4th Wedding Anniversary
For fruit and flowers, there are many options in all prices ranges to fit your family's budget.
The classic dozen of red roses is of course an option, or four roses with a thoughtful love note. Perhaps a fruit basket filled with seductive fruits like strawberries and peaches, or exotic fruits like kiwi, figs, mango, or an Asian fruit.
If the recipient has a love of gardening, try giving a flowering shrub, fruit plant, rare species of rose, bonsai, or gardening gear. A flowering fruit tree would cover both traditional gifts.
 To get a little bit fancier, you might consider gold or crystal flowers, or perhaps some delicate floral themed jewelry for your wife. There are three main options with jewelry:
1. You can go for a design that evokes the essence of flowers or fruit, such as in the earrings in the left gray column
2. You can go with a rose gold metal that does not necessarily need a floral design, particularly if your wife prefers more classic designs.
3. Pink rose quartz, which is very beautiful when paired with diamonds (see lefthand column).
Using one a modern anniversary material: a silk scarf, particularly one with a flower pattern or subtle hint of one, would also be a great gift idea for your fourth anniversary.
If your husband is not into fruit, then your best option is to skip right to the modern materials of linen or nylon. Think about whether your husband's sports or hobbies might have memorabilia or gear that uses these. One example would be a nylon sports jersey of his favorite professional team.
Other traditional or modern anniversary materials provide a wide range of possibilities for decorating your new home together with high thread count linens, curtains, and plush towels. Alternatively, a home appliance for the kitchen or home entertaining would also be appropriate for the alternate modern material.

From our Visitors
My wife and I have always been interested in gardening, but in recent years we have both been too busy with work to invest much time in our new yard. So this year we decided to renovate our garden together for our fourth anniversary. It was great because we took special time out of our busy schedules to plan and implement the project together.
-- David and Sue
We are pregnant with our first child! Picking up the fruit idea of this year's anniversary, we bought a plum tree from our local nursery, and my husband planted it in the back yard. It is about five feet tall right now. The idea of this is that each year as our child grows, we will see the plum tree grow and someday it will produce fruit that our kids can pick.

Okay, this is not for prudes but on our fourth anniversary I bought some sensuous fruits like strawberries, cherries, peaches, bananas, and cream and then arranged a platter suggestively before my husband got home so that he would see it first thing when he walked in from work (I was in the other room waiting for him with a cute cherry lingerie number on and the can of whipped cream). I heard his gorgeous laugh a few moments after he put down his keys. He told me later that it made his day!
