Advice on gifts for Capricorn

My Cap and I are spending the 3 year anniversary together.

I've planned a lunch and activities for us. He's recently got fired and I don't want him to worry about getting a gift, and it's hard with our "status" on hold.

So question is, should I:

A) Mention that we should just skip the presents this year.

B) Set a budget for gift giving

C) Just buy something as I normally would

D) ??

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Congrats on three years!

Either way, I hope you guys have a fabulous lunch 😄

What you have planned would be enough. Just have a good time, create memories.

Should I make it clear that we should skip gifts this year? Last year we gave each other gifts and I know milestones are important to him. I just don't want that situation where he shows up with something and I'm empty handed...

Cook him his favorite meal wearing heels and an apron only and have a candlelit dinner at home.

Take a bottle of bubbly, cheese, crackers, and fruit and picnic somewhere with a scenic view. Bonus points if your toasting those three years while sitting on a plaid blanket.

Buy an experience you can both enjoy like a couples massage or tickets to a show. Spend under $ 60.

If you do a gift do something small but meaningful where the focus isn't on the dollar amount but the thought behind the gift.

Example,an engraved flask (with love *your name and date).

It could also be a practical gift, something he needs like a French press. Its actually more romantic as he be using it daily, holding a tangible piece of your affection in his hands.

something useful or something he likes a lot.

Something useful as in.. like a penholder xD

..something that can be used to multiple things. Do a demo for him - "you can use it like this and that and like that also"... that will melt his heart.

yeaah. like LadyNeptune said, above..



But in all seriousness... I'd say, do what you feel like, when you put in your heart into doing things for him - that's all that is needed.

Happy Anniversary to you both! 🙂

Yes you should tell him the plans if you think gift exchanges shouldn't happen this year. After 3 years being together, you should be able to tell/suggest/share anything with eachother. 🙂

Let him know that this year is about creating memories and no gifts.

Spend quality time together n wear heels!

Anniversary of what?

Your relationship doesn't have a title, so I'm just wondering what you're celebrating. First met? First date? First kiss?

Anniversary when we first met.

I floated the idea of having a theme for gift giving and a budget, and he said it was up to me. I suggested that we each plan a day for the other and skip gifts. He like that idea too so that's what we'll do.
