    Is supposed to be iron or candy.

    Trying to find an iron made gift but most stuff online is from the US and the postage is horrendous.

    Any ideas for an Irish made gift perhaps?

    It's supposed to be whatever you want to give and/or believe your wife wants.

    Only if he (?) doesn't want a seventh anniversary :D

    OP, no one ever pays much heed to those gift things, outside the big ones (e.g. 40th anniversary). Unless you've made an effort to do it all the other years and intend to do so for the rest of them just get whatever you want.

    Obviously everyone is different but I always prefer a night away or a dinner to a physical gift.

    It would obviously depend on her sense of humour. I'd think it was hilarious ( might get one for my hubby next year actually! )

    I remember for my 6th anniversary my husband was going to get me a very fancy iron that I'd been eyeing up for a while, but then he thought it might not have been the most romantic (in fairness, I'd have been happy with it!) so he did a bit of googling and discovered that the modern version of the 6th anniversary is wood (there's a boner joke to be made here somewhere). My husband got me a necklace with a carved wooden pendant on it.

    Or if she wears a Pandora bracelet get her a charm that looks like an iron

    We had our 6th anniversary this year, hubby got this https://www.kilkennyshop.com/wild-goose-clann-family.html, you can also get this one https://www.kilkennyshop.com/wild-goose-gra-love.html
    was very impressed, it's beautiful. Other options are cast iron photo frames. I got him a very funky cast iron bottle opener.

    TK Maxx can be good for stuff like that.
