So my six month anniversay with my girlfriend is coming up on Thursday and I was wondering what I can do to make it special. We already have plans for dinner (made by her) so I want to do something to show I care for her (though I also don’t want to go overboard either–we’ll save that for the year anniversary ;). If it matters, we’re both in our mid 20s.
possibly in addition to something else, I find a really well-chosen card can be quite meaningful. But you have to take the time to find one that really resonates with her/your relationship and isn’t just generic.
My boyfriend writes me silly limericks about how beautiful I am. It’s kind of our thing. Similarly anything specific to your relationship and stuff you’ve done together would be nice.
For our six month wedding anniversary, I gave Pepper Mill a pair of wooden chopsticks (wood is the material for the traditional six-year wedding gift, but there isn’t one for six months).
She still uses them. She used them yesterday.
For our one-year anniversary (paper), I made her a framed origami Bride and Groom.
