Nine years is a huge achievement and something to celebrate for any marriage, it’s almost a decade since your wedding day and buying a 9th year wedding anniversary gift to mark the occasion should be number one on your priority list.
Finding a personal, thoughtful and lovely present doesn’t have to be difficult. As wedding anniversary gifts are associated with different things for each year, the 9th year wedding anniversary gift is both Willow or Pottery so there are lots of things you could buy.
There are some wonderful gift ideas made of willow, some impressive summer furniture can be found made of willow as can many picnic and laundry baskets, although its always best to avoid work type items such as laundry baskets unless of course it’s a joint choice.
If traditional gifts aren’t your preferred choice, then leather is the modern version of what is given for a 9th wedding anniversary. Leather is also strong and durable, just as the last nine years of your marriage have shown your love for each other is. Being available in a myriad of different forms, you’ll definitely be able to find something to suit either partner.
If your wife loves to receive flowers, the type that is associated with the 9th wedding anniversary is poppies. Different colours that are bright and vibrant, as well as rich allow poppies to make a huge difference to a room or a garden. They are strong and beautiful, just like your love for your wife or husband is, and are the ideal way of showing your true love for each other.
If you prefer gemstones, then the types that are associated with the 9th year wedding anniversary include Lapis Lazuli and Tiger’s Eye. Both aren’t as commonly known but both are just as beautiful as each other. Tiger’s Eye is a member of the quartz group of metamorphic rock, and has a stunning brown, orange and red colour to it. It’s perfect for jewellery or even just as an ornament itself. Lapis Lazuli is a little different, mainly due to its formation in Siberia and its shocking blue colour that comes with it. It’s a rare stone, similar to your love for your wife or husband, and is mesmerising to look at.
