Fourth Wedding Anniversary Gifts and Ideas
Gift Suggestions for the Traditional Fruit and Flowers Anniversary
Nov 25, 2008
Giving anniversary flowers is such an established custom, that it can seem a little unexceptional when trying to follow the traditional gift list for wedding anniversaries. There are however some quirky and non-traditional ways to incorporate the floral/fruit theme into an anniversary gift.
Fourth Anniversary Gifts for Men
Floral print clothing is a good option for a man. If he doesn’t mind standing out from the crowd, then a Hawaiian shirt may be just the thing. A keen beachgoer can always use some floral print board shorts. If he prefers to be less frivolous in his attire, then perhaps a tie with a small flower or fruit motif.
Fruit of the Loom boxers and briefs are an easy way to avoid the problem of giving flowers to men.
For the gadget-junkie, consider something from the Apple store. Whether a small token such as a cover for his iPod, or something more expensive, like a new Macbook, technology fans should be able to find the perfect gadget.
Fourth Anniversary Gifts for Women
If receiving flowers is something she loves, turn the floral anniversary into a special occasion by seeking out some blooms that have a special significance. The flowers she carried in her bridal bouquet for example or flowers from a honeymoon destination.
Flowers often feature in jewellery designs. Look for pretty daisy bracelets or simple gold and silver flower or fruit charms.
A beautiful cut-glass or crystal vase makes an elegant and useful keepsake. A written love note promising to keep it filled over the years is a thoughtful inclusion.
Romantic Flower Anniversary Gifts
Plant a fruit tree together and make a promise to watch it grow over the years.
Breakfast in bed is almost always greeted with delight by the recipient. A breakfast tray for two is a romantic way to start the day. Acknowledge the theme of the fourth year together by including some fresh fruit and add a single rose or other favourite flower as decoration.
Plan a romantic evening together and fill the bedroom with flowers. Don’t forget to scatter some petals over the bed!
Homemade or Inexpensive Flower Anniversary Gifts
Fill a flower pot with wrapped chocolates or candies for a sweet-toothed spouse. Any small token can be used in this way. A flower pot of small love notes would be romantic and thoughtful.
Pack a picnic basket with champagne and favourite delicacies and head off to a park for a romantic lunch among the flowers.
If finding the perfect flower or fruit gift still proves too difficult, the modern anniversary list marks the fourth anniversary as appliances.
