Thoughtful Anniversary Gifts for Men #1: Engraved Ring

An engraved ring is a thoughtful gift that men can take with them wherever they go. While this doesn't have to be an expensive anniversary gift, you should take the time to choose a thoughtful message. For example, if your partner has said something that meant a lot to you, have that engraved into the ring. It's a reminder of how great of a partner he is.

Fossil has some really creative watches. Whether your partner loves tigers, dragons, or even football, you'll be able to find an anniversary gift that they'll love.

This is a way of expressing your feelings without making him uncomfortable.

Not all men are sex pigs like you, "The Barefoot". There are actually some smart, intellectual guys out there that appreciate tangible gifts other than a woman's body!!

Seriously, I can tell this article was written by a woman without even looking at the name. While maybe one of these is a good idea, the rest are just something WOMEN think would be good for a man. Try asking a man, and I doubt they'll come up with the same ideas.

theBarefoot - I totally agree. First off, yes, SEX. Second, that love letter idea is terrible, because a love letter should ALWAYS be sent "just because." Also, the sex.

Im pretty sure my man wants the same "present" every year, for every holiday :) For PG-13 and under though, this is a great list!

These are the lamest ideas I've ever seen. When will women learn? All guys want for Birthday's, Anniversaries, Xmas, Easter, Arbor Day, Groundhog Day, Columbus Day, the Ides of March, etc. is sex! Sex. Sex. Sex. Just give us that and we're happy. But if you could throw in a sandwich, that would be okay, too.

These are good gift ideas. However as a male and having many uncles in my family. And this is just in my instance, but none of them really want rings, most guys dont really wear them. But then again thats person to person. The Outrageos purchase should be placed higher. Many Men will thank you !!! We do it for the ladies as our first option.

Good work, as usual, Amy.

I like #9, my DH doesn't eat candy :) He can keep the toolbox, I'll eat the contents. No, really I'm just joking - great ideas!

great tips! unfortunately my man's outrageous request for the past year or so has been to get a new big screen tv, but i don't know if i'll be able to swing that bill haha...

Great gift ideas Amy! I like the game rental idea and the engraved ring. So very romantic. bye

I was thinking about #1 since my hubby does not wear a wedding band. The one that came with our ring set is to thin. He wants a plain wedding band. I may do this for another holiday and adding a special message will be perfect. Thanks..

Great gift ideas Amy! My anniversary's coming up in about 2 months... I'm gonna steal some of your tips. :)
