Willow Gifts for Your Ninth Wedding Anniversary

You two officially have the hang of this whole marriage thing. As you approach your first full decade of wedded bliss, you're both in a groove—at work, at home, and most importantly, with each other. It hasn't always been easy, but it's always been worthwhile. Toasting to nine whole years of togetherness, then, is an absolute must. Also mandatory? A gift that perfectly signifies your bond. If you've done some light online window shopping for the perfect ninth anniversary present, you've likely discovered that a willow wood item (yep!) is the traditional wedding anniversary gift for the year. It makes sense, when you think about it—earthy and natural, the wood is as organic as your love for each other.

Finding a willow-centric gift, however, isn't necessarily the easiest. Beyond planting actual weeping willow trees (which we'll get to!), luxe, anniversary-worthy gifts made of willow are, to use tree terminology, a little sparse. That's why we went for a broad interpretation when putting together our willow gift guide. Here, you'll find plenty of highbrow wood-themed gifts that are sure to upgrade a home or wardrobe. From the trendiest rattan bag and picnic basket to a neutral ottoman and bar cart, there are so many cool ways to interpret this classic wedding anniversary gift choice without getting super literal.

We did, however, discover a few hidden willow gems. From willow-wrapped candles to the prettiest bed, this wood type is truly a beauty and is sure to delight your spouse as you celebrate your ninth year as husband and wife.
