6th Anniversary Gifts (iron)

Iron or candy are traditional 6th wedding anniversary gifts. What makes these special gifts for a sixth anniversary?

Iron is in keeping with the other metals in the traditional wedding anniversary gift list. The 6th year is the earliest anniversary that a metal appears in. Iron is known for its durability and usefulness, though less frequently for its beauty. However, the black coloring of iron is both simple and strong.

Buying a useful iron pot for a 6th anniversary may have worked 50 years ago, but it might be more of a stretch today. Luckily, iron can be cast in many striking shapes beyond the purely functional. Possibly a traditional Japanese cast iron teapot might be the right combination of use and beauty. Or perhaps the traditional material of iron, cast in the shape of a very contemporary vase.

Candy may not be long lasting, but there is sweetness behind it. And perhaps that’s enough of a reason… Chocolate may not last long, but it’s hard not to like.

The Modern Anniversary Gift List suggests annother possibility for a sixth wedding anniversary... wood. Natural, practical, and beautiful, it can be formed into intricate designs or simply enjoyed in it's natural state.
