Fruit and flowers are the traditional 4th anniversary gifts, symbolising growth, beauty, and a relationship in full bloom. They might feel like a classic option, but with a little creativity, they can be thoughtful, stylish, and far from predictable.
For Her:
Leaning into the floral theme? A beautifully packaged flower delivery always goes down well, but a flowering orange tree is a fun twist - and one that lasts longer than a bouquet. You could also opt for indulgent chocolate-covered strawberries (bonus points if they're shared over a bottle of fizz).
For Him:
For something light-hearted yet meaningful, a personalised wooden apple with a secret message makes a sweet keepsake. Foodie gifts also work brilliantly - think a premium fruit and nut selection or even a funny keyring that adds a little humour to the tradition.
Appliances are the modern take on 4th wedding anniversary gifts - a nod to the life you’re building together and the home comforts you’ve come to appreciate. While not the most romantic-sounding category, the right appliance can be both thoughtful and practical.
For Her:
If you’re looking to spoil her, you can’t go wrong with a Dyson upgrade. The cult-favourite Dyson Airwrap is a beauty essential that lives up to the hype - and the Dyson Airstrait is perfect for those who love sleek, salon-worthy hair without the heat damage. Practical and luxurious in one.
For Him:
Think appliances he’ll actually get excited about - like a Bose Bluetooth speaker for crisp sound, whether he’s working out, cooking, or just relaxing. A L'OR coffee machine with a milk frother is another winner, especially if your mornings together revolve around a caffeine kick. It’s functional, sleek, and feels like a proper upgrade.
Blue topaz is the gemstone associated with the 4th wedding anniversary, symbolising love, loyalty, and clarity. With its calming blue hue, blue topaz is a beautiful way to celebrate how settled and connected you’ve become as a couple.
For Her:
A delicate blue topaz bracelet or a pair of teardrop earrings makes a timeless gift - perfect for adding a touch of sparkle to everyday looks or special occasions.
For Him:
On the hunt for the perfect gemstone gift for him? A sterling silver ring with a blue topaz inlay or a pair of classic cufflinks is a subtle way to nod to the traditional gemstone. Stylish and personal, they’re pieces he’ll actually want to wear.
Whether you go for something traditional, modern, or gemstone-inspired, the best 4th wedding anniversary gifts are the ones that feel personal to your relationship and reflect the life you’re building together.
