Advice is Sought
At the end of the month, Someone and I will have our 10th year anniversary.10 years! Can you imagine? I am amazed he has put up with me, let alone for 10 years!
I would like to give him something special that day – but I can’t think what.
What he deserves is a medal.
So, does any one have any ideas as to what would be appropriate, nice, special or fabulous?
Help!

awww, so sweet. here is an early congratulations! 10 years is big!
i dont know about everyone else but i know that sometimes gifts for my boy that can be a memory instead of a physical gift go a long way... like a weekend vacation to different city or a night at a really great place... or if you can afford... a cruise :) :)
You said that he deserves a medal.
What about a metal?
The traditional ten year anniversary gift is tin or aluminum.
What about a unique piece of aluminum art sculpture? I'm sure you can find one that will express how you feel about him and your love over the past ten years.
Congratulations on your anniversary. It is so nice to see that you are still in love after 10 years.
As for a gift, I don't really know. I like both of the previously mentioned ideas; the get-away and the "medal".
I remember one of the nicest gifts I received for an anniversary was a spa day. It was truly luxurious spending the entire day being doted on. It might not be something he would enjoy, but I sure did.
A relationship takes a lot of work from two people, so the gift should be something for the both of you to share together. 10 years is a huge milestone! Congratulations to you both!
I think the 10 year anniversary gift for homosexauls is the strip-o-gram.
Seriously, something I did for Low two years ago was a large photo montage of all our years together.. our favorite pictures hung in one of those big multi-picture frames.
Oh and we included KitKat since he is part of the gang here.
Congrats! Here's wishing many more decades of love.
Depends what he likes.
You could go the traditional route and buy him what the 10 year anniversary gift is. (Paper? Rock? Gold? ????)
A ring maybe?
Jewelry is always good... but how about a romantic weekend getaway where you can tell him how much he means to you, in multiple ways ;)
Of course, nothing says Gay Anniversary like another Garden Gnome!!!
Congrats on 10 years!
I'm a numerological kind of guy (If that's a word). I'd start 10 days before the big day - with small, tokens of appreciation; handed-out each day (like, maybe flowers on one day, a burned CD of songs which meant alot to you guys; on another day - and a framed picture of the first photo ever taken of you two; etc.) - till the big one. As far as the big one - what Bill and I did on our 10th is I 'replicated' the first meal I ever cooked for him - right down to the exact, same table setting. Congrads to you two!
Oh, I forgot about the replicated dinner. The food was already on the plates. The plates - I took to a kiosk in the mall and had our names hand-painted, "Bill & Josh Celebrating 10 Years." He couldn't see it until he finished eating.
Happy Anniversary! The suggestions already here are awesome! I'm gonna use them for some of my own future anniversaries. Except maybe the garden gnome. Sorry morgen. :)
WOW. 10 years. I can't imagine 10 days. But that's another story. The suggestions have been great. I like Joshua's idea of 10 days of gifts building to something really nice at the end. Each of the ten gifts should have something to do with where you come from. Or if all else fails you could bring him to NYC.
I like the spa idea for both of you!
Why not a medal? Have one made.
Give him some of your time. Hang out with him for a day.
Congratulations!!!
thank you all, for your ideas; we'll see what happens!
I vote for a nice bed and breakfast getaway, or if you haven't yet maybe some bling (jewelry) to symbolized being commited (as in union not psych establ.) lol.
Congrats on the Anniversary!!
Happy Anniversary! It is so nice to hear of a couple who have been together for 10 years. If I knew Someone better I could offer you a suggestion but my suggestion is one I tell my married couples. Yourself naked with a big red bow. And let him have all the fun he can handle.
Congratulations on 10 years!
Tradition states that the gifts should be either tin or alumin; modern is a diamond. So I say a tin of diamonds would be appropriate. ;-)
Josh has a great idea - and you have to go away... and you CAN'T give him another gnome...
Ten Years already? I can't believe it! Well, I guess I can....it will be 16 years for Rich and I on Flag Day! (June 14). Because of my love of gardening and animals,on our tenth, Rich gave me a statue of St Francis that sits at the end of the stone path in our raised bed behind the house. I see him everyday and really appreciate the love that went into his being there. "someone" loves the Theater....how about a framed poster of his favorite play.....maybe the soundtrack if it's a musical (he probably has those things already....just thinking.) If I think of anything else, I will write. In the meantime, an early Happy Anniversary....even though we rarely saw you when you were here in Michigan, I miss knowing that it's a possibility.
Love,
Marty ....give my love to "Someone," and Rich's too.
