I always do the "traditional" and "modern" gifts they say to give for anniversaries, but with a twist. So for our sixth aniversary, traditional was "sugar" and modern is "wood". He got his favorite candy and a book (made from wood, right?)

Some years it is hard to come up with stuff, but always fun too. I usually just get flowers, a card and one small thing, which I am more than happy with.

No gift. We ususally do dinner or an activity together.

No, we buy a nice piece of art or something for the house.

Same as you, OP. My husband loves flowers, so we both enjoy them!

We go out for dinner and exchange cards. Been doing it for more than 20 years. We aren't big on mothers day/fathers day gifts either.

This is us too. One of the best anniversary dates we had was a very long lunch at Volt in Frederick.

Today is our anniversary. DH has forgotten. I plan to remind him right before he falls asleep. His surprised guilt will result in a big treat for me!

No gift - just out to dinner w/out kids.

We do the same as you OP.

We exchange gifts every year. Then again, we buy each other stuff for birthdays, Christmas, Valentines and Mother/Father's day too. And occasionally Easter. Fun for us.

My husband gives flowers and we go to dinner but i don't buy a gift. Just wondering.
