I got this idea for an anniversary gift for my gf from somewhere, but I'm not sure if it would come across as too cheesy, what do you think?
We'd be out at a restaraunt having dinner, and I don't even mention a gift so far, just to sort of make her nervous and start wondering if I forgot to get her something. Then towards the end of the meal I just casually say, "Oh yeah, happy anniversary." and hand her the gift that I had hidden under my chair, just in an ordinary shoebox. When she opens the shoebox, she'll find a single custom-made glass shoe in exactly her size. At this point, I'll take it out of the box, and bend over, take off her shoe, and slip it on her foot. Since it's custom made, it fits perfectly, so I say, "It looks like I found my princess." Then I'd stand up and give her a kiss and say, "And they lived happily ever after."
What do you girls think? Do you like it, or would it seem sort of cheesy?

I know you are asking females' opinions but I feel I have a valid contribution to make. The sentiment is sweet. However, I wouldn't go so far as to put the glass shoe on her foot. If I'm not mistaken, you said you only got one made. Correct?
The idea is actually really cool, in my opinion. The only thing I'd change is the wording and ditch the, putting on the shoe part. You could say the happy-anniversary-bit but when you present her gift and she opens it, just say, "It's a symbol. Being with you is like a fairy tale and you are my princess. I want us to live happily ever after".
I think that sounds better. It is very cheesy or sappy, as I like to call it but I think she'll appreciate that. Not all guys are willing to sacrifice their masculinity to show a woman/girl, that they care. So go for it.

Dude that is freaking genius! You have to let me know how that works out. And I would bet money that it will be the best thing that she has ever recieved.
