so, it needs to be made of paper.
nice - i.e. a bird will like it.
will fit (and not get broken) in a carry-on suitcase.
be inexpensive.
I thought about this so she could file away paintings by our son, photos, love letters and stuff somewhere nice but I dont know if this is a bit of a crap present.

Mrs RJS would love that, but of course that's no guarantee of anything. If you feel it's not quite "enough" you could slip a couple of tickets for some entertainment-type thing into it.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

Got my Mrs a nice pen (writes on paper), but we didn't have kids then. Nowadays she's lucky if I remember our anniversary.
I wouldn't heed my advice though, I'm an idiot. But I am still married 16 years later.0 -
I got my ex- wife a message in a bottle:

I can write poetry when the mood strikes, so I could make the message personal. She loved itChunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)

Mrs Cat is quite chilled. I got her table mats for Valentines Day once and she loved them.
I'm going to get it! Cheers guys.

A notebook, or address book from Smythson's might fit the bill. They are lovely and good for a special occaison.

Yikes, hopefully the eldest will be earning by then. Unlikely though.clarkey cat wrote:Veronese - I think after 15 years you have some respite until 20 years but then its into the gemstones...
Anyway, it's the thought that counts, so anything over bog roll will be just dandy.0 -
You can just get her a book, all sorts of options. Don't go overboard, its only 1 year and you don't want to set a precedent!0

Something like this might be an idea:

My brother did one like this for his wife on their 1st anni.
Those on the website are all pretty tacky, but he did it himself and got it printed on newspaper grade paper for authenticity!Canyon Roadlite

Now I always presumed the whole 'paper' thing meant: a card would do.
.... probably why I'm single.

I went for the Fabriano folder and have put some mementos from our wedding in there:
Order of service
An invite
Menu from the wedding breakfast
A photo of ourselves we took at dawn the next morning having a walk around the harbour
Menu from La Gavroche where we went as a gift from a friend
I suppose I should put the wedding certificate in there too but I dont know where it is.
Joint bank statement.0 -
