Cotton Gifts for Your Second Wedding Anniversary

Can you believe that you're already approaching your second wedding anniversary? Maybe it feels like the time flew by, or maybe it feels like you've lived a full lifetime in the past 24 months. Whether you've been through a little or a lot over your first two years of marriage, one thing's for certain: you're still finding your way as a spouse. In turn, tradition has it that you and your partner should exchange cotton gifts for the milestone. Cotton's known for its adaptability, and it's meant to remind you to continue adapting, too. It's early enough in your relationship that you've got plenty of room to learn and grow as a team, so celebrate that with presents made from (or themed around) the fiber.

Here, we're offering up some of our favorite ideas for cotton anniversary gifts. Classic presnets include home goods like bed sheets and bath towels, while other common gifts are clothing (think: loungewear, pajamas, and robes) are popular, too. For something more creative, pull from the more unique selections, like the denim coasters or woven hammock for two. You can also skip cotton fabric in lieu of a looser interpretation, like a cotton-scented candle. Overall, we've found his and hers presents in a range of categories that span from romantic to practical. We've also presented a range of price points, so that you can get inspired regardless of budget. Click through and see which of these traditional present ideas appeal to you—congratulations on this big step in your marriage!
