i dont like it when my husband spends a lot of money on me. for an anniversary or w/e i would rather he just get me flowers,card w a lil love letter, and maybe take me out on like a lil picnic than to buy me expensive jewelry or to some overpriced restaurant. but then again im sure some girls would rather have the jewelry,lol. i think the picnic thing is a great idea...just be sure to pick a nice park w maybe a pond or something...and have the picnic in a spot where you can be alone. Also if you cannot cook...i suggest picking up some favorite foods at a deli or something like that instead.dont forget dessert! maybe bring her flowers(her favorite?) when you go to pick her up too. i wouldnt be overbearring tho...you dont want her to feel smothered.

be sure that when it is time for her to leave

that you give her something to remember you and your visit together by... maybe a framed photograph of something you did together while she was visiting

.i think that would be sweet.
