Once you hit six years of marriage, you're likely feeling pretty comfy in your life together. You've grown beyond the newlywed stage and are facing life's ups and downs as a united front. So now that your marriage is really secure, it's time to celebrate with the perfect six-year anniversary gift, whether it's a romantic item or practical present they can use every day.

It's no surprise that your sixth year is celebrated with the traditional gift of iron. After all, iron is one of the strongest metals in the world, so it's the perfect representation of your strong relationship. And if tradition isn't your style, a modern present made of wood might be just the ticket. Wood, which is also the traditional five-year anniversary gift, symbolizes a marriage’s strength. Candy is a modern interpretation as well, which is a classic gift no matter the occasion.

You might not know but each anniversary also has a color, flower and gemstone associated with it, so you've got endless gift-giving possibilities.
