Always a good suggestion, Imp. :D But, considering that we have sex every day, sex is kind of a given.

New location? New kink? New position? New partner? No, scratch that last one. Perhaps that's better for a non-anniversary shindig.

Massage? Strip tease? Pole dance? Make a video? Take some digital still shots of yourself. Role play?
 
if its a really special anniversary i like to go very posh. something that can be cherished for years to come like a mug or a key-chain. of course im single now so don't listen to me.

but ive got 2 bucks you can have...$2.00 canadian actually so it could be less if you live somewhere else.

and an anniversary coming up. Any suggestions?

My favorite thing to do for an anniversary was to cook his favorite meal. Or rather just a very nice one since he really never had a favorite. I took candles and light them all over the living room. We didn't have a dinning room table so I spred a blanket on the living room floor. I made two very large pillows to rest or sit on, over stuffed. For dinner I picked things that could be eaten with fingers, but didn't have to be. Like stake, but I sliced it before serving. For dessert I set out a tray or chocolat dipped strawberries, and other various fruit, along with the left over melted chocolate and of course a whipped cream garnish. It was all about atmosphere. And it was one of my favorite moments.
 
Mlady and Imp -- I think some combination of the ideas you have given me might just work . . . :devil: Thank you for inspiring some devious plans. :D

Imp -- one thing -- I'm considering the stripping thing because that's something he really wants, but I don't know what to wear before the stripping. I mean, stripping is sexy, but let's face it, stripping off jeans and a t-shirt is somewhat less sexy than other outfits. Plus, we have a roommate, so it would have to be something I could take off in the small confines of our bedroom. Does lingerie work in this instance or do you think that would be too much work to take off?

Oooh, and Mlady -- any ideas of things I could cook on the stovetop? Baking is out b/c our oven is broken. :(

The stuff that wraps is fun to work with: a dance sweater, wrap skirt, long scarves (crotch floss ;) ) Just depends on how long you want to drag out the strip.

Ask the roommate to take a walk. Cough up some money for a movie....or just ask nicely.

You could serve an intimate dinner for two that had you taking off one article for every course....

I love the way your mind works, Fool.

Had another thought that was inspired by your AV. Go to dinner at a restaurant and during dessert, hand him your panties that you have managed to slide down and off under the table. Simple innocuous comment like:

"These are for you..."

Did I mention that I love the way your mind works? :kiss:
 
Food ideas....

shrimp/cocktail sauce or bbq'd shrimp (I have a killer recipe that's yours if you want it - just PM me)

skewers of grilled steak/green peppers or pork cubes/pineapple

a loaf of high quality crusty bread and a shallow dish of olive oil for dipping (just rip off hunks)

anything appetizer-ish --- toasted ravioli (not sure if you even know what that is - it's kind of a St. Louis thing); an antipasta plate of meats, cheeses, olives, etc.; cherry tomatoes; slices of fruit like ripe peaches or nectarines; strawberries; grapes; crackers already topped with stuff (shrimp salad or cheez whiz or whatever).

You need something topped off with chocolate sauce and whipped cream. Be sure to save some for later as well....
 
For £1 you can get a tumblestone, which I find to be really personal. A tumblestone is a little stone about the size of the tip of your thumb made out of a polished semi-precious stone. Each stone has a differenet metaphysical property, like Tiger's Eye is good for self-confidence and self-analysis and Obsidian is good for keeping out negative energies (both of which I carry around with me at all times).

You can choose a stone that has the properties that you think your partner values or would like help in, like confidence, or passion, or decision-making, so it's really very personal.

Try looking here for details of what each stone does (although I always buy all of mine in person; you get a better feel for the individual stone): http://www.rainbowcrystal.com/crystal/crystal3.html

I was going to sugest the skewers. They make great finger foods.
 
Make appetizers, cause they usually cost less than a full meal, and you dont want to be all bloated anyway!

Crackers and Cheese, antipasta plater, veggies and dip etc. Lets face it, if you dont have any money how can you do all the expensive stuff?

Pick out his favourite CD, add the candles, dim the lights, put on the outfit you know he loves you in and his favourite pieces of under garments.

Make sure you do your make up and put on some lucious perfume.
Have the bed made up with lots of pillows ( they come in handy ;) ) and put some snack stuff in there too. Strawberries or any of his favourite fruit, and of course dipping chocolate (melt chipits with cream so they dont harden when cooled down), you dont have to go expensive here either, make do with what you have just make it special.

The strip tease can be special no matter what the clothes you are wearing, its all in the hips girl! lol
I agree with Fool, get the room mate out of the house, dont give them an option, tell them they cant be home until said hour!

Good luck and we expect details!

Okay, I know everyone's been waiting to hear how yesterday (our anniversary) went, SOOOooooo, without further adieu:

I went to the store and got some supplies :D and spent all day getting everything ready. (In that way, it was kind of handy that he was working a 12-hr) I decorated the table with a red, plastic table cloth (doesn't sound classy, but it has a sinister reason for existance :devil: ), I made placemats out of printouts of our wedding pictures, I put the champagne glasses we used the night we were married (they are beautiful -- imported from Romania -- and we were the first to ever use them) on the table with red crepe paper in them, I used the dozen white roses that he gave me (everyone say "Awww!" :) ) as a centerpiece, and I printed out a menu and schedule of events for the evening, which I placed in front of the roses. I had romantic music playing from a portable stereo nearby.

For the entree, we had fresh garden salad with ranch dressing, dinner was my famous spaghetti. Then, it was time for the after-dinner men's only burlesque show. I did a strip tease to Ton Loc's "Wild Thing." My costume was a business woman outfit, complete with underwear that was a black corset (he LOVES corsets) with hose suspenders, thigh-high fishnet stockings, and a thong. Of course, I stripped down to totally nekkid, but just wanted to illustrate that I went all out for the strip. :) He was a good boy . . . he did not touch the dancer, as he was instructed . . . but it nearly KILLED him!! :D (I wanted him to wait for dessert)

Okay, then it was time for dessert!! I took that red, plastic tablecloth that I told you about earlier and spread it out over the bed. Dessert was strawberries and whipped cream, on me. :) He decided to strip naked, himself, as he didn't want to get any on his clothes. ;) Needless to say, he licked his plate clean . . . and, he had a serving spoon of his own that he wanted licked clean, so I was very happy to oblige. :)

We proceeded to have very sticky, messy, delicious sex atop the tablecloth. Then, we cleaned up with a nice, steamy shower afterwords.

That was my anniversary. Thank you ALL for your fabulous suggestions. J. thanks you as well! :D Even though we had no cash this year, this will be an anniversary that neither of us will soon forget.
 
Outstanding. I always say a little imagination can go a long ways.

Glad you had a great time. Now I have to start thinking about what to do for my aniversary. (July 4) I know we will be going downtown to watch the fireworks, then coming home to make some of our own. :D Now how to make it a little bit more enticing?
