Good anniversary presents? - 2nd year...

[Zoundz]

OK - last year was paper, and Karl wrote me the most beautiful, tear jerking love letter <3 and I made him a paper booklet of some of our favourite love poems and songs, adorned with pretty bits etc

So this year is wood isn't it? What can I do for him this year? :/ any thoughts?

Maybe a piece of furniture? Like a chair or shelf or such. Or a picture frame.

[Zoundz]

Picture frame is a good one I'm a photographer, so I could frame a favourite photo...

I think a piece of furniture is out of my budget this year unfortunately, also ideally I'd like it to be something I've made. A salvage piece would be amazing if I could get one, a manky old bookcase which I could do up. Mind you, he'd know about it as I've nowhere to store it!

Maybe you could carve something out of a small piece of wood? As long as you can find a dry bit, you just need a wood carving knife. Just if you were after doing something a bit crafty

[Zoundz]

Good idea

(nice to meet another Manics fan too! )

If you have a yard to put it in... Maybe some drift wood? It's free, kinda cool looking if you can find some...

[Sebby6]

I like the picture frame idea. The driftwood type ones are in fashion right now so you should be able to get a really nice one.
Try Evolution if there is one near you.

[Zoundz]

Not heard of Evolution - doubt we have that in Ireland - but I can have a look if I get the chance next time we're in Leeds!

Maybe make him something special.  A box to put mementos in..or even that picture frame

[Eviecorn]

Ooh, I love the picture frame.  Or a nice romantic evening in front of a fire ... cause you know, it's burning word. 

[NoPonySpecial]

Or a picture of trees! (or, you know, something happening in or posing with trees.) Not too creative, I know, but I just love trees!

[dragonfly]

LOL, wood.

There's your answer!

A dirty mind is a terrible thing to waste!

[Zoundz]

Well anyway - I got it wrong, it's cotton this year! Soooo... think I might embroider something
