9 Year Anniversary Gift Ideas

Flowers are a popular anniversary gift.


The traditional gift of the ninth wedding anniversary is pottery or china. In recent years modern gifts have taken over in many cultures as couples seek to be different and alter the old traditions for more current concepts. Thus the modern gift for the ninth anniversary is leather. Choose a gift based on your own style as well as your decision as to what gift giving guide you'd like to follow (traditional or modern).


China


China is a traditional gift for the ninth anniversary. Add more pieces to your original wedding china set. Or create a china plate with your names and wedding date on it to set on a mantel for display.


Pottery Class


Take a pottery class together and recreate the famous love scene from the movie Ghost. Play with clay and spin away, creating whatever your hearts desire. When the pot or other creation is done let it dry and harden so you can spend time painting it together as well.


Fine Ornaments


If your anniversary is near the holiday season give your lover a new ornament for the tree. Choose a china ornament and have it customized with a special message for that special someone. Also include the date so in the future you'll be able to remember when it was first given.


Briefcase or Purse


Give him a leather briefcase for work or a leather purse for her. Leather bags are sturdy and have a long life so long as you don't beat them up. Have his initials carved into the bag or add a leather wallet inside the bag for her.


Poppies


Flowers are the standby anniversary gift. The ninth anniversary flower is the poppy. Put together a bouquet of poppies in your significant other's favorite color. Poppies look striking all on their own and don't need extra filler flowers.
