If the man in your life deserves an anniversary gift that is both unique and representative of the love you have for him and his love of life, look no further.
TRIPS
One
Dale Jarrett Racing Adventures offers real driving or ride along adventures in actual Nextel Cup racecars, available cross-country at many NASCAR Speedways. Pricing is widespread with ride-along adventures in the low hundreds and all day courses that allow your man to get behind the wheel and actually experience some of the same things their favorite drivers’ experience, for around the two to three thousand dollar price range.
Two
If your guy loves to hunt, send him on an Alberta whitetail or black bear hunt. Outfitters can provide you with all-inclusive packages that will cover everything from accommodations to guides.
Three
A working dude ranch vacation may not seem like an ideal gift, but for the man who loves the ideals of the old west lifestyle; this would be the perfect opportunity for him to live a dream. Most offer a relaxed atmosphere, allowing participants to contribute as much or as little as they want.
Four
A chartered fishing excursion is ideal for the water lover. With opportunities ranging from deep-sea fishing in the gulf of Florida to a Montana fly-fishing guided tour, you are sure to find one that is destined to be a hit with your man.
Five
Your man will love you more than he does now if you hand him tickets to the big game. Whether he is a football, basketball, baseball or hockey fan, sending him to a game will warrant you a special place in his heart reserved strictly for his love of sports. If you cannot get tickets for the pro team of his choice, check for a semi-pro team franchise. Guys love the game no matter who is playing.
GADGET LOVERS
Six, Seven, and Eight
Men love gadgets. However, while some will buy the newest items without giving it a second thought, others will make do with the same old Pocket PC or cell phone year after year. Surprise him with a brand new handheld that is chockfull of all the latest, such as a Dell Axim loaded with everything from useful office applications to games. Alternatively, grab him a phone that not only has picture taking and receiving capabilities (so you can send him photos when you cannot be with him) but also doubles as a full featured GPS receiver. For the music loving man, get him a brand new miniature Samsung yepp MP3 player. While tiny enough to take anywhere your man may be headed, it offers up to 12 hours of continuous play, and doubles as an FM receiver so he can check the score of the big game.
Nine and Ten
Show him your true love by giving him a gift that will keep on giving. A digital camera such as the Kodak DX7590 not only offers an effective 5.0 MP, but also has an exciting 10X optical zoom lens. Combine it with an EasyShare printer dock for photo shop quality prints and he will be able to snap and print photos of your current and future anniversary fun.
FROM THE HEART
Eleven
Give him a gift that costs nothing more than a bit of your time. Start his day by bringing him breakfast in bed, followed by a morning of relaxation, including a back rub and foot spa.
Twelve
Men are often much more sentimental than we think they are. Create a scrapbook of your life together so far, with room to add future memories for the coming years.
Thirteen
If your man loves to participate in a quiet activity such as reading or writing, give him the gift of time. Allow them the pleasure of an afternoon of doing their own thing in their own space. If you have children, clear the house. Let them stay put while you and the kids head out for the afternoon. If you are childless, take yourself out. Bring home takeout at the end of the day for a relaxing end to hopefully a productive day.
Fourteen
Track down a copy of your husband’s favorite book or album that is no longer in print. Thanks to Ebay and the online scene in general, this is not as hard as it once was. With a bit of time and effort you have a good chance of tracking down past memories that will delight your husband’s recollections of the good old days.
FRIENDSHIP
Fifteen
Children are not the only ones who love kittens and puppies. Surprise your guy with the gift of a new pet. Pre-arrange with a kennel for your husband to come out and choose from a litter his very own new best friend.
