You’ve arrived at the six-year anniversary mark. And what a whirlwind it has been! You’ve grown from the newlywed stage and are now an established couple facing life’s ups and downs together as a united front.

Traditional 6-Year Anniversary Gifts

It’s no wonder that the sixth year is celebrated with the traditional gift of iron. This strong metal represents an unbreakable bond forged through the fires of love and admiration. In terms of gift-giving, the iron theme can be taken literally with gifts made of iron or figuratively with iron-esque things like a waffle or curling iron.

Modern 6-Year Anniversary Gifts

If tradition isn’t your thing, you can go with the modern interpretation, which is wood. Wood also symbolizes a marriage’s strength along with the deep roots you are forming together as a family. This gives you more room for gift-giving possibilities. Think of anything from paperweights to ukuleles. There’s a lot of room for creativity. Candy is also a modern interpretation for the six-year anniversary, celebrating the sweetness and passion in a marriage. And, honestly, candy is a great gift all year round.

Other Gifts Associated With 6-Year Anniversaries

Each anniversary also has its own color, flower and gemstone. The six-year anniversary is marked by purple, calla lilies and amethysts. So, what does this all mean?
