I need help!! My first anniversary to my husband and I'm clueless! He is one hard sucker to buy for! I wanted to stay traditional with paper, so I was thinking magazine subscriptions, personalized notepaper for his office, or if that didn't work, a cigar case. I just don't know! Any suggestions?
He hates concerts and is Traveling for work, so a surprise trip isn't something he'd care for.

For my first anniversary I made him a small scrapbook with all the reasons I loved him. It was simple, easy and fit the paper tradition.

We don't buy each other anniversary gifts. We go do something together instead.

My husband gave me a paper clock. For gifts, paper is traditional and clocks are modern. I gave him a paper gift certificate to take me out to dinner at the restaurant of our first date. This was before the plastic gift cards were thought around.
After the first few years we stopped doing gifts. We either go out of town for the weekend or just go to a nice restaurant for dinner.

Congratulations! For ours, I got my DH some blank note cards that had his initials on them to use at work. I also got a desk organizer type thing that has a small clock and a place to put pens and pencils. It also has a spot to slide a wallet photo in. I put a wallet size photo from our wedding in it. We celebrate 6 years on Saturday and he still has the desk organizer thing on his desk

I bought Dh tickets for an NHL game and he bought me tickets to Stomp so what about tickets to the theatre or a sporting event.

We bought a coffee table book about the place where we got engaged (Newport, RI). You could also do where you went on your honeymoon, had your first date, etc.

You don't mention a budget, but for our first anniversary, we went away for the weekend. If we don't do a trip, we usually get something together for the home.
You could do movie tickets, a piece of art or even just a print.

Dh did paper for me on our first anniversary - he bought me seasons tickets to a local theatre. 5 plays throughout the season. I really enjoyed that gift!

You guys are way more creative then I am. We don't exchange for Anniversary. Though I did hint two years ago that when we got to 25 years I would like a ring........... yea that didn't happen. 25th was in May.

We exchanged cards the first year (paper). After that we decided we didn't need more more paper waste.
We don't bother with gifts. We love each other dearly but don't need more stuff would rather put the money we would spend on gifts into a city break or nice meal.
We do however but each other gifts throughout the year. Just today I had a shirt delivered that he wanted at the start of the summer but had been out of stock (eBay to the rescue); he will be really pleased with it
