| | 11th Wedding Anniversary
Its our 11th Wedding Anniversary Tuesday ( err.. that would be mrs. G and me ) and while I have gifts picked out I thought I would take a quick look to see what is "tradional"

If I don't make it to the burger and beer event following monday you guys know whats happened Traditional:
Steel
* Stainless steel flatware
* Quality steel kitchen knife
* Steel vase or statue
* Stainless steel kitchen appliances
* Steel home decor http://www.happy-anniversary.com/yea...ar-eleven.html

In order for your safety I'd suggest something more like these http://www.etsy.com/shop/nervoussyst...ion_id=7252139
Quite a few of them are made from stainless steel. |

You could always go with a new twist on the classic: Mineral B.

Oh, c'mon, grynch, this one's easy! She would much rather have flowers, dinner, an original romantic poem penned by her man, or any other thoughtful gift, combined with the sentiment that YOU yourself are providing the "steel" in honor of the occasion! |

Whatever you do, don't give her this ( the knives are stainless steel) - she may get ideas. |

11 years ?
You're practically newlyweds !
As for the steel, pop by a nice jewelry shop and ask for: or et acier
Some shops have a steel and gold. It's rather modern, and quite elegant.
