Exploring your own city makes a romantic second honeymoon. Your second wedding anniversary should allow you and your husband to spend time alone together in a romantic setting --- this is especially important since outside obligations often interfere with your romantic lives. Plan dinner at a restaurant you know he loves. Or to reflect the cozy atmosphere of your second anniversary, surprise him with dinner at home (hire a babysitter if necessary). Book a weekend in a nearby hotel and go sightseeing on a second honeymoon.
Creative Celebration Ideas
-
In honor of your second anniversary, try two different dates --- one could be a double-date with friends or a small dinner party, and the other could be a romantic dinner or movie shared by just the two of you. For a nostalgic touch, try to recreate the day you met. If you can still remember, recreate your second date. For instance, if you saw a movie for your second date, rent a copy and watch it together, or visit the same restaurant.

Try buying several shirts in different shades. Cotton is the traditional material for second anniversaries. Cotton is a versatile and cozy material, so look for a gift that will enhance your home or your husband's wardrobe. Buy a luxurious cotton shirt that goes equally well with work or casual outfits --- aim for something outside his typical price range. Or buy a comfortable new cotton bathrobe for around the house.
Creative Gift Ideas

For a relaxing take on cotton gifts, buy him a roomy hammock for the porch or backyard. China is the modern material for second anniversaries, so try surprising your husband with a new set of china dishes, either for everyday use or for special occasions. Since it's your second anniversary, think of cotton or china items you could buy in pairs --- for instance, two china candle holders or matching cotton aprons for the kitchen.
