Sorry not really any major ideas but i’ll be interested to see what other people answer. Our 1 year anniversary is next week, I’ve ordered him a sax as its an unfulfilled childhood want so maybe there’s something he wanted as a child but wasnt allowed, i know for me it was a racer bike with the curled over handles I got a shopper instead but mainly I wanted a Mr Frosty for a few years in a row that never materialised from Santa! Good luck with your shopping!

well it sounds like he has some sort of overnight activity planned, hopefully it means you will not sleep at home that particular night.
if this is the case, get something really sexy to wear, throw his ass completely off. I=0)..
