second wedding anniversary ideas ?

[bertie21]

Hello everybody, I am looking for a second wedding anniversary present for my husband. Traditionally it is cotton and but all I can think of are boxer shorts or hankies! I am stuck for ideas - any thoughts would be appreciated!

how about, a fabulous cotton sweater (Marks have some nice ones) super shirt, visit to a fair and buy him cotton candy. An Ed Mc Bain 53rd precinct book (there is a character called Cotton Hawes)

What about some nice cotton sheets....... for an evening of romance and seduction.

I agree with camille79 and suggest you but some really high quality Egyptian cotton bed linen. You will want long staple cotton and either a classic linen weave which is very crisp, or a cotton sateen sheet which is softer.
Supposedly, the higher the thread count, the better the cotton, but this is a bit of a con. Anything over 400 is probably double counted. I would suggest you buy from Harrods, John Lewis, Harvey Nicks, or a store that really knows it products.
They won't be cheap, but for a second anniversary, they will be worth it and very romantic.
