Saturday we celebrated our 1st anniversary. We went swimming, out for a delicious Italian dinner (at the place that catered our wedding), ate our year old cake, then cracked open a bottle of Deleon Tequila (that we got as a wedding gift) and watched our wedding video. It was a perfect day 🙂
He bought me a really cute watch! I love it!!
You guys know, I’m a sucker for packaging. It came in an ice cube! How fun is that?!
I ended up giving him the speaker/ipod dock. He really liked it.
I also made him a sappy gift, because I couldn’t help myself! I saw this idea on Pinterest, and since we are going to Atlantic City to celebrate, I thought using a deck of cards would be a cute touch.
Here’s a peek inside…
We both like the idea of more thoughtful gifts. I made & gave him something very similar for our 2nd Valentines Day, so it was a throwback 😉
I saw this on pinterest too! What a fun fun thing and I love that you actually did it.
I have a feeling I have all these great DIY things on pinterest that I will never actually do.
Awww, cute idea!! (Nice work on the keys!)
Very pretty watch. I like!
I’m glad you had a good time on your anniversary. Love the watch! love the deck of cards! By the way, I tasted the cake…it was DELICIOUS!
Such great gifts!!! Congratulations! I love the idea of saving a bottle that was a gift of great tequila and sharing it w/ your cake. Every milestone is important but the first year is so special. Enjoy your trip!
Happy Anniversary GF, Love the cards, what a GREAT idea! I would need at least 10 of them that said “You don’t get mad at me when I lock the keys in the car AGAIN!”
How cute! Homemade gifts are so special. And don’t you just love Pinterest? So many great ideas, so little time 🙂
Mindy!!!!!!!!! I love this idea! (I may have to borrow it!)
Happy Happy Anniversary to you my dear and may you have so many more.
(I just celebrated my 10th!)

TOTALLY IN LOVE with the deck of cards idea! Too cute and so personal! 🙂 And… umm… did you say Tequila?!?!? Totally a tradition in our household! Ya… we’re crazy like that! That bottle of tequila (and your watch and it’s cute little ice cube box) are totally gorgeous!
