By the 4th anniversary couples have generally acquired quite a few items for their home but they are still likely in need of specific items. Fruits and flowers adorn many products which can be both practical and decorative in the home.
A fruit basket, flower bouquet, art piece, or other home decor gift is also ideal for gifting on this occasion. Bedspreads, quilts, dishes, towels, rugs, pots, and pottery all can be found decorated in bright hued flowers and fruit. Art prints are another very acceptable gift in a harvest theme. The Modern Suggestion is for Appliances
Appliance gifts can be large such as a washer, dryer, or freezer. Generally though smaller appliances such as a toaster, coffee maker, juicer, or blender are items that are gifted for a wedding or anniversary.
There are hundreds of items which fall into this theme which makes it quite easy to select an item which will suit most any couple. Quite romantic are old fashioned appliance replicas. With all the benefits of modern technology they are styled in a delightful yesteryear theme. A vintage style cast iron and wood classic coffee grinder is a gift with charm. Bring an old fashioned country warmth to the kitchen with coffee that way it used to be prepared, fresh from the bean. Another delightful coffee gift is that of a coffee press. It is a romantic way to serve up coffee for two first thing in the morning. These beverage makers come in varying sizes. My ideal is a four cup coffee press as it can serve each person two cups. The perfect way to start the morning. Of course the newer coffee on demand pod coffee machines are also very nice too.
A Gift of Romance is Always Ideal
A Flower with an Abundant Beauty
This symbolic flower chosen to represent the four year wedding anniversary is the Hydrangea which features a beautiful abundance of petals. The hydrangea has a number of symbolic meanings with understanding, thankfulness, and devotion being the most common.
Gifts bearing the hydrangea flowers image carry with them the same symbolism. For the fourth anniversary these symbolic messages are ideally suited to this flower. An anniversary gift really can smell as sweet as it looks. Bath soaps, scented lotions, potpourri or a scent diffuser are delightful yet practical items for this celebratory occasion. A living plant is also absolutely an ideal gift for home owners. It truly is a unique and thoughtful gift with a message of lasting love. The delightful image of hydrangea flowers and the scent this floral bouquet brings to the new couple's home. |
