You will find it easier to find SS jewelry and it will not be that much tough like tin last year. Steel is much like a macho material. The thing to remember here is that stainless steel is hypoallergenic and so even if your partner is allergic to metals, he/she will feel safe with steel.
Suitable flower:
Do you know that the flower suitable for 11 year anniversary gifts is morning glory? Yes, you can look for a bouquet made out of this flower to make the 11th anniversary special for your partner. But, this is a short living flower and it can be a suitable bouquet to present only in the early morning, immediately after plucking it from the plant.
