4th Year Anniversary Gift Ideas
Flower Gifts for the 4th Anniversary
Every year, when it's time to commemorate the wonderful relationship you have with your partner, it can get to be more and more difficult to come up with the perfect gift, that ideal way to tell her how much you care. Fortunately, there are some traditional suggestions for every marriage anniversary that can help narrow down your choices, and at least give you a starting point in your quest for the perfect gift. While you needn't be ruled by these traditional ideas, they can certainly help you get started.
Traditional and Modern 4th Anniversary Gifts
Tradition calls for the 4th anniversary to be remembered with a gift of linens, silks, fruit, or flowers. Silk has always had the reputation of being luxurious and elegant, a fitting expression of your feeling toward her. With fruits and flowers, the underlying idea is that these two offerings of nature mimic the fertility, the hope, and the sense of renewal that your marriage embodies. Of course, within this broad category, there are literally thousands of ideas you could pursue for your special loved one.
While the obvious bouquet of flowers can still be a wonderful expression of your continued commitment, there are a number of equally good choices. For instance, you might find a healthy and appealing fruit basket, a beautiful floral painting, some flowered lingerie or clothing, or a floral-scented perfume. If you happen to have such a facility nearby, you could also arrange for a romantic outing at a botanical garden, so that you can both be surrounded for a few hours by nature's expression of love.
On the more modern side of things, 4th anniversary gifts have tended toward buying an appliance for your loved one. While these may lack a certain romantic element, they do show that you care about making her life easier and more enjoyable on a daily basis. In that light, a good idea might be the coffee maker she's always wanted, perhaps a waffle maker, or a food processor that will allow her to prepare all kinds of healthy concoctions for you both.
Outside the Box
If you're the kind of person who doesn't pay much attention to tradition, and you'd rather come up with your own way of showing your partner that this 4th anniversary is just as special as every other one, you can come up with some 'outside the box' thinking that will show you really put some thought into it. How about a quiet picnic lunch in a local park? Or a wine-tasting tour that includes a special restaurant dinner? Take advantage of any local attractions which might be ideal for couples to spend quality time together, and where you can have some quiet moments to appreciate each other's company.
One Last Idea
Most people tend to emphasize the 'milestone' anniversaries, i.e. the 1st, the 5th, the 10th, etc., but the truth is that every anniversary should be special, because each one is a reminder that you have decided to share your life with an extraordinary partner, someone who is your perfect match in the world. Show her that she is the flower who brings beauty and brilliance to your life with a dazzling 24K gold-dipped rose that will literally take her breath away.
