Too cute.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently celebrated their second wedding anniversary – and exchanged “creative” and “romantic” gifts to mark the occasion.

The couple, who are currently in Los Angeles with their son Archie, tied the knot on May 19, 2018.

And an insider told PEOPLE how the pair “love to do their own take on traditional wedding gifts”.

“The first anniversary was paper, and Meghan wrote out the wedding speech and had it framed for him,” the source said.

“This year, they both gave each other gifts based on ‘cotton.’ Undoubtedly, it was a very creative and romantic gesture as all their gifts are to one another.”

Cotton is the traditional gift for second wedding anniversaries as “it is made from lots of thread woven together and the longer you are married the more your life becomes intertwined,” according to Hitched,

It’s not the only milestone that the couple celebrated this month.

Their son, Archie, celebrated his first birthday on May 6 with a “smash cake” and plenty of time with his family (both in person and over Zoom).

“They are celebrating as a family focused on Archie and being together,” a source told PEOPLE earlier this month. “They’ll have a smash cake and Zooms with family and friends. It’s been beautiful weather, so perhaps a family stroll with the dogs.”
