"If you attended my pity party yesterday, you know I&amp;amp;#8217;m feeling a little cranky and a lot uncreative these days. But our first wedding anniversary is coming up, and I really want to do something nice for Rory, who&amp;amp;#8217;s been extra-wonderful the past few months, despite my general non-wonderful-ness.Oh, it&amp;amp;#8217;s just what I&amp;amp;#8217;ve always wanted! The traditional first-anniversary gift is paper (which symbolizes how delicate your union is &amp;amp;#133; or something like that). I&amp;amp;#8217;m a sucker for a sappy tradition, so I&amp;amp;#8217;d like to find something paper-related, but I don&amp;amp;#8217;t want go too literal. (Like, I&amp;#x27;m not buying him a fancy notebook.) One of my friends got her husband tickets to a sporting event, but the only sport we can watch together in July is baseball, and this Red Sox fan ain&amp;amp;#8217;t goin&amp;amp;#8217; to no baseball game with a Yankees fan, no matter how long we&amp;amp;#8217;re married. I could get him tickets to a concert, but he usually just comes home and announces he&amp;amp;#8217;s bought us tickets to any show he wants to see. Another friend gave her husband money to buy a piece of furniture he wanted. Ehhh ... Rory&amp;amp;#8217;s an artist, so I can&amp;amp;#8217;t get him a painting or a print by someone else. And we&amp;amp;#8217;re not big &amp;amp;#8220;lets hang lots of pictures of each other around our home&amp;amp;#8221; people, so a framed picture is out. If I were someone who wrote poetry, I could write him a poem. But I&amp;amp;#8217;m not, so I won&amp;amp;#8217;t. There has to be something else I can get him, right? Our anniversary&amp;amp;#8217;s in less than a month. Can you guys help me? Pretty please? More gift gab: A Super-Thoughtful DIY Gift (That&amp;amp;#8217;s Super-Inexpensive, Too!)
