Our 9th Anniversary Gifts to Each Other

Annie to Jay

Jay has a seemingly never ending collection of shoes piling up in every corner of the house, so I figured he didn’t need another pair from me. We also have plenty of suitcases and duffle bags from our many trips together, and that is where the inspiration for my gift eventually came! We’ve always loved to travel together, either on a big trip or a quick weekend getaway. Since we’re now trying to bring that experience to our kids and show them different parts of the world, I bought Jay a personalized leather passport case to take on all of our journeys together!

Jay to Annie

In 2017, we had gotten into exercise mode together and were assembling various pieces of home workout equipment. We lived in a townhome at the time so we didn’t have much room for large machines. So with limited space, we needed to be creative. This was a risky anniversary gift, but I figured it would work out (get it?) in the end. I bought Annie two leather medicine balls from TRX that we could use individually or together during our workouts. Thankfully she loved it!
