Cotton Anniversary coming up, help me find an original gift that can be taken abroad

[NomDePlume]

please

Dh and I will be celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary whilst we are abroad on our family holiday. The 'theme' for 2 years is apparently cotton, which in theory should be pretty straightforward but I can't think of anything other than monogrammed hankies or undies....

Big fluffy towelling robe - might be a bit big to pack tho' (just take the belt)

Extravagant posh cotton shirt - then he can wear it for a meal out!

Bearing in mind that I am also a penniless SAHM

Buy a really nice white tshirt, find out how to get kids to paint on it, and have the colours stay?

[NomDePlume]

that's an idea... Although I'd like it to be from me really, the t-shirt idea is a great Fathers Day idea though

[fairyfly]

just looked it up on the tinternet, here is what the put

New bed linen

Boxers or other attractive underwear for him

Sexy cotton lingerie for you that both of you would enjoy

Quality cotton towels

Matching dressing gowns

Hammock

Personalised T-shirt

ROFL @ 'hammock'

[NomDePlume]

he would divorce me if I bought us his &hers matching anything. Quite rightly so....

[franke]

Buy a piece of handmade paper made from cotton (traditionally that's what it's made of) and paint a picture on it.

[fairyfly]

[milward]

If it's a warm destination how about some cotton sun hats?

[mandyc66]

just hoping he is putting as much thought in to it for you!!!

[NomDePlume]

i doubt he'll even remember. He'll remember the date, but doubt he'll bring a card or anything with him...

[NomDePlume]
