Traditional 4th Anniversary Gift Ideas: Fruit or Flowers

Modern 4th Anniversary Gift Ideas: Appliance

Four years of marriage and still going — and growing — strong? Now that’s a reason to celebrate! The cute, wide-eyed couple who just four years ago said “I do” has bloomed into an awesome, incredible pair. And this anniversary is all about celebrating a flourishing love that just keeps getting sweeter with time. If you’re sensing a theme here, with all the growing and blooming and sweetness, then can you guess what the traditional anniversary gift is for this year?

Flowers? Yep. Fruit? Ding! Either choice is the correct answer for this anniversary’s traditional gift of fruit or flowers, symbolic of how four years of daily TLC has established the roots and strength to keep growing together. Or simply because love is a beautiful thing!

No surprise the flower of this anniversary is the hydrangea, one of the biggest blooms out there that just gets better every year. Or, if you want to go the modern route, give an appliance. Okay, so maybe that’s not the most romantic choice, but a smoothie maker will sure come in handy for all those fruit bouquets.
