My Thoughts..
Our first wedding anniversary is coming up and I and my hubby would love to buy each other something very special, a vintage diamond pendant for me perhaps? I would love to buy my hubby a rather spectacular watch that will make him lost for words. Our anniversary is on July 19th and I am already stuck for ideas, any creative ideas will be much appreciated. All I know is that I want it to be a romantic and celebratory day.
As you all know I make fashion jewellery as a hobby and thoroughly enjoy doing so, however sometimes it’s nice to have the real deal. I’m talking diamonds! Now I know that many people are not fortunate enough to own diamonds, so it makes me feel quite superficial talking about this and I’m sorry, but I think every girl should have a diamond engagement ring, not massive so that it screams from a distance, but a nice elegant and respectable size. Take note gentlemen.
Also, even if I buy somebody something I always add a personal touch, I try to make it from the heart as much as possible. I take great pride in wrapping up gifts and try to make it look as cute or sleek as possible. There’s no point buying somebody a gorgeous watch and then handing it to the person in a plastic bag, which would be my worst nightmare. I know that sometimes it’s impossible to find the perfect gift bag, so what I do is buy a plain one and decorate it myself! Do you have any other tips on this matter?

You shouldn't feel about about wanting a diamond. As a matter of fact diamonds vary in price even for "identical looking" ones. All that changes the price tag in a diamond are the angles at which they are cut; the material is always the same. A very expensive diamond is a very brilliant one. That diamond will have angles that permit a great deal of reflection of the light coming in. Yeah, so a bigger diamond could be a lot cheaper than a "perfect angled" smaller one. =)
Anyway, I hope you'll have an AMAZING time and you'll find a great watch. I'm not sure what your price range is for watches bur fossil.com has some very reasonable watches.
Keep us updated on the plans =)!
Men are impossible to shop for BUT when it comes to big presents/occasions.. you can never go wrong with a masculine but elegant watch. They are timeless can be passed down to children one day..
I study gemology at the moment im so fed up of diamonds (too many measurments involved)... but I think even if they are small a real diamond is always best, treasured and wanted (and every girl deserves to have at least one :) )
What are you planning to do for the big day?

@tali im not entirely sure yet, i would love to go abroad for the weekend but finances are so crap at the moment. x
@anonymous, a scrapbook idea sounds perfect :) i love thoughtful presents, it doesnt always have to cost much, sometimes a piece of paper with meaningful words is much more valuable than an expensive ring.
@mommylovesmakeup ahhhh a spa day would be PERFECT :)

I feel the same way as you do about packaging - one year for the BF I wrapped his gift in a "newspaper" except it was actually a paper I had printed off the computer with pictures and faux articles about us
What are you going to do for the big day? Going to dine at a fancy restaurant? or are you going to cook for him/cook with him? I always love to cook with my hubby. We enjoy cooking together.
For my first anniversary we went to disney and I planned a great tasting platter for him, I included Fresh fruit and chocolate, caviar and nice wine, food in bed is always a fav!!
