns
Spoil him for a day

etc

We got a picnic basket and bottle champagne and went to the place where we married. Didn't cost a cent in the end as my mum organised the food for us

Oh happy 1st Anniversary.

All the ideas are great!

Hows about baking a really beautiful rich chocolate cake?

Cooking a lovely dinner?

A big bubble bath with candles and champagne for the both of you *wink wink*

Hmmmm let me put my thinking cap on x

I presented one of our wedding photos in a frame with our vows printed on photo paper. The only cost was the frame - about $15 and the photo paper. First wedding anniversary gifts are paper so this also fits.

Enjoy your first of many wedding anniversaries!

This what I did one year and was so special.

I set a picnic on a rug with lots of candles at a park by the river. I had a friend minded it while I went and got my hubby. She snuck off as soon as we arrived. It was a huge supprise and very romantic.
