Take your sweetheart to a candy factory for a fun tour and to shop for candies.
The traditional gifts for a sixth wedding anniversary are candy and iron. There are a lot of options within these two traditional gift categories that both men and women like. While iron sounds like an odd gift to give, many furniture pieces, appliances and various house wares contain the material. Couples can also choose to give items made out of wood, the modern gift for a sixth anniversary, or create a keepsake that documents the first six years of married life.
Candy
There is a wide variety of candy available for people with different tastes. The word "candy" is derived from the Arabic word "qandi," which means food made from sugar. Candy options include chocolates, jelly beans, salty licorice, sugared fruit, peanut brittle and caramels. Gift sets containing several types of candy are good for those who are unsure of the recipient's preferences. For something more active, go on a trip to a candy factory that provides tours and samples.
Iron
Iron is an abundant metal that is flexible yet strong. Cast iron forms when iron mixes with other elements such as carbon, nickel and chromium. For someone who loves to cook, cast iron pots, pans and skillets are durable, distribute heat well and are affordable. Griddles and teapots are also made out of cast iron. Besides cookware, decorative household items such as candle holders, statutes and wine racks can be made from iron. Wrought iron, formed when iron is melted with a smaller percentage of carbon than is used to form cast iron, is a popular accent for patio furniture.
Wood
Wood is the modern gift for a sixth anniversary. Wood items are so prevalent that you can easily purchase a wooden item that fits with your partner's hobbies and interests. If your partner likes to cook and entertain, there are wooden salad bowls, serving utensils and cheese boards. For fashionistas of both genders, there are shoes, jewelry and accessories made with wood. Consider sports equipment, such as golf sets, baseball bats and fishing rods, made out of wood. There is also the option of giving a pretty plant or planting a tree together.
Memories Keepsake
Another option is to create something that documents the first six years of your life together. It can be a scrapbook or photo album filled with photos and mementos, with pages dedicated to each year. Make a slideshow with photos over the six years and set it to some of your favorite songs. Add to the romance by playing it over a homemade dinner. If you have documented important events and vacations on video over the years, create a movie summarizing the six years and end it by saying how you are looking forward to more years together.
