Custom Wall Art
Something personal on the wall means more than most decorative pieces. A custom print tied to your relationship — a date, a location, a favourite photo — makes the nine years actually visible.

Copper is the traditional material for a 9th anniversary, and a vase feels like a genuinely thoughtful way to mark it. Something you'll actually display, not tuck away in a drawer.

Wall-mounted Wine Rack
A wall-mounted wine rack is a practical yet stylish way to store a growing collection, and it doubles as a real talking point in any kitchen or dining room.

Gourmet Chocolates
Pottery is the traditional 9th anniversary gift, but let's be honest — a box of gourmet chocolates is a much sweeter way to celebrate nine years together.
Scented Candle Set
Pottery is the traditional ninth anniversary gift, but a set of scented candles feels like a modern take that still honours the spirit of it — something handcrafted, tactile, and made to be enjoyed together.
Champagne Flutes
Pottery is the traditional gift for a 9th anniversary, but champagne flutes made from ceramic or clay-inspired designs tick that box while actually being something you'd use. Pour something celebratory and drink to nine years together.
