{Gone Pinning} Cotton anniversary gift ideas

GonePinning

Guess what? Brandon and I are celebrating our second anniversary next week– two years already!? Which means I’ve been on the hunt for “cotton” anniversary gifts, the traditional second year gift. Check out all of my gift ideas — to give or to receive — on my Pinterest board.

I already got him a few little gifts (still a secret until Tuesday) and we decided to have a custom cotton canvas photo made of us, from Costco. I love Costco.

We have plenty of towels and sheets and we don’t wear robes, so I had to get a bit creative. Here were some of the runner up gift ideas:

Of course Brandon deserves this “Best husband ever” t-shirt

Maybe a Denver Bronco-themed apron to inspire him to keep cooking? Too late. He’s already got one!

And I would love something like this preppy table runner — or anything monogrammed from Mark & Graham:

Now to start thinking about the third year gift: leather. Any ideas?
