Traditional: Pottery/Bronze
There are so many lovely ceramic gifts that are perfect for the traditional 8th anniversary gift of pottery. With bronze being an alternate gift for this milestone, there are more options than you may realize.
- A ceramic garden stool is a multi-functional must-have... and it’s also really pretty. It works perfectly outdoors or in, where it can be used as a side table or stool.
- Channel that romantic scene in Ghost and sign up for a pottery class together. You’ll make something fun, but more importantly, you’ll make memories.
- A ceramic vase adds some personality and flair, especially if you can find a unique homemade one at a local art show or fair. Bonus points if you fill with fresh flowers.
- Enjoy your morning cup of java together with some personalized coffee mugs.
- Get a bronze plaque customized with a special message or names to display outside of your home.

- For a sexier anniversary present, opt for a few pairs of lace panties.
- Get some monogrammed hand towels for your bathroom to add some clean sophistication.
- A scarf is always a must-have accessory, so look for a pretty lace scarf that can be worn in any season.
