6th anniversary gifts and ideas for spouses
- Use gummy candy letters to spell out a romantic message on a plate or tray—better yet, a cake or pie.
- Make or buy your “Sugar” a few kinds of candy they’ve never tried before, like Turkish delight, salted caramels, French creams or marzipan. In an anniversary card, write that every year together is a sweet new adventure
Splurge
- Give a box of high-end gourmet chocolates, and replace one of the chocolates with a surprise, like a piece of jewelry, a folded $50 or $100 bill or a love note.
- Pick our a wrought-iron patio set or garden bench.
What to write
What to write in a 6th anniversary card

- “Our life together has a rhythm and flow that feels constant and comforting…without ever getting dull. I love the music we make together.”

How to celebrate
