Best anniversary experiences?

[PricklyCactuss]

What have been some of your best anniversary experiences or ideas for one? I want to plan something really romantic for DP and myself this year. Weekend away isn't possible due to work but an overnight stay in hotel is an idea.

Any suggestions? We're in our mid 20s

We went walking with wolves. . Stayed in a fab annexe of a B&B with log fire and breakfast brought to our table!!

My favourite wedding anniversary was the one that fell 4 weeks after I dumped my XH...
This may not be what you're looking for though

One person's romance is another's cheese...

I would think about where / how you met, what was your first date, where one of you proposed, where the wedding was...and look at tying in with that.

You can often get nice hotel deals for Sunday nights (Hotel du Vin did this with a meal included) as it's a less busy time, so you could look for a deal near you, or maybe book a Monday off if you usually work Saturdays?

He works every day in a family business so it's no work, no pay situation. I may book an overnight hotel stay but how to make it more special?

What's your budget?

Get dressed up to the nines, hire a limo and go and pick up him from work in the limo and have it drive you both with champagne in the back (I'd take your own with a chiller jacket as normally those companies charge an arm and a leg for their own crappy champagne). to the hotel where dinner is arranged then retire early!

Tell him you are going somewhere smart for dinner as a surprise and you'll pick him up but nothing else. If you are living together pack a mini-overnight bag for him, if you aren't, pack a toothbrush a razor and buy him a clean pair of boxers/shorts.

No offence to Pitt but that sounds horrendous to me
My point is, we're all different.
How can we make useful suggestions knowing nothing about him, and you both as a couple?
That's why I suggested drawing on you first date etc as a start.

What does romantic mean to you?
For some, it means champagne. For me, it means remembering something that's important to me, or about me. My fiancé would never rock up in a limo - but he would in our camper van

What do you two like? What's special to you?

We're doing relaxed overnight stay with dinner, facials and massages

We went on Velocity in Wales for our wedding anniversary ..the mother of all Zip lines .. One to remember !

DHs best anniversary experience was when I surprised him with a trip to watch Liverpool play at Anfield.

Disclaimer: He's a massive Liverpool fan!

Does your DH have any hobbies or stuff he's really into? Perhaps base your trip round that?

We got some blankets, wine, beer, fish and chips and sat on the beach until it got too cold and dark!

Comedy night or theatre? Or a day at the races or a festival? How about picking somewhere to visit that you have never been to? Or a couple spa day? Or make /craft something together? Visit a food festival or vineyard?
