Default anniversary ideas

i have really dropped the ball on this one. the 28th of this month is my wife and i 5 year anneversary, and i have nothing planned. we havent done anything for our anniversary since weve been married(busy with life). cant go on vacation or anything like that(no babysitters for that length of time) we can MAYBE swing an overnight stay somewhere nice. budget isnt really of concern, i just need a few ideas pretty quick. lol.

Get a baby sitter, cook her a nice dinner, set the table with some candles, enjoy.

There's a site called 24krose. Com . They take a real rose and dip it in either pure 24 k gold or they dip it in clear coat and then highlight the edges. It really cool and it's about 50$ for a rose that lasts forever . So she will never be without a rose. Then get her a card that's says I just wanted to get a rose that will last forever like my love for u. That's what I did and she brags all the time to her friends and I look like a knight in shining armor and it only cost like 50-75$ depending on which one. The key is the sentimental card that will seal the deal. Hope this helps good luck

I'd say a cabin at the lake or a beach house. Depending on your flavor.

Maybe find something you two like to do (Fish, camp, hike, etc.) and find a city that offers it with a nice place to stay.

mines on may 1st. Dont have much money, going to take her to her favorite restaurant and a movie. We're both so busy I think time alone without interruption is what she wants most.

Combine these three.

i would love to keep it simple, and just cook her dinner with some candle light, but we live with the inlaws right now while we are having a house built. mostly what she wants is just a little relaxation time without our two sons, or her parents... i think im going to look up some b&b places outside houston, and have a nice candlelight dinner, and a nice breakfast

Buy her a supercharger for your truck. Every time you nail the throttle and smile, you'll be thinking of her. ...or something like that.

Oh, and put your wiener in her. That'll make it real special!

Don't know where or how you two met, but take her back through when/where you first met. Keep it simple and look at where you two have come. You can't go wrong with that, a nice, simple meal, and a gift that you put thought into. Giving gifts is all good, but if you can make her feel special and make it memorable at the same time, you've really done something.
