Our anniversary and valentines are 1 week apart so we are celebrating the two at once ( specially since we are both working valentines)
As the old one year anniversary (yes I know we're not married but hey an anniversary is an anniversary) gift theme was meant to be paper he is getting from me a series of role playing books - Fuzzy Heroes and all the expansions. Having to get them specially shipped over since the people don't normally post internationally.
He's also getting an embraidery piece I have been working on for the last few months of Invader Zim and Gir. He loves that show and has found the idea of an embroidery done of something so silly vastly amusing since he's only ever seen it done of knights or dragons or fairies and the like.
For his birthday I did something a bit more valentinish though. I wrote a poem for him then put it in an interestingly shaped bottle with some sand in the bottom for pretty.
He was thrilled with the gift, his favourite song is message in a bottle amongst other things and I themed the ink and decoratins on the parchment all around things he loved, favourite colours and the like.
If you're not good at poetry there are a heap of places online that you can grab poems from to.
