What do I get my dd and her dh for their first anniversary?

[Guest Virginia Dawn]

They have a small apartment with everything they really need. I can't spend a lot of money, but I would like to get them something nice that wouldn't be useless or in the way, IYKWIM. I'm stumped.

a gift card for a restaurant? I don't know how much money would be "not a lot of money", :o

That's different for different people. or maybe you could offer to make a dinner for them, and take it to them (if you live near them).

Make an elegant dinner (or floor picnic), and use new candles. Each time you use them, you'll remember the event. Dress up like it's a fancy restaurant, classical music and a family photo to later place in frame.

My in-laws gave us a lovely wooden clock, and unrolled TP all around it in the box to cushion it!

 

28 years later, that clock is still on our wall. We have moved it 6 times since then, but it still reminds us of them and their support.

Were they able to purchase all their wedding photos? Maybe ordering one -- or paying for them to order one & framing it for them? Or a portrait session for their one year anniversary?

 

Another idea: just a nice photo/picture/painting?

A copy of 'The Tightwad Gazette'. I wish someone had given me that when I was first married.
