Chocolates and Truffles
Sugar is the sixth-anniversary gift on the UK list, and chocolate is the easiest way to honour it: Lindor truffles, filled boxes and a chocolate-and-nut tray to share.
Flowers With Something Sweet
Roses and other blooms arranged together with chocolates, so the flowers and the treat arrive as one gift.
A Bottle and Something Sweet
Wine or bubbly paired with chocolate: Pongracz with truffles, a Pinotage with dark Lindt, a rosé with white chocolate.
Sweets With Their Names On
Chocolate and nougat boxes printed with the couple's names or your own message. Two of them say Happy Anniversary on the lid.

Why Sugar Suits a Six-Year Marriage
The sixth anniversary is all about sugar — a nod to the sweetness that keeps a marriage moreish six years on. It's a lovely theme to play with: artisan chocolates, decadent truffles, a sweet-tooth hamper made for sharing on the couch, or something a little fancier to mark the milestone. There's no rule that says a gift has to be literally sweet, mind you — the theme is a useful prompt, not a law. On the American list, year six is iron rather than sugar, which opens up plenty of handsome keepsake ideas too.
Picking the Right Sixth-Year Gift
The trick is to match the gift to the person. A confirmed chocolate lover will be thrilled with a decadent box of truffles, while a couple who hosts will appreciate a generous sharing hamper. If you want it to last beyond the last bite, pair an edible treat with something keepsake — a personalised photo frame holding a snap from the wedding day works beautifully. And when in doubt, a thoughtfully built anniversary hamper covers all bases for her, him, or the two of you together.
