A suggestion that will blow your wife away: On a major anniversary give her one gift for each year of marriage. Use this list or one of the alternate lists out there. She doesn't seem like the type to seriously expect you to follow these conventions, but will be surprised when you do. I just got 10 gifts like this, and all of them were creative and beautiful and not one was lingere! (I think I picked the right guy.)
I like that the sixth aniversary gift is iron OR candy. Your choice. Do you give the love of your life a new skillet or a box of sweets.
I've got five years to decide.
