COTTON or CHINA? My 2nd wedding anniversary is soon, these a

[ladygrey]

I need creative ideas to come up with a gift for my husband that involves either cotton or china. According to anniversary traditional gift list, the 2nd year is cotton or china.
Does anyone have any great ideas? I need to stay within a budget of $50.
Thank you! oh, he is 36, if that has anything to do with it
and yes, i am a bit of a die hard traditionalist when it comes to this, i don't know why, i just love the idea of themes! thanks for all the great answers so far!

Well, a trip to China is definately out, and unless he likes to cook (mine does) then I wouldn't get him any china. I'd get him something he'd use like a new pair of blue jeans or a shirt. But just because it's supposed to be cotton or china doesn't mean it has to be. Get him something you know he'd enjoy and don't worry about it!

You should get something you know he would appreciate. Unless you both are die hard traditionalists you don't have to give him either a cotton or china gift. I would not give him china unless you both agree you need a new dining set.
