Congratulations on your second anniversary!  Two years is quite an accomplishment these days. :-)\nI believe that the traditional second anniversary gift is supposed to be cotton, although there is a revised anniversary gift chart that lists gemstones as the gift for almost every year.  This list must have been made by a woman. Lol.\nWhile all of the responses here sound absolutely fantastic, I think that most couples who are in love appreciate something personalized as a loving momento of the occasion.   A personalized gift can be cherished for many years to come.  \nMy thoughts are maybe an inscribed watch for a man and maybe a personalized anniversary throw for a woman.  My husband gave me a personalized throw for our second anniversary and I adore it.  Best of luck to you and your Honey!  (There is a link below to a site that makes personalized gifts for any occasion.)

oohhh what a sweet guy or girl you are. well, how old is your mom then?gift doesnt really matter, presence does. greeting her would be enough. but if you really wanted to give her a gift, look for a photo of her during her pregnancy of you and laminate it or put it on a frame.it will melt her heart out.

I'm a 21 year old male so let me try to help you out.\n\nFirst off the 20's is a broad range, if I'm 29 I'm going to want something different than when I was 21.  Also, depends on who the gift is for.  If my girlfriend gets me a shower curtain I'm going to say, wtf?  If my mom did, well hey, she understands that I'm 21 and I need stuff for my place.\n\nThat brings me to this...  I'm 21 and I just started living on my own in the last 2 years or so.  I'm still building my little "empire" or apartment if you will with lots of goodies and so forth.  Maybe some DVDs or even that shower curtain if you their his bathroom could use a facelift.  \n\nI'll be commissioning in the Army in May so my dad is buying me my first pair of ACUs while my mom said she is leaning more toward something that will benefit me in life...  Ummm maybe that George Foreman Grill I've been wanting?  lol\n\nHopefully that shed some light for you.  Answer your question?  Leave some credit!  :-)

Yes you do have to get a present.  And flowers and dinner are ok, but do something different, creative, and something that says, "I know you and i know what you like."

When Mama and Daddy celebrated their Silver Anniversary, my brother and I got them different gifts but we each got them something. He and my sis-in-law bought them a silver tea service with the date of their silver anniversary engraved on the tray. I bought them a silver tray that Mama used very much over the years.

Be happy that they remembered your birthday. Don´t feel spoiled, sometimes parents don´t understand the hints we give them for birthday presents :-)

Depends on how big the gift is. \n\nNo set rules but it's more special if you can add some sentiment, "Friends always-Pandora" or "Engraved in my heart-P" "Your friend-etc."

Well, I say if this is your first christmas together, you should get him something that only the two of you would understand!!! for ex. when my husband and I first met, my hubby called me Jingle, cause I always would sing Jingles from commercials.  He bought me a bell for christmas, it was engraved, and a very insightful gift, personal and it showed me that he had put some thought into it.

my fave gift is not a toy.When i was 7 my parents got my sisters and i a kitten for christmas. we played with him the whole night and loved him ever since. since then christmas has been so special because we remember the time when we got him in 1990. this past may he passed away, at age 16. this will be the first christmas without him and we will miss him dearly but we will always remember him. as each christmas passes try not to get caught up in the present. take time to remember the special memories you had as a child.  each christmas has been special with him and it always will even though he wont be here in body. but he will remain in spirit. \nMerry Christmas everyone!

Choose gifts that last for a long period of time, are personalized or celebrate the fact you are now committed.  Gifts should look to the long-term, be personalized and have an air of romance or permanence.\n\nWhat about a "diamond Key to My Heart necklace" Cost only a couple of hundred.\n\nI know you had a lot of bike information but, treat her more as girl, then as her riding partner.\n\n4 years, maybe an engagement ring

Monthly anniversaries are easy any little trinket will do, as in a key chain with your initial or a reminder of the place where you met, Six month anniversaries can be a weekend get away at your local hotel, with room-service, if not a romantic dinner and dancing on the town is nice One year anniversaries are super easy this one is paper, as in tickets to a play or plane tickets to Jamaica, or tickets to a concert. The best present you can give a loved one is priceless......Yourself

I think it would be cool to get him something that he can remember you by like maybe getting a personalized gift at the store Things Remembered.\nThere is always the Gift Card option too that way you know he will be getting something he wants or can use.

Ask your brother what they are like, what they like, what they collect, etc. I think one of those little angel pins, a plant, or chocolate, are good gifts if you decide that you must give a gift. If my son's daughter had brought me a gift the first time she met me, I would've thought she was trying to buy my acceptance. As it was she came empty-handed but her personality and her love for my son were gift enough. Now she gives me things all the time. It's a sweet idea though.
