    2nd Anniversary – Cotton<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. We’re huge fans of Irish blogger Catherine Carton of Dainty Dress Diaries. Her handmade and totally adorable teddies and cushions make the perfect gift. Each item comes with a personalized message, and you could even use a sentimental item of clothing such as the groom’s wedding day shirt. The order book is currently closed at\u00a0Designs By Dainty<\/a>, due to huge demand. So watch this space over the coming months if you know someone with a special anniversary in the pipeline. If you’re lucky orders may be open again!<\/li>\n
    2. A personalized cushion is ideal for a cuddle on the sofa. Available from Not On The High Street<\/a>, \u00a330.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
