Okay, next weekend my husband and I will celebrate 6 years of wedded bliss.
We've been doing the traditional gifts (sometimes with creatives spins, as the year we got bikes for each other in the colors of Orange and Grape to cover "fruits and vegetables")
Year 6 is "Iron", and I'm stumped. I thought to get him a doorstop or figurine in the shape of a wolf (his collection) or a cat (OUR collection), but I can't find one that doesn't look totally lame or that isn't out of my budget (absolutely no more than $100 after tax, shipping, etc).
Any suggestions? Please, be creative! I'd get him an Iron Maiden cd if we didn't already have most of their stuff, for example! Iron can be in the title, it can be what it's made of...I just want to get/do something creative and fun, not something he'd expect!
Outdoor Patio Bench
from FurnitureCentral.com ($69.99) This patio bench is made of wrought iron in a sandy rustic look. Its sophisticated pattern of vines and maple leaves, and the curvy legs make it a great patio furniture piece for your home.

The only problem is that we are in an apartment still...we don't have a grill! When you have to be 30' away (which, for us, is across the street in the park) from an apartment building to use one in most cities, it just hasn't seemed worth it to get one!
Same thing with like hooks or door knockers...we don't have a house to put them on. And while we could store it for when we DO have a house, well...storage in an apartment is at a premium.
For the first time, I wish my husband golfed! I could get him a 9 iron or something!
Good luck in finding something, and btw, I think it's really cute that you guys put your own spin on the traditional gifts. I think that makes it a lot more personal and significant. Plus it shows you put a lot of thought into the gift. Great little tradition!
