Each year, hubby and I rotate who plans the anniversary date or event. This year, he had event-duty which left me with getting him a gift (nothing too elaborate, of course). I decided rather than wrap his gift, I'd make him work for it.
There is an app on our iPhones called Word Warp that we've both been into lately, so I warped the letters of his gift and watched as his mind went to work!
This is what he was trying to solve:
(the letters given spell out lots of different 3+ letter words...the biggest word they spell is "motocross"...which is the word I wanted him to get at.)
(the letters given spell out lots of different 3+ letter words...the biggest word they spell is "motocross"...which is the word I wanted him to get at.)
Once he solved it, his anniversary gift was revealed: Tickets to a Freestyle Motocross Show!
So, here's the lesson application to you:
....you've gotta put a little excitement ahead of a gift like this. Although it's something he may REALLY want (he's been asking for 5 years to go to a motocross show with me), it's pretty boring to just hand over some tickets or something of the sort. You don't have to do word-warp, of course, but get creative in doing something personal to both of you. Make a mini-event of it and it's sure to be more fun...for both of you!

I'd love to hear your ideas, of course, so send your tips and examples my way!

That's very fun! Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteLove it!! Fantabulous idea.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute idea! I love making him work for the gift...I remember on my husband and my first anniversary (as a dating couple, six years ago), I made him go on a scavenger hunt. I don't even remember what was there at the end, but he had fun trying to figure it out! Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteLast year for Fathers Day we did a scavenger hunt with his presents. Starting with his card we left little clues which led to a place where he'd find another card with clues or one of his presents. Each present had a clue on it to the next hiding place until he found them all. It was a lot of fun. Totally something that is doable for a romantic gift as well :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I both really enjoy crossword puzzles- we spend the weekends competing to solve the NY times and WS Journal puzzles. For our 5th anniversary I made up a puzzle filled with clues about our life and hints about his gifts. It took me at least two weeks to make the crossword- but I had fun doing it, and he had fun solving it!
