Went away this weekend for our first anniversary, the excursion was partly paid for by gift certificates and partly by my husband. Apparently this was my gift.. No card, no special thoughtful happy one year. And then he was perturbed when I gave my gift and card.. Apparently it made him look bad( ya think!)

That's great give your opinions I asked for it when I posted this. However I don't ask or name calling, but I guess if I posted on this board 50 times a day I would have nothing better to do than be judge mental either

Study up on the different love languages. Some people aren't into gifts. I'm not. I'd rather have DH tell me how important I am to him, or cook me breakfast or cross some chores off the honey-do list. DH would rather get laid. Some people are gifty people. All are ok. What is important is that your partner knows what is important to you and vice versa. Sounds like this isn't the case in your relationship.
Not to play the woe is me card, but I would give anything to get away with my hubby and just enjoy each others company. Life/work/kids make life so crazy...please don't let these moments go unappreciated.
Try to focus more on giving him a present you're excited about, and less on receiving something.
We just do cards for our anniversary. Maybe a trip around that time also but I never get mad if I don't "get anything"
You got a trip away and you are complaining? Seriously, gag me. DH and I have been married for 2 years this fall. We never did a honeymoon. We've never even had time away alone. Our only trip together was 5 days in Disney with DS. It's a sacrifice we've made so we can have our house, dog and 2 boys. So excuse me I am not feeling bad that your vacation wasn't enough. You sound ungrateful.
Again, perspective. OP needs to get some.
