    The first anniversary with my girlfriend is coming up and I'm looking for ideas in terms of presents. I'm looking to make it really special for her.

    Ladies, have youu ever had a standout present?
    I'm thinking of some sort of a collage of present, a stay away and maybe something else?


    How much is reasonable to spend?

    I'm not sure if this is the best forum for this thread but I'd really appreciate any advice!

    1 year with your girlfriend? There's a long road ahead ....

    Don't take her out for a meal, save that one in the bank for what the taken gentlemen refer to as ESO's

    This is the best forum for advice OP.

    You should get her an all for 1 voucher, a Happy Meal and ride her down a pissy Lane.

    You are guaranteed anniversary number 2 than.

    Best of luck buttercup.

    1. Cut a hole in a box
    2. Put your junk in that box
    3. Make her open the box

    OP, you don't want to go too over the top for the first anniversary. You need to leave yourself some room for manoeuvre for the future. There's a long road of present giving ahead potentially. Take her for a nice dinner to celebrate.

    Strap on, the tables will turn and she'll love it.

    A life size cut out of you, or a voucher to get your name tattooed on her


    or jewellery or some **** like that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,284 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Drugs OP nothing say I love you more than a big bag of Cocaine.

    Or dinner and a movie.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,022 ✭✭✭jamesbere


    Nothing says I love you like getting someone prize bonds

    When it comes to anniversary's (and of course depending on the lady in question) I find that the thought is much more important than the price or value of the gift - is there anything she talks about from her childhood that she enjoyed but no longer has?

    A collage isn't a bad idea to be fair as it will be something you've put time and effort into, just don't go overboard with the expressions of love, it's only been a year...

    Buy her a nice fashion ring to wear. €20 or so should do it.

    When you give it to her, kneel down on one knee and just show her the ring.

    You won't believe the reaction she'll give you after you spend only a couple of quid on the thing!!

    Report back post haste with updates...

    Weekend/night away with a spa day is a good present. I'd be happy with that and I'm rarely happy with anything.
    Nice perfume?
    An Alex and Ani bracelet?

    What is she into? How much do you want to spend?

    the colleage is really nice, photobox do some nice little photobooks and stuff,.

    but dont go too made money wise, a weekend away and a gift and a collage is alot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    whoah, steady on there OP. 1 year, eh. Is she the ONE? If so, then don't go overboard, or she will expect something even better next year, and again the following year, etc.. and in 8 or 9 years she will probably be expecting the proposal.

    Slow and steady wins the race. A nice home cooked meal and take the desert to the bedroom.

    Poor OP. Little did he know...

    STD? Nothing says I love you more than a good old fashioned STD.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,044 ✭✭✭Wossack


    I think the old traditional gifts are the best
    Cut off your ear, and post it to her

    best present my current BF gave me was a running medal holder he and his dad made.

    its so cute carved it himself (with his dads help) has my running clubs name and colours and ive been whining about wanting to display them so came home one day and he had it up on the wall with all my medals hanging.

    i just figure it was really thoughtful and he'd made it himself (although i do think his dad did more than they let on :-) )

    If your girl is a keeper OP then something like this would mean more than anything you can get in a shop

    Virginity perhaps, hopefully:D

    A present for yer one year anniversary? Do people do this? Never bought or received an anniversary present. So I'm no help!

    Not really, dresses aren't expensive if you know size etc and buy online in advance. Hotel price depends on the night you go and most give you an evening meal thrown in and spa treatments can be cheap enough depending on what your getting. But sure either way you can't put a price on love ;)

    Make sure she uses a strapon with a small-ish "member" or it can hurt. Pleanty lube needed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 617 ✭✭✭snowbabe


    How about a word picture,you can pick any shape and put all the words that mean things to you both,eg where you met,where you go,special songs etc. This can be framed and is very personal and great fun reading all the words. There are people who do this for you,you just give them the words.Ive had a few done,an 80th birthday,a new baby ,and one for my german pals reminding them of their holiday in Ireland ( that was in the shape of Ireland ) .Not sure I can give you the name of website here ,but pm me if you need to .hth
