These 6th Anniversary Gifts Prove 6 Years is Something to Celebrate

If you’re celebrating six years of marriage, you’ve sailed past your first big milestone anniversary (five years), so congrats! You’re hopefully still going strong and looking forward to rounding out your first decade as a married couple. Now, it’s time to start looking around for a six-year anniversary gift that speaks to your union. Or maybe you’re looking for a gift for a special couple. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. Our guide of sixth anniversary gifts is here to help. 

What is the Traditional Six-Year Anniversary Gift?

Iron. It’s strong and solid, just like the couple who makes it to six years of marriage. So it’s easy to see why the traditional six-year anniversary gift is iron. And the good news is, there are lots of lovely iron anniversary gifts to choose from. Or, maybe something a little sweeter would tickle your fancy? Candy is another commonly gifted item for six years of wedded bliss, and who doesn’t love candy?

If you consider yourself a more modern gifter, you’ve got an easy job if you’re looking for a sixth anniversary gift, since wood is the modern gift this year. Other symbols associated with six years of marriage are calla lilies-beautiful, dramatic blooms that you may have even used at your wedding, and the amethyst, which is a pretty purple stone. In keeping with that, purple is one of the sixth anniversary colors, along with turquoise and white.
