Second Wedding Anniversary Gift Idea

Your second wedding anniversary gift idea is traditionally with cotton or straw, unless you are celebrating with the modern list then you have china for your gift. We have put together lots of ideas to help you choose your perfect gift.

You are probably going to have more luck finding a gift of cotton unless you live in the countryside where straw and straw dollies are available at most local craft shops. You could twist the straw theme to have a weekend away in the countryside - we stayed at a guest house in Yorkshire that was in a perfect location for walks and finding great local pubs.

Cotton gifts are mainly going to be something to wear; a shirt, t-shirt, trousers, dress or hankerchief to name a few. Or something practical for the house; sheets, tablecloth, tea towels (yes, we have received those!) you can get some great tea towels and aprons with witty comments on some are more obvious than others but anything to make you grin when drying up is a bonus! Men also seem to be drawn to the barbeque, a great apron and the latest gas powered burner and they will be in their idea of domestic heaven.

For those that are following the modern list then your second wedding anniversary gift idea will be in china. By now you will know which bits you are missing from your wedding list and here is a great excuse to add to your collection. Or have a look at modernising your kitchen with a set of funky mugs or plates.

For those that love to go out then a trip to your best local Chinese restaurant is a twist on the china theme or if that is not possible then a take-away and a cosy night in is just as nice.

If you are wanting to celebrate in style then a trip to China is a big wow or you could have a city break at one of the many great China towns. Mmmm the honey buns at the Chinese bakers in Manchester or the duck at London's China Town are wonderful.
