Anyone doing a cotton anniversary gift?

We're not giving anniversary gifts this year because our Israel trip was for every gift for the year pretty much.  Smile  BUT I was thinking of trying to make something inexpensive... I found an amazing quilt idea but I don't think I'll have enough time to finish... especially in secret.  I just thought of doing a/some bed pillow(s) with wedding stats of some sort but I haven't sat with the idea long enough to come up with anything creative.  Just wondering if anyone else was thinking of doing something with the traditional cotton gift.

  • Underpants Stick out tongue

    Simply because the word underpants is hilarious to me.  Especially cotton underpants.

    Matt loves Munkii!!!
  • We got tickets to a show (Ben Folds with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra... can't wait!) which is what we did last year for our anniversary (we saw Bill Cosby live), so I hope the "event tickets" theme carries through for our anniversaries. :)

    I could get DH a t-shirt... he loves funny t-shirts and that would fall under the category of cotton.

    Love it! 

  • I'm getting him an Adidas jacket he's had his eye on. I think there's some cotton in there!

    After 22 cycles and 4 failed IUIs, Serafina joined our family through IVF/ICSI, born 8.28.12
    Surprise! The Sequel is due 12.8.14!

  • I was going with a flannel shirt, but I'm totally digging the underpants thing. We're on a tighy-whitey budget this year (still paying off the windows), so that's something I could do.
  • I have no idea what to do.  Honestly, I'm not sure we are doing anything.  Our anniversary is Oct 10th.  But, we just moved into a brand new house so that ate up a lot of our money.  Then Peyton's birthday is on October 22nd, so the party and a couple gifts for her is eating up our money this month anyways.  Then we have DH's birthday in November, followed by Christmas... so, I think our anniversary may fall by the way side now...

  • Like Higgy, money is tight for us with our new house and Liam's birthday so we kept it small. Dinner out. DH bought me an iPad earlier in the year and that spread across most gift giving holidays for the year and we're getting new iPhones when the 5 comes out (I still have the 3 and can't even load FB on it anymore...can't wait for one that actually works!).

    We had a ton of best buy reward dollars since we bought a new washer/dryer and refrigerator over the summer, so I let DH have them to buy a video game he wanted. And I surprised him by bringing home some macaroons from this neat little place near the Capitol.

  • We're doing the "modern" second anniversary gift - china.  We have some stuff we didn't get and would like to purchase to complete our set so DH and I are buying 2 soup bowls.  wahoo.  lol.  We're taking a trip to the north shore of Lake Superior next weekend though with a fancy dinner out so that is our real gift I guess!
