Create Spontaneous New Memories with Polaroid Cameras

PRBLeave a comment

A new but classic Polaroid camera could be a great anniversary gift by itself or combined with a planned outdoor adventure. These aren’t just for photo-obsessed teenagers!

Polaroids these days are inexpensive, easy to use, and still a lot of fun! The pictures show up with a retro-look like Instagrams and they get printed out in a few seconds. These cameras are fun toys to carry around with you wherever you go, whether it’s on vacation or just a regular weekend out.

You might want to watch a video online before your first use to make sure your Polaroid pictures turn out as nicely as they should (they will give you tips like avoid too much background light, you don’t need to shake the picture, etc). And no, these are not high quality DSLRs, so the quality is not comparable to a 12 megapixel digital camera. These are for fun! So don’t take them too seriously.

For a perfect anniversary gift, combine this cute camera with a fun day out in the city, at a park, on a hike, on a daytrip somewhere, etc. It’s inexpensive and a lovely bonus to enhance a regular weekend outing.

Order Beautiful, High Quality Jewelry Online without Stepping Foot in a Jewelry Store

PRBLeave a comment

Women love the sparkle – you can’t go wrong with this option. The good news is that a lot of beautiful jewelry is affordable and easy to find online nowadays (Amazon, Blue Nile) without having to step foot in a crowded mall or a stuffy jewelry store. If you don’t know what to buy (earrings? necklace?), I would start here with the most popular anniversary jewelry that other people have been buying.

Plan Your Future Vacations with a National Geographic Travel Book

PRB

A travel book is an easy but meaningful anniversary gift idea to show that you are thinking about your future adventures together. Even if you can’t go on a dream vacation right away, you can start the fun immediately by planning and talking about where you want to go. One of my favorite books for travel ideas is National Geographic’s Journeys of a Lifetime: 500 of the World’s Greatest Trips, a beautiful hardcover coffee table book with full-page color photos – and you can order it as a last minute gift!

Give the Gift of Experiences with Motorcycle and Race Car Classes

PRBLeave a comment

I came across this on Groupon and thought it would be a perfect gift! If your husband or boyfriend (or wife or girlfriend) has always wanted to learn to ride a motorcycle or take any other kind of adventurous lessons (like shooting or race car driving), a Groupon lesson is a very safe way to give an exciting “experience” gift!  Plus you can buy it online and print out the certificate for an instant, thoughtful anniversary gift!

An Anniversary Time Capsule to Open in 5 or 10 Years

PRBLeave a comment

There are so many creative ways you can use time capsules as last minute anniversary gifts!

  • Start a capsule and add 1 item to it every year (credit: an episode of the Cosby Show)
  • Create a capsule that you don’t open again for 10 years, or on your 10th or 20th anniversary
  • Create a capsule of items that your kids can open 10 years from now

Time capsules can be as simple as finding a box you already have and filling it with meaningful items at the last minute. If you want to get fancier, you can buy an inexpensive bullet thermos that looks like a futuristic time capsule! For some reason, its really hard to just buy a tubular container that is meant to be a time capsule, so you have to improvise!

So what do you put in this time capsule?

  • Photos
  • Wedding photos or memorabilia
  • Things that remind you of special experiences, like concert tickets, ticket stubs from your travels and vacations, receipts from anniversary meals, etc
  • Front page of today’s newspaper
  • A Time Capsule book, a shortcut method of capturing what your life is like today (what your typical day is like, what important decisions you’ve made lately, your hopes and fears, your advice for your future self, your favorite music and food at the moment, who you are spending your time with, what fun trips you’ve done lately)
