Six month anniversary ideas

About six months ago (sorry I'm late with this), a friend of mine asked me for advice about what to get for her six month anniversary for her boyfriend. I've been thinking about it and here's what I've been able to come up with so far:

1. The six-month break up t-shirt.

If things are on the rocks nothing says it's over like a t-shirt with the following on it:

I dated (name of person) for six months and all I got was this crappy t-shirt

and on the back...

and a bad case of herpes

or

and a restraining order because somehow I think that calling someone thirty seven times in one night is acceptable

You could also turn it around and put something positive on the back, but nothing says our six months is over like something you could find at one of the souvenir shops at South of the Border.

2. The six month anniversary commemorative plate from the Franklin Mint.

This would probably be somewhat expensive to commission, but nothing says forever like a commemorative plate. Plus it would go well next to the Barack Obama and Dale Earnhardt Jr. plates in your significant other's collection.

3. A six month supply of Brillo pads

Who doesn't need a six month supply of Brillo pads, unless of course you've been stockpilin and hording Brillo pads and keeping them from your significant other. Who knows what other deep dark secrets they've been hiding. Do you really know their favorite breakfast cereal? Or did they just say that to lull you into a false sense of security until one day all of your Boo-berry is missing and now it's Wednesday morning, you're late for work, and because you didn't get that high fructose corn syrup rush, you miss the boss's question and as a result, you lose your job.

4. Shoes

5. A knife collection

If you really love your significant other (and really trust them) and they are into knives, this could be a great gift. Unfortunately, it could also turn on you rather quickly. Items not to buy with this gift: balloon sculptures, life size dolls of yourself

6. Prosthetic limb

This is a good gift, particularly if that special someone is missing an arm or leg. This would also be a good companion gift with a power tool, just in case.
