My very closest friend and his girlfriend (also my very close friend only on the female end) are having their 5 year anniversary this year. on the 23rd to be exact, need some gift ideas. i have a rough estimate but i dont have a good idea as to what a friend can get a couple for their anniversary...all three of us are friends from middle school and are extremely close with each other.

5th year anniversary gifts are supposed to be wood, by tradition. try this website (or figure out a wooden gift yourself) http://www.uncommongoods.com/search.html/find/?q=wood&9gtype=search&9gkw=5%20year%20anniversary%20gifts&9gad=7833041697&gclid=CITunqH7_LICFYhxQgodAHwAgA Or maybe you should google 5 year anniversary gifts |

On my 5th year anniversary I could have used someone paying for some marriage counseling. |

Does anyone else here not understand marriage? All it seems to be is a contract saying 'we will be together forever' and if the contract is broken the wife takes all your money but in all seriousness, why do you need a piece of paper saying you'll be together forever? why not just be together forever without all that nonsense drama if the two eventually drift apart? |

92xjlaredo - my suggestion is don't *buy* them something , help them by DOING something! ![]() as a "ramen noodle college kid" you've probably got more time than money. If you're handy at all with things, offer to fix or build them something. You know way more about them than any of us random internet folk could ever know, so you probably already have a good idea. If you need to give them an object, give them a happy anniversary card and something saying you'll offer X hours of time to repair/build/etc. Benefits --it's free, or minimal cost (cash wise) --it's intangible , meaning it's not just something that will be spent frivolously or stuffed in the closet like so many gift cards/things are --They'll probably have more appreciation for you actually doing something for them, than just buying something. It will make you look good ![]() Above all, it's really rare for someone these days to actually take time out of their busy lives and help out with something. We are a consumerist society, and good old fashioned handiman work is a real rare gift

Marriage is betting someone half of all your S#@T to someone the you'll love them forever. Or the other way around

I've never married, and doubt it will be soon but eventually possibly. Staying cheap personally is probably the best litmus test though - if your significant other's willing to stick it out for the long haul while you're totally broke, that's better than starting out rich and finding out the hard way

Get them a marriage FSM (field service manual) The Bible. Sign it, date it, and give it. Could very well become a family heirloom. You don't work on your car without a manual. At least you shouldn't. Why work on a marriage without one? Call a Gideon, tell them your story, and they'll give you one for free. http://www.superpages.com/bp/Pittsburgh-PA/The-Gideons-International-L2061835411.htm Maybe even pick on up for yourself. A "ramen noodle college kid" donation will be gladly accepted, but not necessary. |
