6-Year Anniversary: Iron
You might notice that from this point on, most of the materials are really strong. That's because you've proven as much with your marriage. Every anniversary is worth celebrating and six years is nothing to ignore. You can have fun with this one or be practical; either way, congratulations.

TaylorMade R9 SuperTri Driver
www.taylormadegolf.com
It's too early to get the seven year itch. That itch you feel is for golf. What better way to surprise your husband or wife (or both of you) than getting a new set of clubs or at least TaylorMade's new R9 SuperTri Driver? This bad boy offers 24 combinations of differing face angles and CG locations to squeeze out 75 yards of side-to-side trajectory change (not counting your slice) and offers an aerodynamic head shape for less drag. You can almost smell that fresh cut green you knocked onto.
Price: $399

7-Year Anniversary: Wool or Copper
The funny thing about copper is that it's really beautiful when it's new and polished, kind of like your marriage. That newness, though, begins to fade away and is soon replaced with something even better—and that's the good stuff, that's the character coming out. Can you even imagine the Statue of Liberty any other color than oxidized copper green? You can only get these colors with longevity. Celebrate them.

8-Year Anniversary: Bronze
When you're a baby and you've outgrown your shoes they get bronzed for posterity. Well, it's likely that your marriage has evolved over the last eight years and now is a good time to honor those first eight years and to look forward to the next eight and beyond. And just as bronzing shoes are indulgent, so is this year's choice gift.

Louis Vuitton Insolite Wallet

9-Year Anniversary: Pottery
Pottery has been around for centuries. It's an art that seems so simple on the surface, but is remarkable when done well. But rather than admiring the work of others, create some of your own. It's activities like these that will continue to keep you marriage fresh. Heck, bust out the video camera and try to recreate the scene from the movie "Ghost" as you and your spouse spin your own pot of clay. That's an anniversary you'll remember.

The Deluxe Pottery Tool Set includes a wire clay cutter, two bristle brushes, a sumi brush, two broom corn brushes, a spoutmaker, ribs and more. In total, there are 24 pieces to this set. What's that? we think we hear the Righteous Brothers in the background.

10-Year Anniversary: Aluminum
Your first decade of marriage. Congratulations! After 10 years together we hope you take the time to celebrate in style. If you're like most married couples, however, you probably don't have a lot of time and are scrambling. That's why we thought a pressure cooker was appropriate for the occasion. Not only can it be a metaphor for your busy schedule, but the point of a pressure cooker is to save time. Can't we all use that?
