Your Complete Guide to the 6th Wedding Anniversary

Coming on the heels of the landmark fifth year anniversary, the sixth wedding anniversary faces a tall challenge. To outdo the hype of the fifth in terms of attitude, celebration and, of course, gifts. Naturally, it helps enormously to know that a great deal more than five decades ago, a handy list of classic wedding anniversary gifts (to which the modern alternatives had been added at a later date) had been drawn up.


So, let's see what we have for the 6th wedding anniversary.


Here's a bird's eye view of what this year entails:




  • Conventional Gift: Sugar and Iron
  • Modern/ modern Gift: Wood
  • Flower: Calla Lily
  • Gemstone: Garnet and Amethyst


When you have such a road map at your disposal, the way to bliss should not be too hard to navigate!


If, you want to stick to the regular gifts, then a theme of sugar and iron is what you need to explore. Sugar symbolises sweetness (undoubtedly!) and iron stands for durability and the ability to withstand wear and tear. As a gift, sugar translates into chocolates, candies, sweets and their ilk. Make the gift private for better impact.


You can location an order at the confectioner's for a custom-developed slab of chocolate and have them engrave your individual message for her on it. Or, make a gourmet hamper for her, filled with the choicest and expensive Belgian, French and handmade chocolates. She'll adore you for it.


Iron is the second regular gift. Does she really like carrying out up your pad? How about wall brackets or tinkling feng shui bells produced of handmade cast iron? Or, if you are lucky to own a garden, then get her some trendy wrought-iron garden furniture. Iron candle stands or even quaint iron bowls make terrific gifts.


Wood is the contemporary alternative as far as gifts for the 6th year are concerned. Wood symbolises solidness, dependability and strength. If she loves reading and has masses of books, make her a lovely book case, developed by you. If you have a knack for carpentry, go all out and carve her one thing out of wood. You could even give her a fabulous bonsai plant - the iconic symbol of everlasting love (and a long-lasting marriage).


As far as jewellery gifts for this year go, you have not one, but two distinctive gemstones - garnet and amethyst. Like all gemstones, garnet also has specific powers connected with it. Garnet symbolises purity and truth, appreciate and compassion. Amethyst is a lovely crystalline quartz in arresting shades of purple, lilac or mauve. The amethyst supposed to be the gemstone of superior luck and really like. Shower the enjoy of your life with some gorgeous garnet and amethyst jewellery. Jewellery generally tops the list of women's gifts considering that it is such an intimate present consistently worn close to the skin.


Ditch the long-stemmed roses this year. Go for Calla Lily, the flower you require to give her for the sixth year. Calla Lily is gorgeous seeking flower. Thanks to its graceful trumpet-shaped white blooms, it has been hailed as the symbol of eternal femininity and purity.


As soon as you have got the basics ideal, the rest is all up to your imagination. Make the 6th year as romantic for her as doable. Give her all of these gifts, or a combination of them. Either way, you'd be bang on target!
