With all the recent talk of the tragedy I thought that I would try to take your minds off of it a little bit. I am I”H celebrating my 15th wedding anniversary very soon and need HELP with meaningful present ideas for my wife. Please help ASAP!!!
“Traditional 15th wedding anniversary gifts have a theme of Crystal.
A contemporary or modern 15th anniversary gift has a theme of Watches.
The flowers associated with the 15th anniversary are Roses
This Anniversary does not have any Gemstones associated with it.”
The idea is not the cost, but the thought.
I’ve done a few anniversary gifts that were (to Eeees) memorable. Here’s an easy one (provided you have some time until the date):
Go through your wedding pictures and find a nice shot of her wedding bouquet. Have it recreated in silk flowers so that she will also have her wedding bouquet. I did this for our thirteenth anniversary.
The Wolf
A nice pen or keychain.
I’m with Droid on this one.
I don’t have a meaningful bone in my body.
How about writing a nice poem on a card.
From my experience, presents that take time yet have a minimal cost are more valuable than expensive gifts.
May you and your wife be zoche to have many more happy years together.
(And may the two of you enjoy reading this poem out loud at your 50th anniversary.)
true, it’s a little different than an anniversary, but tonight is my Hebrew birthday~ a BIG one. I most certainly would NOT want a pen or keychain, nor a nice poem! what I really want is a kosher cruise, nice jewelry, or a trip anywhere~ even to a hotel upstate. what I’m probably getting is nothing from my DH; from my children & grandchildren~ most probably flowers & a cake; plus the 2 young married couples are coming for Shabbos.
Goq~ you wrote exactly what I would have. 😉
Wolf~ very sweet & thoughtful. 🙂
outoftownjew~ Mazel Tov & many more happy, healthy ones together! 🙂
always: Are you 50?
60!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-O B’H, k’a’h, amush
If you play an instrument, compose a song for her. Otherwise, I like Wolf’s idea.
first of all, make sure to tell her how happy you are to be married to her….(and to be married all together)
other than that, I can’t tell you as I have no experience
Why don’t you recreate a romantic or fun date that you had? It’s a good opportunity to reminisce and “be young” again.
when me and my siblings didn’t know what to do for our parent’s
anniversary and we didn’t have much of our own money, we went
through alll the albums in the house and took out every pic of my
parents together and stuck them all over the kitchen with
different sayings that each of them say a lot and wrote happy
annniversary. When my parents came downstairs in the morning
they lovved it!
Mazel tov to all those to whom this is applicable. I LOVED Wolf’s idea. Always, I wish you double the years you have already lived. (Since tonight is your Jewish birthday, tomorrow you might want to give out a few brachos to people in need of refuos, shidduchim, babies, parnasssah, etc. have I said too much?) Happy birthday in good health.
You cant loose if you ask her what she wants…or can you?
adorable, what you suggested is for sure the most important thing to do..so imagine putting those words to an original song that he made for her- and you’ve got yourself a wonderful anniversary gift! (Assuming she appreciates music.)
Mazel Tov!! Always that is quite a milestone may you live until 120
thanks, Goq! Amen!
everyone says I don’t look it.. youthful in spirit… my rock ‘n roll keeps me young ;-D

I think (and hope) that after 15 years of marriage you should know your wife well enough to know what she likes. Think about things she has mentioned and pointed out or oohed and ahhed about.
If you can afford it either buy a nice piece of jewelry, maybe theres something she really wants like a certain type of earrings or the like…
If you have the money and the time, go on a vacation with her even for a weekend, spend a few days just the 2 of you.
well informed indeed 😉
write a beautiful thank you card for all she’s given you.
of course, thank Hashem as well (kapitel ??)
Happy Anniversary! Many more returns of the day!
And a Happy Birthday to Always! May you see tons of ???
am yisrael chai~ thank you:) Amen!
oops! selicha, oomis~ thank you 🙂 Amen! & that’s a gr8 idea.
as per oomis’ suggestion to give out brachas today, on my Hebrew birthday~
to all who need refuas, yeshuas, shidduchim, children (babies), parnassah, or whatever you need~
In this week’s Parshas Naso:
“Thus shall you bless the people of Israel. Say to them:
Hashem bless you and protect you!
Hashem deal kindly and graciously with you!
Hashem bestow His favor upon you and grant you peace!
Thus they shall link My name with the people of Israel, and I will bless them.”
May Hashem answer all your worthy tefillas!!
the point is how you do ______ not what you do…. a simple night out with some ice cream can be cheap (if you cannot afford more than that) and have a better outcome/effect than a 10,000 watch
Always
!????? ?????
Or in your case, ?????? ?????!
am yisrael chai~ thank you. Amen!
public (private already given) apologies to my DH… he got me the most gorgeous b-day cake! 🙂 .
Thank you so much for the bracha always! have a good shabbos
your welcome, Goq~ May all the best in life come your way!
Good Shabbos to you, & all, as well! 🙂
outoftownjew~ apologies for hijacking your thread :/
jewelry or a trip!! I stand firm! ..what’s not for her to like?! 😉
for example– you can get her an ‘eternity ring’… a ring of diamonds all around. (google it, if you don’t know what it is).
“Think bigger please. Don’t worry about the money.”
Ok then, how about a yeshiva wing in her name? Tuition scholarships, day camp scholarships, food pantry, shelter, etc.
KMR retreat: choice of Canadian Rockies in July or Colorado Rockies in August. (I went in 2009 to the Vail, Co. one.. it was gr8. I actually would’ve preferred Canada but I won the trip, so…).
They have these necklaces that the charm is a gold circle with your monogram engraved and on the back they engrave your kids names. Or they have the circle with your monogram and your kids names engraved on different smaller circles.

is having a timeout in the CR’s Cocoa Room for writing “In this week’s Parshas Naso”!! 🙁…even my 7 y.o. grandson knew it’s Parshas Pinchas.
… it’s been a rough week 🙁
outoftownjew, I’m so curious what you ended up doing…
me, too
