6th Wedding Anniversary

The traditional materials for your sixth anniversary are candy and iron. If you are looking for an elegant idea that incorporates the candy theme while also handily including the alternate modern material wood, then these gourmet chocolates in wood boxes with personalized engraved messages would be a perfect idea.

One idea that combines both traditional materials is to arrange a gourmet assortment of your husband's or wife's favorite candies in a decorative iron bowl (or one that looks like it could be iron), perhaps with a red rose and love note sticking out the top. Have it on the kitchen table or counter in the morning so that it is a special morning surprise.

The iron anniversary is a good opportunity to acquire items for the home like an iron skillet, trivet, plant stand, iron sculpture, decorative mirror, serving bowl, or other home decor. If either of you play golf, perhaps an iron golf club or sports store gift certificate would be a welcome gift. Men might also like other sports equipment - think "pumping iron".

For women, an elegant iron sculpture of a couple in an embrace would be a lovely reminder of your 6th anniversary. Also consider artisan iron jewelry or regular jewelry using materials that look similar in coloring to iron, such as black tahitian pearls.

From our Visitors

I am not sure if it is iron or not, but my husband and I decided to buy an exercise machine to stay in shape.
