i'm kinda stumped beyond the obvious.

Re: 2nd anniversary coming up... Cotton?

  • Our anniversary is coming up too.  We're going to be in the south, specifically Charleston, SC on the 26 for our anniversary.  I googled quilt shops in the area and found one.  Then I called the shop and asked for a wedding ring quilt in the colors of our wedding and had our wedding date and our 2nd anniversary date embroidered on it.  I'm going to lead DH to the shop on one of our days in the city and pick it up.  He loves hanging out on the couch in the winter and watching movies, covered up with a blanket.

  • lol - the first thing that came to mind was new sheets!  :) 
  • Cotton Stationery (that was after I came up with sheets as well).  I have no idea what DH and I's is anymore we've been together too long :(
  • I think Joe is getting me a new lamp I've been crushing on... with a linen (cotton!) lampshade!  :)  That works, right?

    You could do a custom screen printed shirt (I've seen fun ones on Etsy).  I know that is clothing - but it's a bit more original than just picking one out at the store.  New sheets.  New towels (too blech? I get excited by new towels!).  A photo/piece of art printed on canvas. (becuase that's made of fabric, right? close enough to cotton!)  A fabric/rope hammock with stand to enjoy next summer.  A fun purse (like a LILL bag maybe? pick your own cotton fabric).

  • Our 2nd anniversary is in October and I bought him Vikings tickets.
  • I immediately thought of underwear.  But my mind is on sex and Big D today.
  • We follow the traditional wedding gifts each year.  For cotton, I bought him lots of comfy cotton clothes (pajama bottoms and t-shirts).  He thought is was the greatest thing.  He bought me a blanket with our names and wedding date stitched on it from Things Remembered. 

    I bought this just for fun and wear it quite a bit.  People always get a kick out of it.

    Just today? That's not like you at all! Wink 

     

    For our 2nd anniversary, I bought Mike boxers and a new tie to wear to job interviews. He got me a bathrobe and a new outfit to wear to Zumba.

    I'm back to work, so I have been more tired than usual.  But not TOO tired.  Stick out tongue
