15 thoughtful 4th-year wedding anniversary gift ideas

When a wedding anniversary rolls around, flowers, chocolate, jewelry, and sentimental gifts likely come to mind. While those are certainly great options, once a couple is married, some would say that it’s better to buy per the year’s traditional theme to fully celebrate the occasion. When it comes to the fourth wedding anniversary that means sticking to gifts of floral and fruity nature. The reason for such? Once four years of marriage have come and gone, it’s suspected that the relationship has come into full bloom.

But just because you have a theme to shop around doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s easy to come up with memorable gift ideas. That's why we’ve rounded up 15 creative fourth wedding anniversary gift ideas that your partner is sure to love.

1. For the one who loves fresh flowers: Bouqs Bouquet

If your partner loves fresh flowers, you simply can’t go wrong with these stunning pink peonies from Bouqs, which is one of our favorite places to order flowers online. When they arrive, they’ll be in bud form and typically take one to two days to open, so it’s up to you whether you want your partner to receive them at the beginning of their bloom cycle or once they’re at their prettiest. Though you might want to act fast on these, as these consistently come in and out of stock.

2. For the ones who love to cook: Fruit-Infused Balsamic Vinegar

If your partner loves to cook, chances are, they’ll love a bottle (or a few) of Organic Flavored Balsamic Vinegar. Amazon sells a variety of flavor profiles, ranging from sweet to sour, from the brand Mantova. So whether they’re craving a hint of raspberry, fig, pomegranate, or pear, you’re sure to find a vinegar that fits their fancy. More than 1,800 reviewers rate it a full 4.5 stars that are "all amazing."

3. For the ones who honeymooned in France: Ladurée Macarons

Anyone who’s been to Paris or New York City knows: It doesn’t get better than Ladurée when it comes to macarons. Thankfully, you don’t have to live in either city to enjoy the tasty treat. Instead, you can order the Laduree Gourmandise Box of 24 Macarons from Goldbelly. The signature pistachio green gift box comes with 24 macarons—including both fruity and floral flavors. While you can’t choose your specific flavors, know that there’s not a bad one on the list, so you can wholeheartedly trust the chef’s choice.

4. For the one who loves dried flowers: UrbanStems The Sanibel Bouquet

If your partner prefers floral arrangements that last for longer than a few days, be sure to check out UrbanStems’ dried bouquets. The Sanibel is a best-seller on the site because of its neutral appeal and texture variety. Since it’s dried, it can last for months, though, it’s worth noting that moving it around or bumping into it can cause it to shed.

5. For the one who loves to smell like flowers: Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb

A bottle of Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb perfume has the smell of flowers but can be enjoyed weeks longer than a bouquet. The fragrant scent features notes of jasmine, orange blossom, and patchouli, giving it a warm floral vibe with a touch of spice. In short, it’s pretty mesmerizing and the nearly 5,000 reviewers on Sephora are obsessed with the scent.

6. For the ones who love olives—because yes, they're technically a fruit: Brightland Artist Collection

Olive oil is delicious in its own right. When it’s stored in artistic bottles and infused with tasty flavors? Even better. That’s why we love the idea of this The Artist Capsule set. It comes with a bottle of the brand’s lemon olive oil, chili olive oil, and basil olive oil, all of which are bound to take any meal up a notch. Our cooking editor gave Brightland her seal of approval for its high-quality oil and gorgeous bottles.

8. For the one who swoons over roses: Venus et Fleur Small Round Gift Box

If your partner swoons over roses but is regularly bummed by how short-lived they are, it’s time to invest in a Small Round Venus et Fleur gift box. The celebrity-favorite roses cost a pretty penny but are treated with a unique lab formula that preserves their petals so that giftees can enjoy them for a year or longer. Best of all, they’re available in 24 different colors, ranging from black and blush to hot pink and mint, so you’re bound to find your partner’s favorite color.

Chocolate-covered strawberries are a classic when it comes to anniversary gifts. At Goldbelly, you can get a 12-pack Belgian Dark Chocolate Covered Strawberries.

10. For the one who wants to hold a piece of this anniversary forever: Mejuri Flower Necklace

If edible gifts aren’t your thing, consider this stunning 14K gold flower necklace from Mejuri. The brand is well-known for its designer-inspired pieces at more reasonable price points and we have to say, we’re a fan. We tested five Mejuri pieces over four months and found that each was well worth the price thanks to how well they held up to general wear and tear.

Sunflowers are just so cheerful. It’s because of that that we’re certain your partner (so long as they like flowers) will love FTD's assortment of sunflower bouquets. What makes FTD stand out from other flower delivery services is that it sources its flowers from local florists. Because of this, some shoppers worry that the delivery won’t be as stunning as the online photo. But rest assured, we’ve reviewed the brand and found that FTD delivered gorgeous bouquets from multiple locations.
