4. 2nd-anniversary photoshoot

   I may be biased but I strongly believe an anniversary photoshoot is a gift she will absolutely love each year. Not only that, but it’s a tradition you and your children will cherish even more years down the line.
   It’s such a joy when couples reach out for an anniversary photoshoot in the Cotswolds. Being based here, we constantly discover so many gems in the Cotswolds area!

   What you get in return is a wonderful experience and beautiful photographs of your love together. And that is priceless as time flies…

5. Book an anniversary trip (to the Cotswolds)

   If you’re considering coming to the Cotswolds for your anniversary photoshoot, why don’t you plan a getaway? A Cotswolds trip for your 2nd wedding anniversary gift is a fantastic idea!
   Here are our 10 most recommended Cotswolds hotels:

7. Hammock anniversary gift

   This could possibly be my absolute favorite wedding anniversary gift. Especially if you live somewhere with a garden, this one will certainly make your wife very happy. Once you stayed in a hammock, you know you need one for your home. It’s such a wonderful gift for any occasion, to be honest!

8. Cotton scented candle

   Maybe your budget is slightly tight on this occasion (and that’s absolutely fine, don’t worry). In this case, I would suggest a cotton scented candle for your 2nd wedding anniversary gift.
   It shows that you have definitely made an effort and it’s also extremely romantic. So pair it with a fun movie night with snacks and you have yourself a wonderful and thoughtful wedding anniversary activity.

9. Ceramics / China

   I could not end this list without showing you some ceramics you could get instead of cotton-made gifts.
   Needless to say, ceramics are always a great idea and you can never have enough. Etsy is a fantastic place to find handmade, beautiful ceramics for a gift.
   The only issue here would be to stick with only one!

10. Real cotton stems

    If you really want to make an impression and show how much this really means to you, add some real cotton stems to any of the wedding anniversary gifts from above. It is the most literal 2nd wedding anniversary gift idea, to get some actual cotton to put in a vase.

    I hope it is very obvious that a wedding anniversary needs to also come with a thoughtful card and chocolate, right? Ok, good. Just thought I’d mention anyway.

    And if ALLL else fails…..

     

Happy second wedding anniversary!
