Cotton comfort: great gifts for the second wedding anniversary

While china has become a modern addition for second anniversary gifts, we prefer the more traditional option of cotton. We love cotton for its durability, versatility and practicality. Cotton also gives you the option to think a little more creatively. Of course, you could go the more obvious path with some beautiful bed linen or a chic piece of clothing, or you could think outside the box – perhaps a French-style apron for the passionate cook, or contemporary canvas for an art lover.

For a more romantic gift, pack supplies into a canvas backpack and hike to your favourite picnic spot, or buy a hammock big enough for two. Even if you’re not a traditionalist, we’ve come up with some great cotton gifts that are sure to impress your significant other.
