What is the ninth wedding anniversary?

The traditional 9th wedding anniversary gift is pottery (china) and the modern gift is leather goods. The flower is poppy (bright red) and the gemstone is lapis lazuli (royal blue). Some gift ideas:

* A ceramic vase filled with dried poppies

* A personalized blue or red leather photo album * A blue or red leather photo frame with a favorite image of your friends

* A lapis lazuli sculpture or decoration * A vase painted with poppies and filled with blue roses * Poppies are a symbol to honor military vets. Go to your local VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) and see if they have any in stock to purchase. You'll also be contributing to a great organization.
