advice on name day gifts

hello everyone,

i'm not quite sure if i'm posting this in the proper area...

my husband's 'name day' is tomorrow. he's polish and has been in the US for just over 2 years. i am an american. we live in CT, USA. we've only been married 3 months, and this is his first name day since we've been together. (actually we had just started dating about a week before his name day last year, but i missed it because i had no idea!)

what is the appropriate thing for me to do as his wife on his name day? should i get him a gift? flowers? a card? a cake? i really am clueless, so any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much for your help!

if you type name day into the search section .. you will find various threads on this. Hope this is helpful

Hi, name day is very important celebration in Poland. It is like a second B-Day but smaller. And gift should be the same way... smaller than what you usually get him for B-day. Card would be nice but no cake. We do not buy cakes for name day. Maybe a book, CD nice dinner....It really depends what he likes.

Thank you so much for all of your help! i went with a cargo net for the car (which he wanted) and a fragrance set. we'll probably go out to dinner too. he just found out he has to work most of tomorrow so i'm hoping the gifts will brighten his day a little a least. thanks!

don't forget a BJ. lol
