DryCreek seem to have the voice of reason here and I would have to agree. Unless your ducks are in a row already, you don't want to do anything to upset the apple cart before you're ready. I also agree that it's actually harder to find a card in these situations. I spend forever every holiday looking for a card that's funny, but not too funny, and has no emotional or romantic tone, but isn't rude or overly detached. It's a very tricky balance. Anniversaries aren't as bad because anything referencing the passage of time is sufficient. Valentine's Day is the worst because it's expected to romantic. The rest of the holidays are much easier to get cards for. Or, as in the case of my birthday last week, I got no card. Doesn't get any easier than that. I have not gotten a card for ANYTHING since year 1. But I dont give them either. We slowly stopped exchanging gifts when the kids were younger.

I think I would aim for a completely random gift. Something that is so not her it makes her question if you even know her. Have a little fun with it. Example since I dont know you or her. Fashionable city girl. Overalls Total tomboyish. Gift card for fake nails

Fashionable city girl. Overalls Total tomboyish. Gift card for fake nails ^^^^^ YES!!!!! Oh, my final anniversary, if I remember, I got my wife a $50ish arrangement of her favorite flowers, her favorite candy, and took her out to one of her favorite restaurants. What did I get in return? A cold shoulder. I retreated to my room in the garage and had a delightful conversation by phone with you, idgaf96. Best anniversary, ever!!!!!

As for the anniversary gift I go with greatcoastal suggestion of a massage certificate. Quite neutral and useful. As an aside, anyone who has not been to Sedona needs to plan a trip there. Take good hiking shoes and a camera, it may be one of the prettiest places on Earth.

The present is to ignore the date all together and do nothing.
After all Room Mates don't buy each other anniversary presents.
