Cotton Anniversary Gifts
Wedding anniversary gifts are a time-honored tradition that commemorates the couple and their marriage growth during each year and is symbolized by customary items reflecting the strength and establishment gained. In this post, we'll be covering the traditional 2nd-anniversary gift, cotton, everything it symbolizes, answers to common questions, and gift inspiration. 
​For a detailed look and full list of each year, visit our Anniversary Gifts in Years post.

​How Many Years is a Cotton Anniversary?

​Two years, cotton is the traditional 2nd wedding anniversary gift. 

​Why is Cotton the 2nd-Anniversary Gift?

​During the second year of marriage, the two people intertwined as one become stronger and more comfortable, much like the fibers of cotton.

​What is a Cotton Anniversary Gift?

​Anything made of or related to cotton is what makes a cotton anniversary gift. A few unique interpretations of gifting cotton are canvas prints, cotton incorporated jewelry, cotton roses, and cotton scented candles.  Some people have even modernized this gift to be cotton-candy inspired. 

​What Should I Do for My 2nd Wedding Anniversary?

​There are several great ways to celebrate your cotton anniversary, whether it's by capturing memories or making new ones. 

Make your gift a memento with small household keepsakes such as monogrammed napkins, cotton bolls, and candles. All of these serve as a gift for daily use. Accessories in the realm of handkerchiefs, cufflinks, and jewelry make wearable tokens of your love.  

Start living your long-time plans by knocking off a travel destination from your bucket list and get something cotton from a favorite spot or event. Another option is to buy tickets to your next destination and pin it on a world map for your loved one to open.

​What Do I Get My Wife for Our Second Anniversary?

​Sentimental everyday items are a sweet choice for her, such as home accessories and artwork. Jewelry with a nod to cotton is always a nice gesture as well.

​What do I get my Husband for our Second Anniversary?

​Practical and relatable gifts are great ideas for him. Tie cotton into your gift in a small way with cufflinks, ties, and valet trays.

​What Do You Get for a Second Wedding Anniversary?

Articles of clothing, such as socks, pajamas, robes, and t-shirts, are a common match for cotton gifts. They are comfortable and can be personalized with a monogram or message for your loved one.

Additional unique ideas are string or soundwave art and love notes or star charts printed on canvas or blankets.
