Electrical toothbrush = bad idea. Sigh 
Luckily I had a back up plan
– one that showered her with presents far and wide (well, within literary licenses). In fact I gave her eight items all connected to a central theme. You mission – if you choose to accept it – is to figure out that this theme is. 
J-Squared are not allowed to play as the writer called to verify some items before returning to his casa
The items are:
Note from the Editor: I apologize for my client’s choice in items as several of them are a HUGE stretch….in fact one item is several hundred years off!!! *shakes head*
Can you guess it? Em did…well, after a TON of hints…of course, you don’t need to know that she shook her head and laughed at me for trying to connect the items to the theme…wait? Did I just write that? 
Remember – there are eight items (including the batteries)… and yes, color does play a part is most of the items..
If you can't wait any longer, you can find the answer can be found here.

Ok… whatever
I’m thinking its stuff that reminds you of when you first met?!?
Anyways Happy 8th to you and EM
ROFL!!!
oh Philip… sigh.. your no fun. =P
The answer is Bronze. Everything has a color similar to bronze or in the case of Jonah, is in the Bronze age. Granted I stretched things a bit… =/
oh – bronze is what your suppose to give for your eighth anniversary.
is that why you were so hung up on the color!?
I was wondering at your fixation. I thought it was to remind her of your hair.
Nope, the hair color was part of the “Anne of the Island” deal. =P
I could of told you the toothbrush wasn’t a great idea!
It’s always good to have a back up plan!
octennial anniversary
Bronze? The only thing really bronze is the mums. Veggie Tales? REALLY!? Talk about a stretch! Do you have bronzed socks, too? Is she supposed to find her way to the basement with the flashlight? Oh, please tell me there was more…….
hmmm… I kissed her? =/
