Second (2nd) Anniversary Gift Ideas

Whew! No longer newlyweds, but don't let that newlywed feeling fade! The 2nd wedding anniversary is a major step towards a long and happy future together. Below are some of my favorite traditional (cotton) and modern (china) gift ideas for a second anniversary:

Traditional Cotton Gift Ideas for a 2nd Wedding Anniversary:

Indulge her with luxurious Egyptian Cotton bed linens.
Print movie tickets, pop some popcorn and have a home screening of the movie “Cotton Club”.
Order monogrammed fine cotton handkerchiefs.
Purchase His/Her cotton bathrobes. Pamper each other with a sensual massage.
If she’s a gardener, purchase her a new pair of cotton gardening gloves and Cosmos seeds. Cosmos is the traditional flower of Second Anniversary.
Purchase and set up a two-person cotton hammock under the shade tree in your yard. Enjoy an afternoon nap together.
Buy personalized monogrammed cotton towels for her bathroom.
Take her to the local fair and treat her to as much cotton candy as she wants. No circus in town? Rent a cotton candy machine and whip up your own.
Plan a trip to Memphis, Tennessee to visit The Cotton Museum. Hit up Graceland while you’re there.

The modern symbol of the Second Wedding Anniversary is China.

Modern Gift Ideas for a 2nd Wedding Anniversary:

Plan an Afternoon Tea. Surprise her with a new tea set from China.
Take her out to a Chinese restaurant for dinner.
Order custom fortune cookies with personalized messages printed on the fortunes inside.
Plan a vacation to China.
Plant a Chinese Dogwood Tree together. You’ll both enjoy its beautiful blooms for years to come.
Choose a couple Chinese symbols that hold meaning for you. Have them hand painted and framed and hung in your bedroom.
Buy an expensive gift – like a nice piece of jewelry – but present it to her in a Chinese take-out box. She’ll be surprised to find such a wonderful gem in such an ordinary vessel.
Give him a Chinese Feng Shui Serenity Pillow.
Present her with a hand painted Chinese greeting card featuring the Chinese symbol for Love.
The Chef would appreciate a new Chinese wok or bamboo steamer.
