Hello Shisno's,
Strange topic for this site, I know. I only signed up because I wanted to reach out to the Halo community to get my brain flowing with ideas. I am celebrating a 10 year anniversary with my significant other in September. He is a HUGE Halo fan (as most of you are haha). I have played all of the games (I started before he did) and I know much about the story and background (thanks to him talking about it). We (un-originally) call each other Master Chief and Cortana. It fits me perfectly because I kind of look like her: hair style, voice modeled after a doctor, facial structure, skin tone…you know ……live in a helmet attaching to neuropathways XD
ANYWAY….stupidity aside
For ten years I have planned every gift/celebration to the minute (my-nute) detail, but, my brain is pooped and I have lost my creative mojo (or just used up all the good gift ideas). Last year for our 9th anniversary, I was able to get him to meet Jen Taylor and Steve Downs with signatures, pictures and all. I feel like I topped out on my gifts for him…..I have given him everything awesome/thoughtful that you can think of. I want to do something simple….but I also want to do something memorable for our 10 year anniversary
SO, I went to Halo Waypoint to shop…..I literally put almost everything in the cart (by the way, money is not a barrier, no children, high paying jobs, secure assets/finances = more spending). But I feel it doesn’t have the same weight I want to deliver.
I am also an artist and thought of making a picture….but I have done that already…several times. One idea I had, was, to combine all our geeky identifiable couples into one and have it form a favorite picture of ours that we took at Disneyland….. I always try to throw something deeply personal into my gifts/surprises. After all these years he should know by now that I like to deceive with materials or events.
I also thought “343 STUDIOS!” but, I did research and saw that you have to be invited or something like that
I want it to be halo inspired. If any of you can provide some ideas, that would be awesome! I am still going to make it personal, that part is not for anyone to plan or think of. I just need a little kick to get my creative juices going.
