The traditional 2nd anniversary gift is Cotton. On its own, a thread of cotton exists with no meaningful purpose other than to be cotton. Weave it together with another thread of cotton and a new shape begins to emerge. Now intertwined and connected, cotton represents two lives coming together as one to create a new, stronger bond, where all things are possible. Just like cotton, after two years of marriage we become more connected and comfortable in our new life together. What a great reason to celebrate year two with a Cotton gift!

Organic Soft Luxe Bedding Bundle
It’s true what they say, we spend one-third of our lives in bed – maybe even more for the newlyweds 😉 Now that your relationship is entering its second year, perhaps it’s time for a major upgrade to your bedding to make those nights even more comfortable and memorable. Buying a complete bundle will make your bed the only place you want to be!
There is comfortable clothing, and then there is Vuori. Inspired by the laid back California lifestyle of surfing, fitness and yoga, Vuori is one of our all-time favorite stores. It’s our go-to for all things loungewear, working out and swimming. There are countless options for both women and men, but these joggers are hands down our favorite piece they offer. Wear them around the house, to the coffee shop, to the gym, or drinks with friends – they fit in everywhere and are the most comfortable pair of joggers we’ve ever worn.
Whether it’s movie night or just cuddling on the couch, this woven cotton blanket is sure to keep you warm while reminding you of that special wedding day or place you met. Incredible detail on these maps that are fully woven together in the blanket to create the perfect 2nd anniversary gift
Dresses to joggers and skirts to shirts, there are so many options to find the best 2nd anniversary gift for you partner. You can’t go wrong with any item, and we’re sure both you and your partner will love how you look!
There’s nothing quite like a spa day. But the next best thing is slipping into a warm and cozy robe after a long day. Buy one for each of you with the added monogram and spend a relaxing day at home while feeling like you’re being pampered at a luxury resort on your 2nd anniversary.
The iconic yoga pant that’s ever-present in our daily lives. Yoga class, school drop-offs, lounging, day at the gym, or a casual date night. These yoga pants are the perfect complement to any outfit. Already have a few pairs? Try a new item like joggers and sports bras for women or hoodies and t-shirts for men for the perfect 2nd anniversary gift.
How amazing are these?! These one-of-a-kind string art signs are some of the most beautiful conversation pieces we’ve ever come across. The artist can feature any state or city where you met or were married, and there’s even the option to have two states intertwined to represent where you each grew up. Certainly a unique spin on this year’s cotton gift for your loved one.
There weren’t many options for underwear back when we were growing up, but lately it seems like there’s been an increased focus on high-end, comfortable and attractive underwear for men and women. Start off with a three-pack for your 2nd anniversary and then build your closet with all new shirts and loungewear.
So many options for everybody and every body. Fabletics activewear found the perfect match between quality and affordability. Upgrade your workout drawer with a few new items, or sign up for the VIP Membership for exclusive access to new items, deep discounts and free shipping among other incredible perks!
We got engaged at the Borgata in Atlantic City during a birthday weekend trip for Annie. While I gambled, Annie went to the incredible Spa Toccare there for a massage. Even though I lost on the tables, I won my best friend for life that weekend! (You’re welcome for being so corny, Annie). So a few years later on our 2nd anniversary, I bought her a cotton Spa Toccare robe so she could remember that trip every time she wears it!
Annie to Jay
Great minds really do think alike! We have spent many winters together visiting the Pocono Mountains with the Shawnee Inn being one of our favorite spots. One day while Jay was unsuccessfully learning how to snowboard, I stopped by the spa to buy him a cotton robe to remember our trips there. He doesn’t wear his as much as I do mine, but it has still made for a great memory all these years later!
