Help...

Guess I seem sort of needy by now lol..Just wondering if you have already celebrated your 2nd anniversary, what did you get your DH? I am completely at a loss of what to get him. It says cotton is the symbolic gift..and suggested robes, sheets, etc. I could totally see my DH's face if I gave him a set of sheets for our anniversary lol..Tongue Tied

Re: Help...

  • John loves to cook, so I got him a really nice dish towel. I know it's not romantic, but he still uses it.

  • we do the traditional stuff also.

    I got DH a shirt that he loves, just a cotton button down shirt with some pattern on it, I dunno.  He loves it, wears it all the time!  He also got me a shirt, and he did pretty good picking it out too!

  • I got him 2 Affliction shirts and he got me 2 dresses from Old Navy. We have pretty much all the other cotton ideas I found.

  • Ditto shirts, robes. Golf towel.  We were about to move last year, so we did a dinner on a nice new table cloth. We didn't do the traditional for the 3rd year :(
  • i suck because we don't do gifts, just out to dinner.

    We did the same! Our anniversary was in June, so rather than spending money on gifts, we pooled the money for a long weekend at the beach.

  • Well, I doubt what I did will be of any help b/c it is so specific to my H. DH is a big WWII buff so I collected a grouping of vintage military patches (not all are cotton but the embroidery threads are on most of them) and had them mounted in a shadow box. He thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread and they hang in his office now. We also went to the D-Day museum that weekend so it kinda tied into that also.

    The other thing I considered (and something you might not know if you aren't all artsy fartsy like me) is that most art prints (think lithography or intaglio) are done on cotton rag papper or cotton canvas. If you go on Etsy and search "print on cotton" you will get a ton of results.

    Just FYI - narrow it down by clicking under the Art category when all those results pop up.
