If you're here, I'm guessing your fourth anniversary is coming up—so first of all, congratulations on beating the odds! In case you needed a reminder, four years together is a BFD! But if you’re like, “I can’t wrap up domestic bliss with tissue paper, I have to find an actual gift that I haven’t already given them at some point during our years of wedding anniversaries, holidays, and birthdays,” that’s where we (*waves jazz hands*) come in. To make your celebration easier, we've rounded up the best fourth-anniversary gift ideas to give your S.O. or spouse.

Different anniversaries have optional (but v fun) gifting themes associated with them—like if you make it to 60 years, it’s traditional to receive diamonds! Like, hellooo! But what's the theme for a four-year anniversary gift, you ask? The slightly-less-sparkly-but-still-cute theme is usually fruit or flowers (geraniums, if you want to be specific), and the more modern gift is appliances. And in case you need a little more inspo, the gemstone associated with the fourth wedding anniversary is blue topaz. But you don’t have to splurge on actual gemstones—IMO, anything blueish-greenish is fair game for a fourth-anniversary gift!

These four-year anniversary gifts are tried and true…

  • Traditional: Fruit and flowers
  • Modern: Appliances
  • Gemstone: Topaz
  • Flower: Geraniums
  • Colors: Blue and green

We've rounded up a ton of gifts related to fruit, flowers, appliances, and blue topaz that are perfect for your four-year anniversary. We've also tossed a few items in here that don't strictly adhere to the theme but are worth considering bc they're unique and just plain gorgeous. Keep reading for the best fourth-anniversary gifts to shop now.

P.S. If you waited until the last minute, several of these gifts are available on Amazon with Prime shipping! You're welcome!
