Of course, a little overnight trip to a B&B with some bike riding planned out is good also.

Isn't first anniversary paper or something? Not that it matters really. Maybe a good book?
SK is right - maybe a dinner out or a B&B weekend or something.
It sounds like he is into bikes? My best anniversaries were the titanium anniversary and the scandium anniversary...
DH always wants some really nice jersey or bibs. This year he wants IRD carbon bars for his birthday. HE's also someone who pretty much has everything, but if there's something he wants he lets me know. Maybe try to get a hint out from your hubby?Sarah

My dh has informed me that the modern gift for every anniversary is carbon fiber! For our 5th anniversary, he upgraded my components...the gift that keeps on giving. Tonight I received a new jersey and some cute new socks (monkeys) for Mother's Day. The four year old got rather impatient and couldn't wait another day. DH likes DVD's of old TdF, Giro, etc. to watch while on the trainer. He's always happy with a gift certificate to the LBS.
Happy Anniversary!

For our 25th (which isn't till sept) hubby bought me my new felt F75...I love it...but now I have the same problem...what to get him! If he wants something he usually justs buys it grrr. I know he likes these Josh Simpson planets so I am thinking of one of these. http://www.megaplanet.com/site/modul...l_groupmenu=15
Good luck with your quest.

Well... I think you have been well guided... most excellent suggestion... a nice wheel (like a ksyrium), a carbon seat post, one of the many excellent cycling manuals or accounts/stories, a subscrption to a magazine (Australian Bicycling is very good), a nice TT helmet, DVDs... ah, the list goes on...

Wow, smiley, those are beautiful and affordable! Thanks for the tip--might be something good for my upcoming anniversary. My husband is a workaholic so giving him something interesting/arty for his office would be great.

Thank you ladies. I got a few really nice ideas. YEs, he is a biker husband. I think that I may be looking for a good book about cycling and some gear.
Thanks again!

So, Lenusik, please let us know what you decide on, and if his eyes shone when he opened it!
