Celebrate 4 Years of Togetherness with Gifts And Romantic Moments: 10 Memorable 4 Year Anniversary Gift Ideas For Your Husband

The traditional gifts for the fourth year of marriage include flowers and fruits in the UK and linen and silk in the US. As per the modern custom, appliances are also considered acceptable gifts. But what matters most while selecting an anniversary gift for your husband is personal taste. You can even choose to break away completely from tradition.

But there are plenty of gifts that you can give him while sticking to the custom as well. Pair of linen pants, a silk shirt or tie, or any gadget like a coffee maker or an electric shaver, are gifts which are modern yet in keeping with the tradition. A fun take on tradition is to include certain traditional elements with more modern gifts, like including a basket of fruits or a bouquet of flowers with your gift.

While picking a gift for your husband just remember one simple rule. Pick a gift which he would like. It’s as simple as that. We are not saying that you should always play it safe and pick tried and tested gifts. But try to select something which is aligned with your husband’s taste. Play to his interests and try to gift him something that appeals to his personality. Don’t pick gifts based on how you would like him to be. The gift is for him, therefore it’s he who has to like it not you. If you are gifting clothes, make sure they go with his personal style. If you are buying gadgets or something hobby related then make sure that what you are getting him is on his wish list.

`Don’t underestimate practical gifts. Wouldn’t you like to receive something that you would find greatly useful yourself? So don’t over think and get your husband something that he needs. It could be an object of daily use, something that he likes to do in his free time or personal care items. If he follows a fitness routine then you can get him exercise gear or sportswear like a pair of gym shoes or running shoes. Keep an eye out for what he needs. If his wallet is starting to look old and worn out, get him a wallet. If his office laptop bag looks like it has seen better days then get him a new one.

It’s your anniversary; a special day for the both of you. So pick a gift which has an emotional value. Customised or monogrammed gifts are a great way to show your love and so are nostalgic gifts like a book by a favorite author, or something handmade. Photo gifts are always heartwarming. You could pick a photo mug, a cushion, a framed collage or something else altogether. You could even make a handmade collage or a photo book using all your old photographs together.

Take a day off from work and spend some quality time together. You could write him love notes or maybe a heartfelt letter expressing your feelings for him. Write down all the things that you cannot say to his face. Don’t be afraid to express your emotions or be a little mushy. Your husband will only appreciate your honesty and candour.

A gift doesn’t always have to be something materialistic; it could be a home cooked meal, tickets to a concert, a hot air balloon ride or maybe a beachside getaway. A surprise gift on your anniversary is the best thing that you can give your husband. Relive your special moments by surprising him with a pre-planned date at the restaurant where you had your first date. If you are willing to try something a little bold, then we would suggest switching it up in the bedroom. Put on a kind of show for him. Slip on something sexy like a negligee and maybe some fishnet stockings, spray on some heady perfume, put on some sultry music, and give him a treat for all his senses.

Some classics never get old. A candlelight dinner date is something that is inherently romantic. Woo your man with a beautifully planned dinner at his favourite restaurant, or right at the comfort of your home. If you have a terrace or an open garden area you could set up the dinner table there. Hang some fairy lights, get some fresh flowers and a bottle of wine. Do dress up even if you are having the dinner at home and ask him to do the same. You could write an invite and leave it next to his bed. Mention the dress code, location and time. It’s great lounging around in pyjamas watching Netflix, but a candlelight dinner calls for special attire. Don’t forget to play some romantic music to set the mood.

A cake makes everything ten times better. Bake an anniversary cake for your darling husband to give him a sweet surprise on this special occasion.

If you are a pro then feel free to experiment. If you are a beginner, then stick with something simple and classic like a plain chocolate or vanilla cake.

A change of surroundings is much required to breathe new life into a relationship. Go off on a weekend trip or a short holiday for your anniversary. Nothing compares to spending your special day at a sea view resort or maybe a mountainside cabin. If you have children then leave them at your parent’s or in-laws house. This holiday could be a chance for you two to reconnect on a deeper level. Leave your work stress and other tensions behind. Focus on spending quality time with your husband without distractions. There are various websites from where you could book your hotel, your plane tickets and get huge discounts on them too. Visit makeytrip.com, Trivago, or Expedia. If you are planning the trip as a surprise for your husband then make sure that he is free on those days. If you are unsure about his schedule, then do check with him on the pretext of something else. That way you won’t ruin the surprise.
