Congratulations and happy anniversary! While the second wedding anniversary may not initially seem like the biggest milestone, we say celebrate big—always. Two years married is something to celebrate, and acknowledge in a stylish, chic, and ultra-romantic way. Traditionally, the 2nd anniversary calls for gifts made of cotton, china, or porcelain, but we're all about the thoughtfully unexpected and gifting outside the box.
Plan a destination getaway, start the home renovation you've been putting off, or keep it low-key and get inspired with these chic and (mostly) romantic gift ideas. Here, some of the most unique and fresh 2nd anniversary gifts for her, and for him.
As an ode to the tradition of giving your beloved a porcelain gift for year two, invest in something statement for your home—or that you know she (or he) will love. If you're exploring the art of designing an apartment or home together as a couple, a high design display tray with character is sure to take any space to new heights.
Surprise her with a pair of diamond pavé earrings embellished with garnet for an anniversary gift she can wear to your celebratory dinner—and beyond.
A slow juicer may not have made the wedding registry, so opt for one on your anniversary. This Hurom beauty comes in rose gold to ensure your practical gift doesn't make for a kitchen eyesore. Plus, it supports a healthy lifestyle—in and out of quarantine.
She got all the silk and satin pajama (and lingerie) sets for the wedding, so now it's okay to be practical—but still sweet. Gift her a chic matching set to lounge around in at home; this is a look that's far more festive than her quarantine athleisure, we're sure.
Give him a new robe that is as comfortable as it is functional. It's his turn to get gifted something dedicated to R&R, and a plush piece quickly turns your newlywed bedroom into a honeymoon suite.
You've been married for two years, and life has likely settled into a routine. Mix it up with a monthly cocktail club subscription that will improve your mixology skills while giving you something to do together on date night at home. Each box features three cocktail recipes crafted by world-class bartenders, and includes all the ingredients you'll need, sans booze. Salud!
Skip the dainty stacks—and gift a ring that looks like multiple pieces in one. Surprise her with a rock-studded, pave diamond ring for the other hand, or to wear with her ceremonial stack.
Since it's customary to give gifts of cotton or porcelain on the 2nd anniversary, update your bedding with sophisticated sheets that match your newlywed style.
Design his-and-hers map jewelry with a specific location that is representative of your relationship. It could be of the place you first met, your first home together, where you got married, or your honeymoon destination. A. Jaffe offers customizable map jewelry as necklaces, bracelets, cufflinks, tie bars, and rings so you can sport the locale that matters to you, in the way that best suits your personal style.
This smart mug lets you set your preferred beverage temperature and maintains it for an hour. Opt for a set to upgrade your morning mugs and bring a more tech-friendly touch to your morning and work-from-home routine.
You've settled in and have had time to evaluate what you still need—and want—to make your new (or old) place feel even more like a home. A marble leaning mirror makes for a sophisticated touch that feels modern, chic, and functional for those at-home selfies and last looks out the door. Plus, it's sure to make any space (small or large) feel that much more spacious.
Visit your local shelter or pound to find a dog or cat who needs a home, especially now that we're spending more time indoors than ever before. Pick your new pet out together or make it a surprise, but discuss the new addition, and your new pet's style, with your partner first—trust us.
Calling all art and photography lovers: Celebrate your second wedding anniversary by selecting a new painting or framed photograph for your home. Spend the weekend pursuing art galleries or find one that speaks to you online. Maybe it represents somewhere you want to travel to, that you've been, or calls to the color palette of your wedding day or home décor.
An update to your home is a gift to you both. Add new table lighting with a set of porcelain lamps that are as chic as they are useful.
This jewelry designer allows you to choose a date of significance (ie. a birthday, wedding, anniversary, etc.) and then shows you pieces corresponding to the moon phase on those dates for your very own unique and customized gift.
Exclusively compatible with the Apple Watch Series 1-4, this Smart Caviar Bracelet will make her Apple Watch feel fresh, luxe, and like a piece of jewelry.
It's time for an audio upgrade—but choose something that sounds just as good as it looks on display. Mix it up with a set that includes a turntable, speakers, and a vinyl collection. Test it out by playing your first dance song from the wedding at home, and then dancing all night long.
A weekender travel bag is the perfect gift for surprising him or her with a romantic getaway closer to home.
Your relationship was a sure bet, but game nights in are fun, relaxed, and understatedly sexy. Play a few rounds of your favorite card game and let the winner choose your next move—or your next vacation destination.
A new muted-tone premium cotton coverlet will help welcome the warmer days ahead—or add it as a top layer for cooler temp nights.
