My boyfriend and I are celebrating our first anniversary next month, and I am panicking. What do I get him? Extravagant and magical as he is when it comes to gift-giving, I cannot bring myself to match this talent of his. I am a lady who’s bad at shopping. No, that’s not a paradox: that’s just me. Mind you, I haven’t run out of options. On the contrary, there are too many, everywhere I look on the Internet there are sales and discount codes for everything, but I still haven’t found the gift item that might make me cry, “Eureka!”

Will a new Yamaha guitar please him? He has been strumming a five-year-old C40 acoustic, and maybe now is the perfect time for him to replace that. I might be able to surprise him. At Guitar Center I found a spanking, handsome Gibson Vintage Mahogany Electric, with which I am sure he will be delighted to serenade me. (He had gone all Adam “Wedding Singer” Sandler on me the day we officially became a couple.) Ha! Although it’s rather pricey, I can still save big on a potential guitar purchase if I use one of the online store’s discount codes.

I might also buy him some home gym equipment from Big Fitness. Not that he’s become lazy; in fact, he is doing everything he can to stay in shape: aerobic exercises, running, swimming, playing tennis. My boyfriend is a very active guy. Only, his metabolism is relatively slower than that of most people, so he has to make extra effort to lose unwanted pounds. If I buy him a couple of barbells and a treadmill for keeping fit, then I am sure he’ll appreciate that.

But his best friend Ernie suggested to me something else. Something practical. And something that might help keep appointments. My boyfriend, you see, has a penchant for coming in late – to meetings, get-together dinners, dates, concerts, basically anything that indicates will start on such and such a time. So for our anniversary, a wrist watch might do him good. A silver watch with a twist grey dial from Fossil not only looks elegant and simple and sexy; it also might help him become less capricious and more punctual. I just hope that he gets the hint – without taking offense.

Of course I have not exactly ruled out a possible leisure getaway vacation. Just the two of us, you know? The very lovely thought is driving me crazy. To find out how we might be able to have a grand, romantic time, I looked up the offers being made at Expedia, Inc.: there are very affordable deals, all-inclusive, on trips to Los Angeles (I can already picture the beaches and the sunset!), Las Vegas, Orlando, and even Canada. The good thing about Expedia is that they have such a broad selection from which to choose, and that they do the researching, the planning, and the booking for their customers. If I use one of their discount codes, we could be somewhere out of the city next month, enjoying a kind of precocious honeymoon.
