Traditional Anniversary Gifts for the Ninth Year: Pottery

After nine years of marriage, a relationship that was once new and malleable has begun to solidify. It is at this point that couples strike a balance in altering their personalities in order to keep themselves and their partners happy. For this reason, clay is one of the traditional anniversary gifts that is symbolically fitting. Like clay, the marriage starts out a blank slate and with a little work it is smoothed and shaped into a work of art; it then hardens to take its permanent shape. Even if you are not typically a fan of the traditional yearly gift ideas, you have to admit this one is meaningful and romantic.

Our JustPotteryRoses™ make for the perfect ninth year anniversary gifts for this theme. They are hand-crafted from polymer clay, so they will not be fragile or break! A bouquet of clay roses in our teak vase is a great romantic touch that the recipient will want to keep around the house to remember the special day. You could also choose an adorable teddy bear holding a pottery rose, or pair the rose with a picture frame containing a snapshot of one of your favorite married-life moments. Wives will love the thoughtfulness and the romance!
