Help! Need free anniversary gift ideas (in the next 24 hours)!

Help! I can't plan my way out of paper bag....

Our 3rd anniversary is tomorrow. I have a card, but need to think of something "sweet" to give him or do for him. Our "gift" to each other was a night out at a swanky place on Saturday, so I'm looking for something free and that I can create within a few hours.

For Valentine's Day, I wrote 100 things that I loved about him on 100 post-it notes and stuck them all over the walls, so I can't use that idea again. But I would love an idea that is along the same lines.

Also, me cooking him dinner is out, since I'm working late tomorrow, and he's going to get home well before I will.

    How about a "coupon book" for things he likes to do (cute, romantic, whatever) or likes you to do (like a particular meal or treat) and "free passes" (like a night out with his friends during football season).  Kind of Cheesy, but free!

    I love that post it note idea, by the way.  Might have to steal that one for our anniversary next month.

    Use calligraphy to write your vows and frame them.  I did that for our 1st Anniversary and DH LOVED it.  It is in our bedroom and is a nice reminder of the day.

    I did this plus I made a sexy/sweet playlist on iTunes for DH for Valentine's Day last year.  He loved it!

    I gave this to DH the Christmas before we got married (which was only 2 weeks before the wedding) and he cried when he opened it, he loved it so much.

    You do need some sort of blank book or notebook, or I guess you could type and print it out, but I wrote a list of all the things I wanted to do with him, from big things like "Have a baby" or "Go to Italy" to little things like "Make a pie from scratch." or "Have a picnic on the beach." 

    We go through the book every so often and cross out things we've done and use it for ideas of things to do when we're bored. It is fun to have as a memory of what we have done too, and sometimes we add to it.
