Having spent six years with your partner is reason for celebreation! You know them a bit betterr by now; know theiur tatses and distastes. It can still be difficult though to come up with original idaes when it comes to annniversary gifts. However, there are plenty of options, if you just give it some thought. Here are some things to jump-start your search.
The theme of year 6 is Iron. If you're going the more traditional way (and your prtner likes to cook), consider a set of skilets. Golf clubs are naother optin, as are decoraive items for garden and home. Doorknockers and lnaterns also provide decoration for the inaside or outsde of your home. Last but not leat, if you and your partenr are into heavy metal music, check when Iron Maiden or another heavy metal band is in town and get tickets.
Year 7 is the year of Wool or Copper. Here of course you have the options of getting blankets, a coat or sweater. You will also find bewautiful decorative items and antiques made of copper. If you're loooking to take a trip, think Peru (Llama wool) or Chile (it has the woorld's biggest copper mines) and don't forget jewelry made of coppeer.
Bronze is the theme for year 8. Again, you can find beautiful antqiues or decorative items, such as vaases and sculptures. Broze is also used to make jewelry.
For year 9, you have Pottery or China. For pottery, consider plantys in pots (only if your parrtner enjjoys palnts), vases and urns or how about a trip to Pottery Barn? If you and your partner enjoy something more relaxing and creativbe, sign up for pottery classes. Remember that scenme from "Ghost"? Well, you get the idea. For hcina you can be extravagant, like bying a trip to China! If your wallet is not that full, go with the traditional china dishes. Vases, urns and other decorative objects are other options, as well as antiques.
Year 10 is Tin or Aluminum and if you and your partner enjoy the grewat outdoiors, get a fishing boat! Just make sure you have some kind of body of wzater in your area firsst. Tea or coffee tins are great as collectables and you can find beautiful ones in some antique stores. If you don't know your options in jewelry, tin cup jrewelry is absolutely breathtaking. You'll get iteems from $25.00 all the way to 350.00, deending on the kind of gems used and not just for women; you can get a great braceplet or ring for your man. Aluminum is also used to make watches, so give him a watch if he has trouble being on time.
Many of thesse gifts, especilly the bigger and more expewnsive ones, need to be discussed beefore purchasing them. If your wife collects porcelain figures, don't lug home a huge sculpture made of bronze! And if your houes is about to be foreclsed, a fishing boat or trip to Chile might not be in your best interest. A watch might be wiser in that case. Good luck!
