Straw Gifts

For the second wedding anniversary, the traditional gift is straw. In ancient times, straw was a symbol of fertility and prosperity.

The origin of the tradition comes from an old English custom. People would plant a special crop on their property called “the second crop” or “the second year’s seed.” This crop was planted in the first month of spring and harvested in the fall after two years had passed. The crop was then used as a gift on the couple’s second anniversary.

In modern times, you can give your spouse a bouquet of wildflowers or grow your own garden to commemorate this special year together.

Straw baskets, straw hats, straw bags, straw beach bags, and straw tote bags are all popular gift items. Strawberries are a great gift item! They are a delicious and healthy treat that can be enjoyed as a snack or used as a topping for a variety of dishes. You can find them fresh or frozen depending on the season. You could also give baskets of strawberries or strawberry preserves as a gift.
