Iron Gift Ideas for Her to Celebrate Your Sixth Year Anniversary

When big events happen in people’s lives, anniversaries serve the purpose of remembering that day in subsequent years, and there have been many traditions throughout the years people have picked up on to signify the special day in unique ways. 

And for wedding anniversaries there happens to be a long-standing tradition that’s been traced back to the Vicotrian era where for each anniversary you would get your partner “themed” gifts that show off the strength of you two passing another milestone together. For the first year it’s cotton, the second is paper, third is leather, fourth is fruits and flowers, fifth is wood, and sixth is iron which is what we’re here to talk about today! We’ve got some iron gift ideas for her that she will definitely love.

But before we get into the ironworks, let’s first talk about GiftYa, the online marketplace for digital gift cards to thousands of restaurants, famous retailers, local businesses, online stores and subscription services, spas, hotels, airlines, and more. This is a gift you can give not only on special occasions but it works for any time of the year as you can email or text it to someone as a delightfully fun surprise.

Cast Iron Pizza Pan

• Who doesn’t love pizza? The ooey-gooey cheese, crusty-chewy bread, and delicious toppings like meats and veggies? There’s a reason why it’s named one of the best foods by many, so what better than to give the gift of many delicious pizzas in the future with a cast iron pizza pan. Especially the Lodge 14” Cast Iron Pizza Pan from Target online for $39.99. Pop your uncooked pizza in the oven on this bad boy and you’ll get the perfect combo of crispy and chewy. 

Hand-Made Iron Flower(s)

Flowers are their own tradition, you get flowers for a number of different occasions and anniversaries are a common one. But the keep up for flowers can get stressful, so what about getting your partner an immortalized flower in iron?

Iron Ring Dish

If you have a partner that is big into jewelry and it tends to overflow everywhere then she will definitely love an iron ring dish she can use to store her “everyday” rings. That way she can easily find them and pop them on for the day before returning them to the dish at bed. There are many dishes out there from artists, here’s are ones we thought you might like:

Fondue? We Sure Do!

But that changes today as we’re introducing this Red Cast Iron Fondue Set from Crate&Barrel for $39.95 which is a great set-up for a romantic night in. Think chocolate covered strawberries, pretzels, and all the cheese you could want.

It’s a hand-forged piece made from iron and stainless steel that also has an optional earring set for $63.00 if you want to add to this gift.

Iron Bottle Opener (and Wine)

• A special occasion calls for a nice drink to pop open like wine, champagne, or sparkling cider and what better than to do a combo gift with this 6th Anniversary Forged Bottle Opener on Etsy by BorsDesignCo retailing at $28.99+. You can add an engraving onto the bottle opener like your anniversary date or your names.
