  In the United States, most couples honor their years of marriage by exchanging gifts. On the sixth anniversary, gifts made of iron or candy are traditional. An alternate and modern sixth anniversary gift is wood. From small, sweet treats to furniture for the home, all sixth anniversary gifts should be given out of love with an accompanying card that celebrates the couple's marriage vows.
  
  

For Him

• A new set of golf clubs, or "irons" is an option for golfing husbands. This anniversary gift is thoughtful and encourages relaxation and exercise. Just be sure to place the gift in a golf cart that only seats two and is headed to the golf course's clubhouse for a romantic dinner.
  
  Have a cookie and candy bouquet delivered to him at work. Forgo the love-inspired roses and hearts options, so he won't be terribly embarrassed. Choose neutral hobbies that he enjoys, such as sports or cars, and have the cookies and candy in the bouquet represent those themes.
  
  

For Her

• Have a solid wooden jewelry box engraved with a special poem or the wedding date. Choose a box that matches the bedroom furniture, so the box can be placed atop a chest of drawers or dressing table. For an added sweet touch, fill the jewelry box with hand-dipped chocolates or a favorite candy.
  
  Purchase an ornate iron flower vase and fill it with her favorite fresh-cut flowers. Choose a vase with hearts, an intertwined couple or a special theme that was used for the wedding. Have the base of the vase engraved with a personalized inscription.
  
  

For Family

• Parents of the wedded couple may choose to celebrate their children's sixth wedding anniversary by giving a gift the couple can enjoy together. A hand-carved wooden mantle is a beautiful custom addition to a fireplace. A set of iron fireplace tools would also be an appropriate sixth anniversary wedding gift.
  
  Consider presenting homeowners with a tree that can be planted in their yard. The anniversary couple can watch it grow and mature through the years as their young marriage blossoms.
  
  A wrought iron arch with a similar pattern to an arch used in the anniversary couple's wedding ceremony can be placed in the couple's garden, or at the entrance to a sidewalk leading to their front door. Parents can help the couple plant vining flowers, such as morning glories or clematis, at the base of the arch.
