9th anniversary gifts and ideas for spouses
- Pack a willow wicker picnic basket with all of their favorite things and surprise them with lunch or dinner in the park.
- Plant a pot of pussy willows for the porch or patio.
- Take a pottery class together. It can be very affordable when done through a local learning annex.
- Get a leather keyring monogrammed with their initials.
Splurge
- Assemble a small, custom-made wicker gift basket with a favorite hobby (such as fishing, knitting or reading) as a theme.
- Buy willow wicker furniture for the porch or patio—a perfect spot for enjoying snacks and drinks at sunset.
- Visit a local artisan and buy a large statement pottery piece for a corner of your living room or den.
- Plant a willow tree in your yard.
- If there ever was one, this is the moment for matching leather jackets. Biker, bomber, aviator…so many choices.
What to write
What to write in a 9th anniversary card
- “We’ve been through so much, and yet, nine years has gone by in the blink of an eye.”
- “Nine years of making me laugh…nine years of wiping my tears…nine years of finding the beauty in every day together.”
- “You’re still the incredible person I feel in love with…and somehow, so much more.”
What to write about in a 9th anniversary letter
- Nine things you see when you look in their eyes
- Nine ways they make you weak in the knees
- Nine things they do that make you crack up, every time
How to celebrate
- Make a playlist of your favorite home movies from over the years and watch them on the big screen.
- Create your own crossword puzzle for your partner. Make each clue about a memory only you two would remember.
- Take a basket weaving class together. No need to make it underwater.
More ideas for anniversaries
