  • Aww...I just had to stop by and give you points for being sweet. LU!
  • Make the whole day a game. Buy a gift for each other and hide it somewhere. Throughout the day, make sure hints are placed strategically so that your sweetie will find them occasionally, and in order. This might take a little time, but it's really fun to do. Try to time it so that the whole day is filled with a bit of anticipation!
  • Congratulations. The spousal Unit and I celebrate ours on 2 February! Great minds and all of that..... Since this year it is falling on the weekend you could spend all day at it. Doing things you LIKE to do together at home is recommended. Even if it is something like playing WOW or Toon-town or other online games - your doing something together. Our tentative plans depends on the weather. A Late after noon "pick-a-nick" Across the river at the state park is on the list of potential things to do. The drive is not that far (less than 1.5 miles by way of the road, a literal stone throws away across the river which runs at the back of property). If its raining we will "pick-a-nick" here at home. The living-room floor is good enough. We already "gifted" ourselves. We went together to the stores and picked an item that we needed/wanted for the house - it was a relatively "expensive" item it was "dutch treat". I'm not going to say exactly what, however I think that two people who are together can think of many "expensive" or "big purchase" items they can get together that both can use or feel ownership on. do that once a year each and every year and you start stacking up enough items to where divorce means you have to take out a chain saw... divorce becomes a "bad" idea - ;-). That requires a bit more planning, you need to start a few months in advance saving up the money. We have the Anniversary Jar (Formerly known as the swear Jar) where we not only toss our change but also toss in a few bills each payment period. figure $10.00 a week from each spousal unit you end up with $1040.00 by the end of a year - if both toss in $25.00 then you end up with $2600.00 - that is enough to make a "big" if not a major purchase or a sizable down payment on things like stoves, dishwashers, china, silverware, etc. We started that jar on our 3rd anniversary. It becomes a gentle reminder through out the rest of the year of our commitment with one another and our long term plans to stay together. I have a little romance planned - already got the candles (hidden) and a few other things to make the bedroom "special".... I leave that up to your imagination.
  • Have a private Super Bowl party. Cook for each other. Take a walk or drive to a scenic area and just spend time with each other. BTW: February 3rd is my sister's birthday:-)
  • You might discuss what your partner thinks would be a good way to spend the celebration. That will help you make a decision.
