2nd anniversary gifts

[isabel]

Does anyone like to follow the traditional anniversary gifts? DH and I usually do something small that follows the traditional guidelines. This year is cotton and I have absolutely no ideas. I've already figured out year 5 though. So, anyone done this? Can you throw out some ideas for me?

boxers

Year one I played along...framed a picture of us from our honeymoon (paper)
Year 2 I got him a card.
Year 3 I did nothing.

I suck.

I did for my 2nd anniversary this past May. I gave him a canvas photo from our wedding. Here is a couple of ideas I came up with before I decided to go the route I did:

-Make an anniversary t-shirt and write all the reasons you love him. To prevent it from smearing in the wash, frame it!
-Instead of buying a ready made canvas photo, try this DIY Canvas Photo transfer!

And here is what my friend came up with for her anniversary:

I hope this helps.

What about a pillow with a picture on it from your wedding, or where you spent your honeymoon, or something like that?

boxers and tshirt

I got him a print that says "You Rock My World" (because that was how he used to tell me he loved me) and framed it. Paper = cotton.

[wannabe]

yeah, we do this. for the 2nd i gave him boxers.

You in a cotton negligee, along with a side of steak and BJ.

We took a trip instead of doing gifts, but for cotton, the first thing that comes to mind is clothes he wants. That might be boring. My ILs got us Egyptian cotton sheets. But I don't know if your H would like that.

On our second, I got him a Dodgers tshirt and hid game tickets inside the sleeve.

I like the idea of cotton lingerie, it amps it up since cotton sounds so boring.
I suck, I don't follow those guidelines.

Oh, I like this idea. Although things like this always tend to be more for me than him. Ha.

Boxers are a good choice. Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

I think the Second Anniversary year sucks and it was really hard to find something DH would like. I ended up getting him a special Washington Captials tshirt (our anniversary is during the playoffs) and he got me a sports beach towel.

Other ideas - robe, cotton hammock, sheets

It's just not a year for interesting stuff!

^that^ is always the answer.

I got DH a vintage t-shirt of his favorite hockey player.

This year is WOOD- any ideas for that?

Isn't a steak & a BJ the traditional 2nd anniversary gift? And 3rd...and 4th... and...
