I try to buy a traditional wedding anniversary present every year but this one has got me thinking and I'm not coming up with much.
Mrs WW doesn't like sweet things so chocolate and the like is out, she will eat some dark chocolate but she has some of that in already. I did think of a chair made of sugar cane as I know she wants a chair for the bedroom and I'm Googling and looking and wading through the avalanche of mostly nothing to do with it stuff that Google has found.
Last year was wood and I got her a picture of her and her last dog printed on wood and she was happy with that but apart from a hard to find chair I'm struggling this year.
So, while I'm looking for a chair...
Any other ideas?

I think iron is the regular 6th year gift? According to Tinternet it is but in the American system. Ours is apparently Sugar. The only thing I can think of at the mo is a chair but I'm having to wade through to find one. The first things I spotted were some beauty products, a water bottle and a writing pad. There doesn't seem to be too much made out of sugar cane. There are a lot of one use fast food containers and plates, they're not too appropriate though  |

What's wrong with a box of sugar cubes?
Or how about an old AMSTRAD computer?

First hit on Google UK threw up this; UK and US anniversary materials seem to be the same right through til the 50th anniversary, but the modern US version has some rather bizarre 'gift' options; Desk sets, for the 7th for example. Fountain pen and propelling pencil set it is then! |

I think she'd hit me with it. Great lateral thinking though |

When she passed an exam I got here a hand made pen and pencil set with both the British and Thai flags on it and the Thai royal emblem, so she's got that now. |

I must admit, when I ask my wife if she’d like a little sugar, she runs a mile.

As a vaguely sensible suggestion, how about some sugarcraft flowers, keep indefinitely
Images are our wedding cake made by Mrs M senior, all flowers are sugar work.

That's a great idea Bryan! So, it's a chair or these flowers... or it could be a toss up between those and the bukkake. |

It is just a shame that she only sees the faults in her work, seeking perfection, when they look amazing to everyone else. She is a hard woman to give a compliment to!😀
