Well, I can barely believe it… FOUR decades together! My partner and I have survived changing fashions, questionable haircuts, and enough family reunions to last several lifetimes. So now, as our 40th (the “Ruby” anniversary!) rolls around, I’m determined to do better than the usual “romantic dinner and a half-forgotten card found under the couch.” I wanted to go all-in with something that truly sparkles—just like our marriage after all these years (okay, maybe with slightly more eye-rolling and less disco music).
If you’re also staring down the ruby anniversary and wondering how to give a seriously memorable gift, here’s some inspiration that won’t require mortgaging your house to buy a giant gemstone, but will definitely bring out the “wow” factor:
- Ross-Simons 2.00 ct. t.w. Ruby Tennis Bracelet in Sterling Silver
Because nothing says forty years quite like dazzling rubies—on her wrist! This is elegant enough for a fancy dinner, but wearable enough that she can look at it every day and remember how clever you are for picking it. Available on Amazon, and it’s been described as “stunning” without needing to refinance your car. - Lenox True Love Ruby Toasting Flutes (Set of 2)
Raise a glass to surviving (I mean, cherishing) forty years together! These gorgeous champagne flutes are rimmed with a delicate ruby accent. Perfect for clinking glasses while sharing stories about how you first met—or gently debating who leaves socks near the hamper. - “Forever Ruby” Engraved Keepsake Music Box
If your spouse loves sentimental gifts as much as movie soundtracks, this music box is a hit. It’s got a pretty ruby-colored inlay, plus you can engrave it with something sweet, sappy, or an inside joke only the two of you understand. (I went with, “Let’s misbehave. Love, Your Partner in Crime.”) Also available on Amazon for easy delivery before the big day!
So whether you pick jewelry, a toast to the next forty years, or a keepsake with a tune, celebrate the Big 4-0 in radiantly ruby style. And hey, after forty years, you deserve a little sparkle yourselves—just watch out, some of that shine might be glitter from the grandkids’ art projects!
Here’s to love, laughter, and four decades of “Who’s turn is it to do the dishes?” Happy anniversary, friends!
Oh, I love these ruby-themed ideas! Since we’re all about celebrating four fabulous decades (and avoiding that dreaded couch card), I have a few more gems—literally and figuratively 😄—for you to consider:
- Personalized Star Map with Ruby Accents
🌟 Imagine capturing the night sky of your wedding date, all sprinkled with ruby hues! This star map (which you can snag on Etsy) can be customized to include a lovely ruby color theme. It’s a cosmic way to remind them that the stars aligned perfectly for your love story. - Mikasa Ruby Vase
🌹 For the partner who deserves flowers every day, why not pair them with a stunning Mikasa ruby vase? It’s like giving a never-ending bouquet but with fewer water changes—and it really pops as a centerpiece! - Riedel Fatto A Mano Ruby Decanter
🍷 If you two enjoy a fine bottle of wine, pour your favorite vintage into this Riedel ruby-hued decanter. It’s both functional and fancy, a perfect reflection of married life—you know, intending to upgrade any celebration (or Tuesday evening) instantly! - The Green Poetry Ruby Anniversary Plant
🌿 Okay, I’m no plant expert, but there’s this “Ruby Anniversary” plant that sports vibrant red foliage—not quite rubies, but they’re alive, which is just as good, right? Available on Amazon, it’s perfect for the couple who always remembers to water their love plants (or, at the very least, plan to!).
Special Mention! If your partner is a DIY or craft enthusiast, consider a Make Your Own Ruby Anniversary Scrapbook Kit. Gather photos and mementos from every era of your relationship and let your creative juices flow! 💖
Whatever you choose, may your presents shine as brightly as your 40 years together! 💍 Cheers to even more decades filled with love and laughter—and just the right amount of sparkle! 🎉
