Iron anniversary idea

All, 

First time I have used one of these boards, but it's my wife and my sixth anniversary coming up and we do the traditional gifts. This year it's iron, and I am honestly having a very difficult time finding something cool for us. I think we are going to be getting something together as a gift, but I am looking for something a little smaller and really nice for her as well, but it's a little tough. Do any of you have any thoughts? Her style is pretty classic but a little modern as well (she loves, for example, most things at West Elm, Pottery Barn, etc.), and she is also very sentimental (which is awesome, but makes me really want to do a great job with anniversaries, which I don't always do!). 

Anyway, if any of you have any cool ideas or anything like that it would be great!

    The first thought I had was a charm, but when I searched "iron charm" - I got lots of charms of  irons/ironing boards.  Which I thought was funny....but not very romantic. 
    If you want to stick with iron, I thought these were cute

    If you want to stick with the iron theme, and feel inclined to go with something more practical, you could get something cast iron, like a cute teapot

    I realize some of the specific items that I linked too are a little expensive (at least for me, they are), but I know I've seen that style of teapot for closer to $20.  If you looked around etsy (where I found the names), you could find something similar, but cheaper (I saw other items that were just initials)
  • Thanks! That teapot is definitely a possibility - I really like it. Thanks again!

    If anyone else has cool ideas that would be awesome as well, as I am just trying to accumulate as many as possible - it's not an easy anniversary gift material!

    What about iron candle sconces? You can usually find them in different styles from really rustic to more filigree and classical.
