For our 1 year anniversary, I gave him coupons for an amusement park {paper} and a leather-bound journal {paper}. He gave me the entire Twilight Series {paper}.
Last year, I gave him 2 shirts from j.crew {cotton} and he surprised me with this pillow {cotton} I had been drooling over for months:
Gorgeous, huh? He went onto my blog and sneakily found out the exact name/style so he could order it online, but THEN they were out of stock so he somehow managed to find it at some other random site. I think I'll keep him. :)
The traditional gift for this year is supposed to be leather. I was racking my brain for literally months, trying to think of something leather that he'd actually want. So, when it finally came to me, it was such a huge relief because he is really going to love this gift! I'll be sure to post pics next week.
hmm...I wonder what he'll be giving me? Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait and find out on Monday! But that's OK because I LOVE surprises!
Do you and your spouse give each other traditional gifts? If so, what are some gifts you have given and received in the past?

The hubs and I are coming up on our Cotton anniversary. I love the traditional gifts, but it's tough to come up with something creative! Thanks for the suggestions!
We have never exchanged "traditional" gifts, but now I'm thinking about it since our 7th is a couple of weeks away.
It's our 3rd wedding anniversary on Tuesday and I've been racking my brain for something original and leather! Can't wait to see what you guys did! Happy Anniversary to you!
Great post! Where is the pillow from?
