Alright, June 30th is about to roll around and it marks my 3rd anniversary. Holy crap. How long have you guys been stickin it out?? lol

Any ideas on a suitable gift for the wife? I heard something about what years were "diamond" years. Is this one of them? Yikes, it's starting to look that way. "Oh honey just look at the fire in those earrings, wink wink, nudge nudge."

I know she also wouldn’t mind a new EDC folder but with her taste I might as well just buy the damn ear rocks. :grumpy:
 
Nah, it's not that far yet: Three years is only 440B/AUS-8. Ten is SR-101 and twenty-five is INFI.

You could take a Busse Combat dog tag, break it in half, and put the pieces on necklaces that you each wear, their completion when joined symbolizing the nuclear toughness of the bond that you share... :cool:

Or there's the jewelry option. :D
 
It looks mine will be 10 years June 25th.... whodathunkit?! :rolleyes: :D

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: originally posted wrong anniversary :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
 
33 years in July. 30 guns, one Boston Whaler, and 31 Busses later she hasn't complained about an acquisition yet.

On our first anniversary, I gave her a portrait I drew of her. Last year, I gave her a poem I wrote about the picture. I do believe that these two anniversary gifts, which cost nothing but a little time, were her favorites.

Nic,
Diamonds, Gold, Amber set in Silver.
Colt,Browning,Ruger.
All good choices, all cheaper than my wife's taste in Busse's
Does she like to cook?
Murray Carter kitchen knives are awesome, as long as you do the work to keep them sharp,(This worked for me three times so far)
Did you know you could buy a thousand dollar Teddy Bear?
In each of six different sizes?
You can always go for cute and thoughtful, a nice piece of cut crystal on a pedestal lighted and revolving(I am trying this, this year)Birthday only.
We shall see.
 
I'd like to contribute to this thread, I really would. However, thinking about my ex wife and knives at the same time is disturbing.
I did learn this during the grueling death march to divorce: women always tell you what they want through a subtle series of hints and suggestions...if you miss them like I almost always did, doesn't matter what you get her...she will be pissed you don't listen.
Is it beer thirty yet?
:)
 
34 years last April. (all straight time, no breaks) :D :D
Perfect fit :)

Happy anniversary
 
13 and counting...I too have had success with "home grown" gifts.

Salsbre gave some good advice..is she leaving magazines lying around open to the same page?

You could do what I do on occasion...."So, what do you want for our anniversary (your birthday, Christmas, etc.) Amazingly enough, this seems to work. Trick is you need to ask EARLY....like a month or so in advance if you can. NEVER try this within 72 hours of the anticipated celebration.
 
8yrs. the 27th of july and she only likes my most expensive knives :p 3yrs? I think I could finally afford a real dimond and not CZ :D
Good luck :cool:

You. You.............are one sick puppy! :p

Me, I'm coming up on my 13th. I usually try real hard to pay attention to her every want and need. ...and when I fail (because, of course, it's always MY fault :rolleyes: ) at that I usually ask her. Months in advance of course, like someone else wrote.

if you take a busse dogtag and put it in a jar every time you eat pork for a year, then take one out every time you pork for the rest of your life, you would run out in about 9 months.

huh? bravado :confused:
 
I have 5 years of marriage under my belt this last 4/17. We'll have been together for 11 years on 9/11 this year (No B.S., that's the anniversary of our first date).

I have got to go with Oku, she has probably been telling you subtly for months. It is never advisable to ask her within 72 hours of the date. I wouldn't ask within one week of the event either, just to be on the safe side. Covertly ask her sister(s), mother or girl friends (only use these sources if you can trust they will not alert her to your inquiries though).

That being said, I have always had good luck with something from the heart rather than something from the Wal Mart (yep, I'm a red neck).

Good luck brother. :D
 
EUREKA!!!!

Always asking how long I'll be spending on those damn Bladeforums. Bitching at me every time we're late. Asking if I know what occasion it is. SHE WANTS A WATCH!!!

hahaha Like a book! I hear ya baby! :D
 
Oh no, this gonna be interesting. :D Some one get the beer and chips. Nic, set up a web cam and let us know when you give her the watch and be sure to explain to her how you came to that conclusion. :D Good luck bud.
