I need to come up with something cool for dh, that doesn't cost and arm and a leg and follows the traditional schedule which I have done from the beginning. I am brain dead right now so if anybody comes up with anything brilliant, let me know :)

    what about a golf club (driver)?  Sushi set (wooden chopsticks)?  Wooden model (plane, car)?  Cool wood frame?

    Please note I am refraining from making a bawdy suggestion involving wood that I'm sure your DH would like. 

    I even asked DH and he immediately thought of that same bawdy suggestion and that's all he came up with (no pun intended).

    I went there too!! What about planting a tree? I googled tree symbolism (art history only taught me about flowers...) and I liked that crab apple trees stood for eternal love. Plus they are gorgeous in bloom.

    Or you could get something naughty to do with the other "wood". Surprise

    DH tries to stick to the "theme" of the anniversary as well.   For our 5th, he gave me a lovely wooden quilt rack for my antique quilt.    So a nice piece of furniture, maybe?

    I love the tree idea, too!

    I found this great jewerly site when I was looking for a Mother's Day gift that has didffernt ideas for anniversary gifts by year.  Not to mention wooden gifts too if you're a traditionalist.

    My grandfather made a wooden, I guess for lack of a better word, slate or plaque that has our last name on it. He carved a log bearing my maiden name for my aunt and uncle. It sits in their front yard with the flowers, kind of welcoming people to the [maiden name] Residence.

    So I went on Etsy and found some really cool wood gifts.

    Stuff like this:

    I think I may find something :)
