WTF- 2nd anniversary "cotton" theme?

[mikebw]

OK, I think I am in over my head here. My 2nd anniversary is coming up in a few days and I have nothing to give my wife. I see there is a theme that supposedly goes with every year, and for #2 the theme is cotton. That sounds so lame, I mean towels, sheets, robes, tablecloths... we have all that stuff already. That's what the wedding registry was for.

Who made up these yearly gift themes anyway? Is it just a guideline so you don't have to wind up buying her jewelry every year? Last year I got her a cool necklace from the place we had our reception at, but this year I have no ideas.

I wanted to get her the Wii Fit game, but we ended up buying that last week and already have it opened up.

Any ideas? All I can come up with now are some nice cotton slippers, but I can't imagine she would ever wear them, except maybe to make me feel good about buying them for her. I don't want to buy something like that, something she doesn't want or need, or will ever use.

Think outside the box - use cotton as a part of the larger/main gift: e.g., Cotton robes to use on trip (maybe the tickets stuffed into the robe pocket), beach towels for a beach getaway, etc.

Also, the modern gift (as opposed to the tradtional cotton) is china.

And to file away for the fourth year fruit gift: an "Apple" Mac, iPod, iPhone, etc.

Imagine her surprise when she sees you wearing nothing but cotton balls singing The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face at the very same piano Roberta did ?!

U.S. paper currency has cotton woven into it.
