What is the traditional 6 year anniversary gift

If you and your partner have made it to the six-year milestone (and I’m assuming you have, since you’re shopping for six-year anniversary gifts... but if you haven't, check out this list of anniversary gifts for any year), first off: Congrats, bb!! You’re well past the honeymoon phase, still doing the damn thing, and dodging life’s bullshit as a team. Your relationship is ironclad, and—much like that metal under high temperatures—your bond's gotten stronger in high-pressure situations. Thus, the ~theme~ of a six-year anniversary is iron.

So, let's get the obvious out of the way: Lol, that sounds rlly tough. A creative, special, interesting gift...made of iron?? But there are a lot more options than you'd think—and we found the cutest ones on the market, so you can relax a little. Another thing—there's also the "modern" sixth anniversary (wood objects), alternative traditional gift (candy), color (purple, white, or turquoise), gemstone (amethyst), and flower (calla lily), which would maybe be way easier to achieve.

Below, we've rounded up all kinds of cute and personalized iron items that'll put a smile on your partner's face. From sentimental keepsakes (like a handmade iron bottle opener and cuff links) to useful gifts that fit the theme (like a chic wall shelf and metal planters), there's gonna be something that makes sense for your S.O. Also, we put a few alternate-themed gifts on here in case they fit better.
