On Saturday it will be my 2 year anniversary with my boyfriend. And I have no idea what I have as a gift. I' don't want to buy him anything because Christmas is next month. Last year I took a picture of us together and used it as a background and put all of our favorite songs on there..I made it look really nice and he liked it a lot. Then for valentines I made him a slide show of us and now I have no idea. I'm not very good when it comes to writing lovey dovey cards either...haha. I've already given him pictures of us in a frame...what are some creative things you guys have done for your anniversaries..or just anything in general?

How about making a pie?
Here is a quick one, takes may be 15 minutes to make:
Ingredients
2 Packages of Mori-Nu Lemon Creme (powder)
1/3 of a box of Graham crackers
Use a pie form, e.g. a glass plate, may be 8" or a bit larger.
Pie Crust
Oil the glass plate, e.g. olive oil.
Crumble the Grahams of one single package of Graham crackers over the plate (there are three single packages in a box). Crumble well (the smaller the better) and distribute the crumbs well, also up the rim. This will make your quick crust.
Pie Filling
Remove water from 1 extra firm tofu package and scramble tofu, place into blender.
Add fresh water to cover the tofu.
Blend for about 2 minutes or longer to create a very creamy paste.
Add 1 package of Mori-Nu Lemon Creme (a low fat pudding mix).
Blend until smooth.
Place the creamy mass into a pot and add another package of Mori-Nu Lemon Creme. With a whisk broom whisk filling until very smooth. The second package of Lemon Creme will not likely be mixed well by the blender, since the mass gets too thick.
You could fill the pie filling as is into the pie form on top of the Grahams, yet, I prefer to boil it on low settings for about 3-4 minutes after bubbles break surface (stir constantly) since there is starch in the Lemon Creme, and tofu should be heated.
The Pie
When done, fill the pie filling on the Graham crumbs, distribute it evenly. Cover all the crumbs along the rim with the filling, otherwise it may look "Crumbly." With a table spoon make half circle indentations in the surface of the filling from the rim to the center, one next to the other, to form a petal like pattern, looking as if the pie was bought from a store. Let cool covered in the refrigerator for a few hours or half a day or a day. The moisture of the filling will soak into the Grahams. Cut into 6 or 8 sections. To serve the pie pieces, use a triangular spatula as used for cakes, since the crust will be soft.
Variations: Mori-Nu Chocolate Creme, or Vanilla Creme.
You may want to add whipped cream or soy cream (TrueWhip or Soy Whip) for an extra treat.
Enjoy.

What is a good anniversary gift?
lovestruck
I have been with my amazing boyfriend for 2 years now and we decided to make each other something or to spend a little money on each other. I want to do something fun to surprise him on our anniversary but I want to think of something original and well since I have not been able to do that I need some help!! PLEASE!
Answer
Congratulations on your second anniversary. Whether you are celebrating the anniversary of a dating relationship or a marriage, you are probably looking for the one-of-a kind gift that will show him how much you care. You can look to the many websites that offer overpriced, impersonal and unoriginal "anniversary gifts," or you can think outside the box and find an affordable alternative that puts the focus on the love you share.
Make Your Gift
Make your own gift for a truly romantic second anniversary. The way to many a man's heart is through his stomach. Surprise your guy with a gourmet breakfast in bed. Cook his favorite meal or bake his favorite dessert. Make a batch of two dozen cookies, one cookie for each month you have been together.
If cooking is not your forte, write him a poem or create a scrapbook or photo collage documenting the previous two years of your relationship. Consider compiling your favorite love songs on a mix CD or tape. Show him how much you care with homemade gift certificates for things like massages, watching the movies he loves but you hate, and any chores around the house that he would love to skip.
Pick Out Cotton
Follow tradition and give your significant other a gift made from cotton. Cotton is the customary gift for a second wedding anniversary, but you don't have to be married to use this idea. Consider a plush monogrammed bathrobe, sexy boxers or a crisp new dress shirt. Enjoy snuggling in the outdoors with a hammock for two.
Think about your guys' interests. Does he have a favorite sports team? Give a team blanket for two so you can snuggle under the covers while you watch the game together. Maybe he's a video gamer or a music buff. Look for clothing or bedding with his favorite character or band displayed. If he's an artist or writer, give him a notebook of cotton paper to use for his creative outlet.
Take A Trip
Plan a special trip to celebrate your anniversary. Go away for just a day or take an inexpensive weekend vacation, depending on your budget. For a day trip, consider visiting a nearby lake, nature reserve, museum or amusement park or catch a play, concert or sporting event in a nearby town. Impress your guy by recreating your first date or any particularly memorable time together from the past two years.
Go camping for the weekend instead of booking a hotel. Plan activities ahead of time to avoid wasting time or getting frustrated trying to figure out what to do. Pack food to cook over the fire and don't forget the marshmallows, chocolate bars and graham crackers for s'mores. Bring a book of poetry to read, music to dance to under the stars, or a romantic movie to watch on your laptop or portable DVD player.
