Yup it's that time of year again! I can't believe I will have been married for 4 years tomorrow! If you missed reading about the first three years you can read about some gift ideas here and about what we got each other here.
So as you know Max and I follow the traditional gifts for each year and try to do something cheap and fun. This year is fruit/flowers which is either really super easy or really hard. You can always go with a bouquet of flowers or edible arrangements but those have been done before so I am trying really hard to come up with something a little more creative.
Note : Max - That being said if your plan is to send 100 roses to my office a la How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days style I wouldn't be mad :)
So here are a few of the ideas I've come up with so far :
1) Fruit with little loves notes attached. This is healthy, cute, and super easy!
2) Fruit paired with different flowers. Make a bowl of strawberries surrounded by roses, Blueberries surrounded by blue Peonies, Kiwi surrounded by succulents (not technically a flower but what the hell else goes with kiwi's :) )
3) Fruit scented perfume
4) Rose colored Jewelry. Origami Owl has some great lockets that are changeable! Put some fun flowery, fruity, and love related charms in a rose colored locket and chain and you can't lose!
4) Bouquet of fruit flavored candy
5) Fruit of the month club
6) Buy only exotic fruit you have never tried and go on a world wide tour of fruit right in your own home!
7) Spend the day together making your own caramel apples or fruity desserts.
8) Spend the night together making fruity cocktails and eating chocolate covered fruit.
9) Sprinkle rose petals the floor in front of the tv, grab some blankets, fruity candy and enjoy a great movie!
10) Have a fondue night with chocolate and fruit and use different flowers to decorate the table. Maybe even include some fake ones for keepsakes.
There are a ton of options! I can't wait to celebrate another year with the man of my dreams :)

ReplyDeleteJust a brilliant post. We also tied the knot one year ago and now planning a grand first anniversary party for our special day. At the local LA venues we are planning to throw a rustic chic themed bash. Feeling super excited!
