Our 7th anniversary is coming up in a couple weeks (I can't believe it's been 7 years!). We have always stuck with giving traditional gifts, first anniversary is paper, second is cotton, etc (whole list here) and I love it. My favorite was the fourth, fruit and flowers. Steven gave me a dogwood tree and I gave him a service berry tree. (The service berry is blooming right now!) 
But this year the traditional gift is copper or wool and I am stumped. Spring has sprung so wool is unappealing, and the only things I can think of that are copper are pennies (even though they aren't really copper anymore) and plumbing. (image here)
If I decided to think of copper as a color, I could get him a Japanese Maple (image here), but we don't really have a place for one in the yard.

...but Pom's are soooo cute!! :)
I think it's neat that you guys do the "traditional" gifts. Now you have me creatively thinking about a Copper or Wool gift... hmmmm. (And Happy Anniversary - early!)
I hope I think of something good!
thanks!
I love the Japanese maple idea - I have a few on my tiny balcony - they grow well in containers!
I think we might have space for one in a container, good idea!
aww, i have a pomeranian (my first 'small' dog), and she's the light of my life! her little happy face is a delight each day!

Copper or Wool... that is a bit of a challenge (especially since it's spring!) I don't know that I have any great ideas off the top of my head, but I will let you know if I think of any!
I know! it's a tough one. I've only got 10 days left and I am still at a loss. I hope that Steven is as confused as I am because I'll feel bad if he comes up with something brilliant and I end up getting him an orange sweater!
