Anniversary gift help!

[Samb79]

We celebrate our 8th anniversary on Tuesday, and as I do every year I’ve left present buying/ideas to the last minute.

8 years is supposed to be bronze - what do I get? I have no ideas!

He’s into formula one, the pub, tech, music, so not much to go on there - please help!

Anyone?

Does it definitely have to be bronze?
Have just looked online and it says the modern alternative is linen/lace

Do you have a budget?

[Samb79]

No, doesn’t have to be bronze, but we’ve tried to keep with the traditional unless it just doesn’t fit. I’ve had a look for trainers with bronze bits, and thought of a linen shirt - I could get some lovely bed linen but that’s more a present for me!
Budget up to £100 I’d say

There are some inexpensive keepsake type gifts on Etsy, you could get something like that and then something to go with it?

Or could you get something bronze to go in the garden?

[Samb79]

Great idea, thank you - I’ll find a bronze key ring or something and then get him a ‘normal’ gift. He’s always brilliant at gifts, it ramps the pressure up every year! X

My DH is the same! Then I feel bad, as if I haven't made the same effort when really I'm just not good at coming up with ideas
