9th wedding anniversary gifts are traditionally celebrated with pottery. The great thing about pottery is that it can be both practical with everyday mugs and plates, or ornamental - and there is nothing stopping you from having both.
As a romantic idea how about breakfast in bed, served with your anniversary gift of matching crockery. You can get fun designs with Mr and Mrs, or the 'World's Best Wife' and 'Worlds Best Husband'! Or you could be more sophisticated with classic tableware.
You can't get more classic than Royal Doulton, they are described as the "quintessential British tableware" and as they are fit for Royalty it is worth a peek.
I also love finding a bargain and have found some great pieces on
and there are also some great vintage pottery pieces. These look great in a display and can be a good investment, below are the items on sale now, click on the link to get more details.Pottery is also something that you can have a go at yourself, sign up to a local college and wow your other half with the beauty of your creation! Or you could visit a local pottery together and choose your gift created by experts.
Most potteries that we have visited are tourist attractions and are a great day out, recently we went to Poole Pottery, I love the colours that they use and although their pieces are expensive they are very popular. We had a great time as you can paint your own plate and even get to throw plates and cups if you want to.
If you are looking to travel for your 9th wedding anniversary gifts you are in luck, most countries have a tradition of pottery as everyone needed pots to store items. You could bring back some unique world pottery as your souvenir.
