NBR - 2nd Anniversary Cotton Gift

in May 2014 Moms
I know the creativity on this board is overflowing and I am really stuck trying to think of Cotton-themed gifts for my husband for our second anniversary next month. So to take a break from the shitty symptom posts and other redundancies I thought I'd request some help from y'all. I've googled and nothing seems right. Towels, lame. I'd really like it to focus on him and me or him and baby since he's a FTD. Not just a present but something with meaning. Ugh I may be asking too much but I know with y'all's help I may find the perfect idea!!

    Is he a sports fan? Maybe a jersey or a throw blanket featuring his favourite team?

    Not so much a sports fan. He's into technology, photography, guns (were in Texas, so cliche), and indoor gardening. Weird combo of likes. Cotton is a tough one! He already got my gift which is two canvas prints of some pictures he took on our babymoon. So canvas prints are out.

    This! Our 2nd anniversary is April 7th. Last year I printed and framed our vows. I'm also totally stumped on cotton. New sheets?

    We did sports jersey for each other (not technically cotton) but it worked for us. That doesn't help if your DH isn't a sports fan though

    I would say a really nice set of sheets for the bed or maybe a nice new case (not exactly cotton but close enough) it could be a case for his camera or laptop.
    If he is into hunting maybe some new camo gear or new tent. Or if he uses his gun a personal protection you could get a new holster for him.

    I'm impressed, the canvas prints were such a great idea. Cotton is tough. How about a baby onesie with his favorite band logo? I was gonna get DH a rolling stone onesie. A dude diaper bag? A nice polo/shirt for him. Matching tshirts for him and LO.

    Thanks for the input and great ideas ladies! Cotton is definitely a toughie. I like the sheets idea since this guy complains all the time about the sheets we have. Maybe a splurge on a fancy shmancy set is in order.

    p.s. Just a heads up, 3rd is leather- my anniversary is in a week and I'm struggling! Prob gonna get a small token of some sort in leather and then buy him other gifts.

    Yeah I was thinking maybe a wallet, his wallet is SUPER George Costanza-y right now.

    A canvas print? Not sure if that's Cotten. A t -shirt quilt or photo quilt.

    How about an "I love Daddy" blanket for the baby to use?

    j/k. I'm crap at presents. H and I gave each other a trip to the casino for our second anniversary. so romantic. :)

    or maybe just something like that to cover the cotton part, and use it to wrap something really awesome that he'd like.
    We are going to Atlantic City this weekend to celebrate our 3rd :) Mini-babymoon! Even though it's only 45 mins away haha.

    I got my husband a really nice cotton flannel robe for our 2nd anniversary.  It was pricy to get a good one, but he gets a lot of use out of it.  


    @lica001 I glossed over the word "baby" when you were talking about getting a onesie for your husband, and I for some reason thought you were advocating adult footie pajamas.  You know, nothing says romance like...

    How bad is it that I kinda want one of those for myself?!? Maybe not wih frogs though.

    I got my husband a pocket square embroidered with our initials and our anniversary date. I found it on Etsy. He wears pocket squares with suits for nice events.

    He really liked it. It is sentimental but also functional, if your husbands wears suits. :)

    I ordered a cotton canvas of one of our wedding photos. I edited it with the words from "I Carry Your Heart" on the background.
