Who makes up these anniversary gift categories?

People must have been poor back in the day.  The first anniversary gift is paper?  Well, money is technically paper, but give your lady cash and you may not have too many more anniversaries.  She probably already has all your money anyway, am I right?  (Silence)  Moving along.

Well, today is my second anniversary so I got cotton (and gave cotton).  I don’t know about my wife, but I found my options rather limited.  We got each other a few things, but for cotton I got my wife some pillowcases that cost about $10,000 (I tossed the receipt, that’s what they cost and you can’t prove otherwise) and I got this.

My wife thinks Captain Abearica is an awful name (it’s genius), but thanks to Build A Bear giving birth certificates, his name is “Daddy is our Superhero.”  Apparently, my family has low standards for a superheroes, but I’ll take it.  Actually, my daughter took it, she is in the phase of grab everything that’s not bolted to the wall or floor, carry it a foot or two and chuck it over your shoulder.  I don’t know what the third anniversary is, but probably something like bellybutton lint, I’m guessing.  My wife is really going to be spoiled next year!
