Cook her a full roast with all the trimmings. A bottle of wine or what every you both drink. Should be able to come up under $50 and it makes a nice surprise rather than flowers.

How deep a hole will you be in? A blue box from Tiffany tends to mend any fence, and they've got little trinkets in that range I think.

Seriously, it's farkin ridiculous how effective a blue box can be, you could dump a turd in there and she'd still be over the moon. Laughing

A home cooked dinner, a bottle of wine, some flowers and chocolates should see you through. A hand made anniversary card with something like a scanned wedding photo on it is also a nice touch.

Get her a card telling her how lucky she is you rememberd. Rolling Eyes

Or even just be in a good mood on the day. Sigh, Very Happy

have a bath ready for her with champagne, chocolate coated strawberries and rose petals floating in the water, then give her a full body massage. Or Spend $130 to send her to a day spa. Or you could take her clothes/shoe shopping. Or go on a picnic somewhere nice with a full gourmet lunch, or do something fun and then go out to dinner. or get her a nice heart locket necklace or have a peice of jewellery engraved for her.

I'd do dinner or lunch then you get some of the masticatory action as well. Wink

You blokes have got it easy! Women are so easy to please!

Our two year anniversary i got a bunch of roses at work. That's all. I was happy at the fact he'd remembered! My birthday was the other the day. He made me walk into michael hill jewellers and pick out a bracelet. He also bought me a digital photo frame. Not much, but i'm still happy that he made the effort.

When it comes to us girls buying you lot presents, you don't show any happiness whatsoever with what we chose for you. Even if we've enlisted the help of your brother or mate.

Woah rant over:)

It's easy, walk her into a jewellery shop, explain the tight budget due to your joint(?) NZ trip. Tell her you'll make it up to her over there (think of the exchange rate) and tell her to pick something out.

Bah, easy peasy. Rolling Eyes

hahaha....thank you card.....i dun think that would work. It would make the lingerie kind of pointless!!

She is getting back from London tomorrow and i've been demanding an awesome present! Could have shot myself in the foot with that one.

We have all Friday off together, so i want to make a day of something and maybe picnic and all that gear. Flowers. Maybe some jewllery, but not much i can get for my budget right now, so might be kind of pointless.

hmmmmmm........ still undecided Crying or Very sad

Much to the chagrin of many male outers members, it is painfully obvious that you have never been with a woman.

Buying presents for them is never easy solely based on the fact that no two of you harpies are the same! Whilst the above set of present buying guidelines may work for you, that is absolutely no guarantee that it will work for another member of your coven.

If I tried that "pick out a bracelet" shit (no offense MrForbyNoob) on my ray of sunshine, I would undoubtedly receive the "so you cant even be bothered picking something out yourself?" talk that all men know and love and that leads to absolutely zero sex.
If perchance I tried to outsmart her and pick one out myself, I would assuredly receive the "I cant believe you dont know my tastes at all after all this time!" condemnation that would see me get zero sex.

I could also go for the lingerie angle, "You think Im a size what?!!", or the ever popular chocolate tack, "I dont want them, they'll make me fat", or I could attempt to prepare a romantic dinner, "How many times do I have to tell you, I dont eat meat, carbohydrates, vegetables, fruits or dairy, you just never listen!".
Of course lets not forget my personal favourite of trying to set the mood with candles, rose petals, champagne, and an industrial vat of baby oil. "That was a great massage baby, Im really relaxed.......you want to do what? Thats disgusting! How dare you!"
All of which end up with me getting zero sex.

So sorry missforby, women are by no means easy to buy for. Having said that a $200 budget for a 2nd year anniversary present is by no means small either IMO.
Just ask her if she might be interested in including her best friend in your lovemaking. If she says yes then you can never complain about anything that happens to you ever again. Ever.
However, if she says no then you have two options, you could either spend the $200 making it up to her with dinner, flowers, chocolates etc etc or, you could let her go and spend the money on your car/friends/coke/hookers or whatever you're into, because lets face it, If she isnt interested in you tagging her friend whilst playing the rusty trombone, there's a good chance that she isnt the one.

My quota for women who bug the shit out of me has been filled for the next billion years.

I have been married for 27 years & can honestly say after reading this you have no idea.

They are very easy to please.

Dude, it was a joke. Im very happy with my girl and she loves the presents I give her, at least she tells me she does but after reading your response, well goshdarnit, Im just not sure now.

Thanks for setting me straight though old fella and congratulations on the 27.

EDIT: Reprise, buy her something small but poignant. Something along the lines of what RN suggested. Then spend the rest of your anniversary budget making her feel special. Cook for her (a simple light meal but extravagant dessert works well if she has a sweet tooth like my gf), prepare a bath for her, give her a massage, tell her she is beautiful, pamper her etc.

Basically the point is to make her feel special and to let her know that you appreciate everything she does for you and everything she means to you. I could go into the psychology of why this will work but it will take a while and I may come across as not having any idea again so just trust me, an anonymous poster on a 4wd website, and go the way I outlined. When I turn 14 and mum lets me start dating, Im totally going to do this.

easier????

a guy is happy with a spanner, car seat cover, a girl wants something that isn't usefull (like appliances etc), but that will get used. it's the "thought that counts" so long as your thoughts in jewelery suit her tastes/fasion of the minute.

guys are happy with a steak and a blowjob.
