So, on the 25th of November, it will be 3 years that my boyfriend and I have been dating. We are both incredibly short on money (actually I literally have no money to spend right now and he has VERY little).
Regardless of it we still want to do something special for our anniversary. For our first anniversary, we went horse riding and had a picnic at a monument. For our 2nd anniversary we did the romantic dinner thing at a fancy restaurant.
We are thinking of going to a museum (yeah we are total geeks) but I think going to a museum is something we could do on any other day. We wanted to go hiking but the place closest to us both is IMPOSSIBLE to get permission to hike. I have asked a million people and all of them have no idea who I can contact to hike at that spot and I have looked for offices/reception there but I don't think there is a reception on site but the entire area is fenced off. There is another nice hiking spot but petrol prices have just gone up and neither of us can really afford to go that far.
We can go to a park and have a picnic, but we have done that before and I want to do something different. So far, every year HE organised what to do for our anniversaries, but this year he is writing exams right up until the day of our anniversary and he is unable to plan things so he asked me to do it.
PLEASE help me with ideas.
Also I would love to get him a gift. For the duration of our relationship I have given him a grand total of TWO gifts. One for our first Christmas and one for his birthday the year before last year. I am TERRIBLE with gifts, and he literally has just about everything he would ever need and anything he does need is way too expensive (like in over $200 expensive). Sometimes I wish I was a guy because giving a teddy bear to a girl is appropriate and not very costly. We always hand make each other cards for all occasions. Both of us do not believe in buying cards as they are too impersonal so I will be making him a card anyway. The first gift I got him was his favourite cologne and a funny t-shirt for Christmas, and the 2nd gift I got him was a pen engraved with his name and mine, as his was just about to start exams at the time and it was appropriate.
So if anyone can give gift suggestions that would be great too.
