Ideas for gift?

Ms.BriarRose

We have about a month until FI and I's anniversary, and I wanted to know if you lovely ladies had any ideas on what to do/get him for a gift.  Don't have a ton of money to spend, but want to do something nice.  If it's an event, it has to be handicapped-accessible.He really likes Cirque du Soleil, and they are in town, I was toying with taking him as an early present.  Let's see, he doesn't really have any hobbies (well, he does, but he has every camping tool that you could possibly imagine, and he has a rockclimbing harness, shoes and helmet as well.  He also has every carpentry tool you could imagine), he volunteers big time with the Boy Scouts (he has his Eagle), he loves Family Guy (but has every season except the new one, which is a Christmas present).  He doesn't need cologne.I don't want to do huge, because Christmas is right around the corner, but again, want it to be special.

How about a couples massage?  If he likes camping, could you buy an annual pass to his favorite state/national park for 2010?  I am a big fan of car wash coupons from the place in Prices Corner.

Actually, Santorini, a couples massage is a good idea- do you know someplace decent that doesn't charge an arm and a leg?Rum- I am not buying the couches.  He is.  And I also said that it doesn't have to be a huge amount of money.  $50 is not going to make a difference in buying a couch, especially if we take the no interest financing.  And what has an apostrophe?

We have about a month until FI and I's anniversary,the "I" here should never ever have an apostrophe."our" would have been just as sufficient.

Ms.BriarRose

I thought it would have an apostrophe, since it's possessive.  It is my anniversary.Eh, my english was never that good.  Good call on the use of 'our', though.

I know when fiance and I's (just kidding) anniversary comes around we usually just have a really nice dinner out or at home. We almost never go to a really nice restaurant for surf and turf so this gives us an excuse to spend the extra money. A couple years ago we did a carriage ride in Philly followed by dinner at Chart House. We've also done fondue at home for much cheaper than going to the Melting Pot. I bought an electric fondue pot at Target for about $25. It turns into a long, fun dinner and we spend a lot of the time just talking. I also second the couples' massage... not sure where you can go, but I recall there was a place I looked up once on the Kirkwood Hwy in Newark. Try google!

OMG thank you MiguelHillary!!  You just gave me a great idea to do a nice fondue dinner for him!  My mom has a little crockpot, and I am sure I can find another one for relatively inexpensive (esp non brandname).  That's an awesome idea, and we have never done anything like that before!  Thanks!
