Things to Consider When Choosing a 4th Anniversary Gift
Recipient’s Personal Style
When picking out a present, be sure to consider what your spouse’s style preferences. Just because you love a gift, doesn’t mean your significant other will be as wowed by it. If your wife hates the color blue, then why not opt for something that comes in a different color? Or if your husband doesn’t like wearing bow ties, a traditional tie may be the way to go. Don’t try and change your spouse. Rather, give them a gift that shows you know what they like.
Allergies and Food Preferences
Giving the happy couple a tasty box of cookies may seem like a great idea. However, be sure you know about any allergies or food preferences the couple may have before shopping. There’s nothing worse than getting a box of peanut-butter cookies for someone who’s allergic to nuts! If you take the time to find out what a couple likes and can or cannot eat, your thoughtfulness will mean the world. It’ll also mean you pick out something delicious!
Arrival Times
When ordering a gift for your significant other, be sure you allow plenty of time for the present to ship. No one wants to show up to their 4th anniversary date night empty-handed! By planning ahead and taking into account how long a gift will take to arrive, you’ll show your spouse that you put time and effort into making sure this anniversary is one they’ll remember.
Personalization
Giving a couple a personalized gift can be a meaningful way to show them that you care. After all, most stores require a certain amount of time to monogram or engrave a product. By having a present personalized with the couple’s names or last name, you’ll demonstrate that you put energy into finding a gift that’s perfect only for them. And they can use it for years to come to celebrate their family!
FAQs About 4th Wedding Anniversary Gifts
What is the symbol for the 4th wedding anniversary?
For the 4th wedding anniversary, traditionally fruits and flowers are considered symbols for this year. In the United Kingdom, however, the 4th anniversary is symbolized by linen. You don’t have to stick with tradition though. In fact, as time has changed, electronic appliances have come to be associated with this anniversary. Of course, you shouldn’t feel hemmed in by symbolism. Any gift that you’ve put thought into and shows you care will mean the world to the recipient!
How much should I spend on a 4th anniversary gift?
A thoughtful gift doesn’t have to be the most expensive. Rather, finding a present your significant will find meaningful is worth so much more in the long run. A great way to make sure no one feels pressure to spend a ton is to talk with your spouse about setting a budget. That way, you don’t have to worry about spending too much or too little on a gift when compared to the one you receive. Both parties will receive a gift that is roughly the same price.
Do I need to get my partner a 4th anniversary present if we’re in a long-distance relationship?
While you should never feel pressured to give an anniversary gift, it is important to treat your long-distance partner with the same respect you’d give to someone living nearby. Your best bet for ensuring no one gets their feelings hurt is, of course, asking your significant other how they’d like to celebrate this milestone. Communication is key, after all! When in doubt, though, everyone likes receiving gifts, so you really can’t go wrong with sending them a little something special.
Would it be better to get a few small gifts or just one large gift for a 4th anniversary present?
You know your partner best, so take into consideration their gift-giving style when planning your own. For past anniversaries, have they just given you one gift? Or do they like picking out multiple presents they know you’ll love? Taking your cues from what your spouse has done in the past is a great way to determine what you’ll give. And if you’re really not sure which gift-giving route to go, consider asking their friends what they’d recommend. If you opt for multiple small gifts, choosing four gifts to commemorate the four years you’ve spent together could also be a great option!
