What could be the best anniversary gift for your partner? Everywhere you look on the Internet, there are sales and discount codes for everything, but still it's hard to find the gift item that might make him/her cry.

My boyfriend and I are celebrating our first anniversary next month,Celebrating My Anniversary with Online Shopping Articles 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.
