40th Wedding Anniversary

Lovely red rubies are the classic gift for the 40th anniversary. Add sparkly red glitter to cards and invitations. For gardeners, ruby colored flowers such as nasturtium or a climbing rose with ruby colored blooms are perfect gifts. A ruby red momento box will keep the couple’s treasures safe and secure. For a more exotic gift, give a trip to a ruby mine in Cherokee, North Carolina. Ruby colored paperweights, candles, candleholders, antique ruby glass, or red Asian-themed gifts are other options.

From our Visitors

I took my wife out to lunch at her favorite restaurant. While we were out, I had arranged for our daughter to fill the living room with red roses and red streamers. When we got home, my wife had no idea anyone had been there because our children were not expected to come over until dinnertime. When my wife walked into the living room she just stopped suddenly in her tracks in complete surprise before she laughed and cried. A great result, well worth the planning.
