Twitterpated: Cotton Anniversary Gifts for Sports Fans, Bibliophiles, and Foodies
Wednesday, April 10, 2013As I mentioned last week, our 2nd anniversary is next month, so cotton anniversary gift ideas have been on my mind. Since I know I'm not the only one celebrating two years of marriage this year (some of my readers are fellow May '11 knotties -- HOLLA! And yes, that just happened), I thought I'd share some ideas. And since everyone has a different budget, I have different ideas for different price points, and they can be combined with one another if you want.
*NOTE -- most of these gifts are geared toward men, but some of them could definitely work for women :)
For The Sports Fan
- use cotton yarn to knit a scarf in your husband's team colors, or make him an apron (great for tailgating!) using licensed cotton fabric with his team's logo
- a cotton t-shirt/sweatshirt/jacket/etc. to represent his favorite team

like this one, because IU is awesome |
- a shirt PLUS tickets to a game (the cost of these vary according to the team)
- if he's a college football fan and you have the money to spend, why not surprise him with a pre-planned trip to the Cotton Bowl?
- make homemade cotton paper
- a handmade journal
- a cotton tote bag with books or a gift card for a book store inside
- this one is a bit of a stretch, because I don't know what the NapSoft material is made of (though there's a decent chance that there's some cotton in it), but this Nap Massaging Bed Rest would let your guy read his favorite books in comfort

pretty sweet, right? |
- make a cotton picnic blanket and/or napkins
- plan a romantic picnic (complete with cotton blanket, of course!) with gourmet foods
- a personalized apron or chef's coat
- a trip to New Hampshire or Louisiana, so you can dine at a restaurant named Cotton (in Manchester and Monroe, respectively)

My Boyfriend and I’s 3 year anniversary was today but he’s in Ukraine together with his Unit(he’s part of the Marine Corps Reserve) and that i desired to surprise him by having an anniversary gift as he got home but am torn between getting him Cardinals tickets which being from STL he’s a die hard fan or perhaps an Apple iphone that they continues to be wanting for any very long time…opinions please?

I'd say you can't go wrong with either, especially if they're both things he'd love! I'm more inclined to go with the iPhone, just because it'll get more use, but my husband also isn't a sports guy, so I might not be the best judge, lol.
DeleteHi!
