5 Creative 2nd Anniversary, Cotton Gifts

Tradition says that year two of marriage should be celebrated with gifts of cotton. I thought about including a cotton candy maker on this list but I decided that was cheating. All of these picks are actually made from cotton.

If you missed it, you can check out my year one (paper) anniversary ideas here.

Mark and Graham Tote ($65), Tory Burch Tote ($175)

Is your lady a handbag enthusiast? Pick up a canvas tote from brands like Tory Burch, Lands End or Mark and Graham. These make great gym or beach bags. For a personal touch, this Mark and Graham one comes with optional monogramming.

Pawleys Island Rope Hammock ($150)

A hammock! Yup, rope hammocks are made of cotton. Except for the ones that are made of polyester….but we’ll just ignore those for now. Hang it out back and surprise your honey with a new favorite spot to relax.

Pottery Barn Terry Robe ($99)

There are a ton of robe options out there so you can buy these at almost any budget. These luxurious Pottery Barn ones are $100, but Target sells them for $25 and Sharper Image for $70.

Callaway Golf Towel ($28), Polo Ralph Lauren Stretch Polo ($98) Callaway Hybrid Head Cover ($15), Callaway Fitted Golf Hat ($25)

All of these golf accessories are made primarily of cotton. Pick a couple and make a little gift basket.

Kate Spade Chevron Scarf ($98), Mark and Graham Handkerchiefs ($24)

You could certainly buy a cotton scarf for a man as well, but for men scarfs are generally a functional item so it’s unlikely the he would want something light and flowy. Instead, go with a package of monogrammed handkerchiefs or some stylish pocket squares. If you want the latter (pocket squares, that is), Nordstrom has a great selection.
