Traditional Anniversary Gifts for the Second Year
Your second wedding anniversary shows you've made it through the often difficult first couple of years and proven that your marriage is as durable, soft and comfortable as cotton fiber. Thus the traditional second-anniversary gift is cotton. There are numerous anniversary gifts you can buy that are made of cotton.
-
Monogrammed Robes
-
Purchase a couple of soft robes and have your monograms embroidered on the front. These will be perfect for you two to relax in after a long day or following a joint bubble bath. For added fun find the same robe but in different colors so you can each have your own distinctive one.
Hammock
-
Give her the perfect gift to relax in, a cotton hammock. Hang the hammock in your yard so she can lie out on a nice day. Or enjoy the hammock snuggling together as you stare at the clouds and talk about your plans for the future. Hammocks are also great indoors as a piece of relaxing furniture when put on a hammock stand.

Egyptian Cotton Sheets
-
Make your bed a throne with an Egyptian cotton sheet set. Your spouse will melt with excitement as he falls into the comfortable sheets. For a personal touch, have his pillowcase embroidered with his name or initials. Be sure to get a couple of pillow cases so they can be switched on a regular basis. You could also have a photo screen-printed on the pillow case for added fun.
Personalized Clothing
-
Make custom clothing for each other. This can mean having a t-shirt screen printed with a humorous saying, designing a completely custom item or adding your spouse's name to an already designed shirt, hat, boxers or tie. A fun idea is to have the lyrics of your first dance song printed or embroidered onto something such as a t-shirt. Or add his initial to a pair of boxers for the two of you to share during alone time.
