The second anniversary is traditionally associated with cotton, while the more modern item is china. Creative gifts using either element -- or a combination -- are virtually limitless. The gemstone for this anniversary is garnet. Emphasize the number two with gifts such as matching cotton pajamas or sets of elegant silver chopsticks. Give cosmos, the second anniversary flower, as seeds to plant and nurture.
Garnet
-
Cuff links, tie pins or money clips accented with garnet stones are attractive gifts for stylish men. A garnet set in a signet ring is a less common choice but can also be a strong accent piece for your husband's wardrobe. Look for tie tacks that can be engraved with your anniversary date or monogrammed cuff links with small garnet stones.
Cotton
-
The comfort, ease and durability of cotton make it a versatile material for gift selections. From cozy pajamas and blankets to a new jacket or designer jeans, a cotton gift can be used and worn as a daily reminder of your shared affection. For hunters, camouflage gear in light, breathable cotton is ideal for summer or warmer climates, while fishermen benefit from hats, polo shirts and gear to protect against sun and surf.
China
-
Give a set of chopsticks in a chic material such as silver, ebony, mother-of-pearl or bone. Matching chopsticks and place settings in an Asian-inspired design let you share a romantic dinner over candlelight. For a more daring and memorable gift, a two-week trip to China lets the two of you enjoy your relationship away from the obligations of daily life.
