I am stumped what to get DH for our anniversary but one idea I have is an experience a month for 12 months, I can fill some with dinner out, local gigs etc but has anyone got more ideas please. I would like a mix of low cost and a bit more spendy.

Also any idea how to gift it? has anyone seen a booklet I can write them in or similar, or a set of envelopes?
Any help really appreciated thanks!

Everyone likes different things... For my husband it would be things like:
Theatre trips
Weekends away
Boat trips
A special birthday meal at home with family
Going out to a restaurant
A visit to somewhere beautiful for a special picnic
Visits to local attractions, National Trust houses etc
A trip to see his daughter who lives far away

For others some of the ideas would be sex-related, or sports, or gigs and festivals

I would arrange anything that needed booking in advance and buy tickets etc, they I would put the tickets, or the promise or whatever, into a separate envelope for each month, and then put all of the envelopes into one bigger envelope together with a card telling him what his present was.

I'd go with a mix of envelopes as it would look nice and you can make them all different, with small drawings or stickers or just keep them all neat and classy.

As for the ideas, there could be so many things, like a pottery or an art class, a small getaway to the nearby city, a photoshoot planned and done either at home by you or by a professional photographer (or you can make a digital scrapbook about the two of you with the photos you already have and the new ones), a museum day where you discover museum(s) you've never attended before, just a day out where you explore the places you haven't seen around the place you live.

You can also make a book of coupons with various ideas from funny to intimate ones depending on what you both like.
