2nd anniversary present ideas?

Hi ladies! My hubby and I are approaching our 2nd year anniversary, we are trying to keep it low key. Any good ideas on what to get him for the 2nd anniversary??

Second anniversary was hard - paper or cotton are the traditional gifts. DH had someone on etsy write our vows in calligraphy and had them framed. Which I thought was amazing.
Pretty sure I bombed in the gift department on our second anniversary and got him a pair of pants.

Get him something meaningful or fav sport something along those lines

Cotton is the traditional gift but that's hard. What about a jersey framed of his favorite player? My husband would love that

because cotton is traditional, I am thinking of buying my hubby a hammock for our new house, like this:

But I also considered some nice new sheets (some of the ones we registered for have not held up that well).

I try to stick to the traditional gifts as best I can. For our second anniversary, I sprung for a really good sheet set - way more than we would normally spend on sheets. It was so worth it and they are his favorite sheets. I think I also got him some pj pants and a t-shirt.

Oh, another idea would be undies or PJ pants from meundies. They are not cheap, but my husband loves them, especially the PJ/lounge pants: https://www.meundies.com/products/the-lounge-pant

I get my hubby a card every year, he gets me flowers. We try to plan a night out for ourselves. That's it. Our night out is kind of our gift to each other, and with kids, it's priceless! We don't really do gifts, except Christmas. Don't feel like you need to get him anything. Being your second anniversary you can still set the bar for future anniversaries. .. for a night or weekend away, or whatever little thing you want to make tradition. But if you guys are into gifting, then something simple and meaningful sounds nice. Or something he collects?

We went with cotton and had our favorite picture from vacation made into a 3 piece canvas for our living room.

Congrats on your upcoming anniversary! 🎉 For a low-key but thoughtful gift, maybe consider something personal like a custom watch or a handwritten letter with a small keepsake. One year, I actually put together a little "self-care" basket for my husband with things he never buys for himself—funny enough, he ended up loving my glycolic acid toner more than I expected 😂. Sometimes the unexpected gifts are the most memorable! 💡💖

Hi! For a low-key but meaningful 2nd anniversary (which is traditionally cotton), you could go with something cozy like matching personalized T-shirts or a custom photo blanket. If he’s more into experiences or tech, a gift card from blackhawk network might be perfect—they offer tons of options so he can pick exactly what he wants.

A small leather wallet or cardholder

I got him some matching PJ sets and we just had a movie marathon at home. Nothing fancy but super sweet.

Very interesting info!

The traditional 2nd anniversary gift is cotton, so maybe some cozy matching robes or a personalized T-shirt? I’ve also seen custom photo blankets that are really cute!

For our 2nd anniversary, I leaned into the traditional “cotton” theme and got my hubby a personalized cotton blanket with our initials on it — simple but meaningful. We also did a little dinner date using cashback from upside, which made it feel extra sweet since we saved money while celebrating. Low key but special can be the perfect combo

For our 2nd anniversary, we wanted to keep it really low key too. I ended up getting my hubby something simple but personal — a comfy cotton loungewear set (since the traditional theme is cotton) and paired it with a handwritten note. It turned out to be perfect, because it felt thoughtful without being over the top. I also checked out Upside gifts for a few ideas, and they actually had some nice options that fit the “low key but meaningful” vibe we wanted.
