OK, the 27th is our 15th wedding anniversary and I can't think of a thing to give my husband. If he ever needs anything he just buys it himself, and he's not into cars, hunting or other typical guy things. I have no clue.

Um, wrap yourself up in a big bow that he can untie in the boudoir?

What about arranging a trip or outing somewhere, and taking him on a mistery trip. My daughter took her husband, for his 30th birthday treat, for a night at a village hotel, near a beer brewery (his favouite type) where she'd arranged a tour around. He loved it.
Maybe there's somewhere you could think of that might mean smething to both of you.

(This is kinda weird) Do a HUGE treasure map hunt for him.... he has to go all over town for different clues.... and then when he comes back there's a really yummy dinner ( you don't have to cook it!!! ) and maybe something a little lacey and silky?

The 15th wedding anniversary is Crystal (traditional) or Watches (modern.) What about getting him something like that, that signifies what anniversary you're celebrating?

Thanks, guys - good ideas! I was thinking of a watch, even though he doesn't really need one. He's kind of "into" the giving-presents-according-to-years thing!
Ian just told me he needed an "engagement watch" and he's not into typical guy stuff either...maybe the watch IS a good idea
What kinds of things is he into?
OOh, I like that idea.Originally Posted by minxie
Or if you are feeling generous...buy 15 gifts....each one representing something special about each year for the two of you. And put all of them in a huge box! Now that's the kind of present I like!
I try to follow what the gift category is supposed to be for that year's anniversary, but for our 10th, ended up getting him a watch - I wanted something for him to wear that would remind him of me, just as my diamond anniversary ring from him makes me smile when I look at it.
Fwiw, I bought it via Costco online - for a lot less than the site I am linking to - wanted you to see what I bought. I think it's a gorgeous watch

He's into music (of course) - all kinds, and he's a software developer, so he has anything he ever needed for his computer. He likes to go to the casinos, so maybe I could take him up to the casinos for the evening...
Hmmm...he is familiar with megatokyo? www.megatokyo.com dh loves this, and some of their wares - i.e. Magic Coffee +1 (a mug), various of their tee shirts, I've bought him all editions of their books which contain all the strips from the beginning. Seems to be popular with a lot of programmers, developers etc.
I say you try the surprise mystery weekend away thing!! Thats always really fun!!
