Cotton Anniversary Gifts

-- Cotton Anniversary Gifts --

When a couple celebrates their second anniversary, the traditional gift is made of cotton. The good news? It means there are literally thousands of gift options. The bad news? With all that selection, it can be hard to find the perfect gift!

Gifts for the Couple

If you’re shopping for a gift for a special couple in your life who is celebrating their second anniversary, look for a gift made of cotton that they can share together. The possibilities? Endless! Consider purchasing a set of high quality sheets – just make sure you know what size bed they have in advance. Matching cotton robes are a lovely idea, or, for the couple who loves to cook, matching aprons! Any gift becomes extra personal (and extra special) when it’s personalized! A lovely throw blanket embroidered with their names is a lovely gesture – if you can remember their wedding colors, you might want to use those!

A quilt is a lovely sentimental gift to give a young couple who have been married for two years – and it’s something they will truly keep forever. You can purchase fabulous quilts from retailers, or you can make one on your own. You might find a local quilting club to join, or to purchase a quilt from. For a special touch, consider including some specials scraps of fabric – for example, you might use her baby blanket for some of the squares, or pieces from a bridesmaid dress!

Many websites offer the unique service of turning a photo into virtually anything! Upload a photo of the happy couple (a wedding dance photo would be lovely) and turn it into an afghan or a cushion!

Gifts for Him

Shopping for a special gift for your husband? Splurge on designer underwear (cotton, of course!) or some unique t-shirts. A set of cotton towels with his initials embroidered on them will be perfect for taking to the gym. Or, if he loves to relax outside, why not buy him a deluxe cotton hammock for the backyard?

Gifts for Her

If you’re shopping for your wife for your second year anniversary, you can fill the cotton quotient by getting a deliciously comfortable new set of pajamas – but you might want to get her something sexy as well! A personalized hoodie with the word “Mrs” emblazoned on the front will be sure to make her grin – or make it even more personal by adding your last name to it. You might also get her an entire yoga set so she’ll always think of you when she’s stretching and relaxing- or give her a gift certificate to her favorite shop, where she can buy all the cotton clothing she desires! A romantic treat we’re sure she’ll love? Cotton candy! It’s a fabulous play on the traditional gift of cotton.

Cotton: A Starting Point

The gift you give doesn’t need to be 100% cotton. Just think of this as a starting point. For example, you might give him a new pair of designer sunglasses – with a small cotton square for keeping them clean. Or, why not go splits on something you need for the home together? Purchase a new bed – with cotton sheets. A new table – with a cotton table cloth. Or, a new sofa – with a few cotton throw cushions!

The second year anniversary is such a romantic one – a couple is still just starting out, in the grand scheme of things! Celebrate this anniversary with the traditional gift of cotton – in a modern and unique way!
