So, What Exactly Is the 4th-Anniversary Gift Theme? We Have All the Answers! (2024)

If you're here, I'm guessing your fourth anniversary is coming up—so first of all, congratulations on beating the odds! In case you needed a reminder, four years together is a BFD! But if you’re like, “I can’t wrap up domestic bliss with tissue paper, I have to find an actual gift that I haven’t already given them at some point during our years of wedding anniversaries, holidays, and birthdays,” that’s where we (*waves jazz hands*) come in. To make your celebration easier, we've rounded up the best fourth-anniversary gift ideas to give your S.O. or spouse.

Different anniversaries have optional (but v fun) gifting themes associated with them—like if you make it to 60 years, it’s traditional to receive diamonds! Like, hellooo! But what's the theme for a four-year anniversary gift, you ask? The slightly-less-sparkly-but-still-cute theme is usually fruit or flowers (geraniums, if you want to be specific), and the more modern gift is appliances. And in case you need a little more inspo, the gemstone associated with the fourth wedding anniversary is blue topaz. But you don’t have to splurge on actual gemstones—IMO, anything blueish-greenish is fair game for a fourth-anniversary gift!

These four-year anniversary gifts are tried and true…

• Traditional: Fruit and flowers
