Gift Ideas for a Sixth Wedding Anniversary
Your anniversary is a yearly reminder of your initial courtship, and six years of marriage is something to celebrate so why not get your partner something out of the ordinary this year. After being together for six years you have established a deeper love and commitment to each other. The amount of money you spend on a gift is not what's important. Homemade gifts and small simple jewelry items are just as meaningful.

Scrapbook
-
A scrapbook featuring six years of marriage is a thoughtful gift for your spouse. Plan in advance if you decide to make a scrapbook because this project takes some time. Gather photos of you and your spouse over the last six years. If you have children, include photos of them as well. Choose plain or patterned card stock and feature one to three photos on each page. Card stock is the background of your page. You can find wedding bells, hearts and other types of patterns at the craft store. Glue pressed flowers and other embellishments such as charms to dress up the pages.
Start your book with the oldest pictures first and progress forward in the book until you reach current photos of you and your spouse. If you have pictures of your child's birth, include photos of you and your spouse holding your baby after the birth. If you saved your baby's hospital bracelet, glue that on the page as well.
Birthstone Ring
-
Order a custom birthstone ring for your six-year wedding anniversary. Choose a channel set style that includes the birthstones of you and your spouse. If you have children, include their birthstones as well. This gift is ideal for a woman who loves jewels with details, and a birthstone ring is a colorful addition to her collection. Another idea is to give her a ring with six stones to represent six years of marriage.

Custom Painting
-
Hire an artist to paint a custom picture of you and your spouse on your wedding day. Select a photo of the two of you from your wedding album. However, if you have the ability to paint, do the work yourself at home. This is a meaningful gift that you and your spouse can give to your children later on.
