Traditional 6th Year Anniversary Gifts
TThe traditional 6th anniversary gift is Iron or Candy. It’s hard to guess why candy is one of the items associated with a 6th anniversary, outside of the idea of sweetness. But maybe that’s enough of a reason… Chocolate may be common, but it’s hard not to like! Iron seems more in keeping with the other items of a traditional wedding anniversary gift list. It follows the continuum of durability. The sixth 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 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. Heck, it may have been a stretch 50 years ago… Luckily, iron can be cast in many striking shapes beyond the purely functional. Possibly a contemporary cast iron vase might be the right combination of use and beauty.
