Cotton gifts?

Post by rbaron »

Hey friends :)

My second anniversary is coming up, and the theme for gifts is cotton...the thing is, I've been giving my now-husband cross stitch gifts since I started, giving him the very first thing I ever stitched and stitching stuff for our wedding. So, cross stitch feels repetitive and like cheating. But I don't really know how to do any other crafts, so I'm stuck.
Other websites have clothes and bedsheets and stuff...I dunno, that feels a little impersonal, plus we travel a lot, so bedsheets probably wont be used for like 2 years lol

Any thoughts?

What about using some printed cotton fabrics for something? Perhaps cut them into shapes and put into a shadowbox frame, or make a pomander or something. I'm really not good with these kinds of gifts!
