Open- not thousands- but a couple of hundred ok (given I've been lame on past years).. |

| How about a tree? Any sentimental trees - like one that he had in his college courtyard, or from a place where you used to date, or the same kind that's in his parents yard that he climbed as a kid? |

| Can't do a tree since we're planning on buying a larger house (we actually did have the number of children we wanted to- it wasn't looking that way when we bought). |

| For our last anniversary (our sixth) I booked a babysitter and a night at the Marriott. They have a romance package, very, very awesome. |

| it isn't very permanent but i bought my husband an ipod and if you buy it at apple they engrave it. he uses it everyday so he certainly appreciates it more than other more conventional gifts. |

If he golfs, you could do a set of clubs (they have "woods")
Perhaps a beautiful piece of furniture - either a bedside table for him or a coffee table. A really nice wooden frame plus a photo-session with a good photographer for the whole family |

A nice, hip pair of cufflinks. I think they were stainless steal, not silver, but close enough.

| Appalachian Spring has beautiful wood boxes - I bought my husband one for his watch, cufflinks, etc. They're in the $150 range depending on size. |

Totally not keeping with tradition, but I got my husband a GC to Red Door for a massage. He loved it!
