Cotton Anniversary

We're celebrating our cotton (2nd) anniversary soon. We had a little embarrassing incident last year, with our paper anniversary when I gave him a book of love poetry and he presented me with expensive ballet tickets. I want to buy the best present this year! (Serious answers only, please)

Get him a personalized robe and put in the pocket a certificate for a weekend getaway where he can only wear his robe!

30th Anniversary Party-Cotton Eyed Joe/Shoddish

Mary Lou, the 'cotton anniversary' is a couple's second wedding anniversary, in which the tradition is to give one another something made primarily of cotton.

Each passing year's theme is somewhat more valuable. In the 1930s a trade group of jewelers, not content to let decades pass before people felt obliged to buy gemstone gifts, revised the traditional gift list which is probably Victorian in origin. It was 1st: paper (modern: clock); 2nd cotton (china); 3rd leather (crystal); 4th linen (appliances); 5th wood (silverware); 10th tin or aluminum (diamonds); 15th crystal (watches); 20th china (platinum); 25th silver (sterling silver); 30th pearl (diamond); 35th coral (jade); 40th ruby (jade again); 45th sapphire (sapphire); 50th gold (gold); 55th emerald (emerald); 60th diamonds (diamonds)

Our 1st wedding anniversary is next week and I still have not found a gift. I know, 1st anniversary is Paper... but not in France. Here, it's Cotton like our traditional second anniversary.

I need ideas and quick! I'm not into personalized stuff as I find it often tacky. We have tons of new bed sheets and towels already...

Your input? :-)

matching t shirts? matching boxers? cotton blanket for two? bathrobes?
