Read on for unique 6 month anniversary gifts. Whether you want to gift them with a memorable experience or a fun keepsake, treat your brand-new beau to a gift that says you care.

Chocolate Making

We're kicking off our newly updated anniversary gift-giving guide with this chocolate tour of Portland. With this tour, they'll go inside an artisan chocolate factory in the heart of Portland to learn exactly what goes in to crafting the perfect bar. Your lucky partner's tour starts when they meet an award-winning chocolate maker, who will explain each careful step of the process. Everything from ethically sourcing the beans to creating the perfect flavor combinations will be covered, and next, your partner will get to take the reigns! After donning the all-important hairnet, they'll be given a bar of chocolate to flavor however they wish. Flavors include dried raspberry, pear, banana, nuts, seeds, and crystallized ginger amongst many others. Once they've created their very own edible masterpiece, their bar will be neatly packaged up for them to take home and enjoy.
