Every year we celebrate our wedding anniversary by buying each other something that represents the anniversary. The 6th Wedding year anniversary gifts are Iron and Sugar (depending on whether you go with traditional gift or modern lists)
6th anniversary gift
So 6 years ago we said ‘I do’ and this makes it our ‘Sugar’ anniversary so what does he buy me….. cake! But not any old cake .. he got these beautiful cakes with our wedding day photos printed on them which is the perfect gift for those with a sweet tooth like me.
We do switch between the tradational and modern gifts because some of them just do not fit in with us.
5th anniversary
I also wanted to share our 5 year wedding anniversary gifts too, Gaz went with the modern gift of wood – I always like to think I have the better gift ideas but Gaz 100% won last year with these beautiful tealight holders.
You can get them on Etsy and I think they are a really lovely reminder of your special day.
I think its really important to celebrate your wedding date with a meaningful gift every year. You don’t have to spend a fortune but if you do want to splash out on a more elaborate gift why not opt for a special gift based on the traditional gemstone on the anniversary year?
The sixth wedding anniversary gemstone for example is Amethyst – Gaz did miss a trick here because this is also my birthstone.
Or you can go international and go with the American gift options which is iron anniversary gifts.
Happy 6th anniversary – I’m looking forward to many more anniversaries with you.
