The best thing about wedding anniversaries is that couples are usually keeping track on the number of years that they have been together. Why do you think couples do this? Well, aside from the fact that you get the joy of knowing that you have been in a relationship for a long time and that the two of you did manage to stand the test of time and the hindrances that fate had thrown your way. Aside from counting the years, people have even given them names by using gemstones and flowers. If you are celebrating your 40th year wedding anniversary then you are celebrating your ruby anniversary. And thinking a gift for your partner on this special day is not that hard.

There are many ideas out there which serve as inspirations for the 40th wedding anniversary gifts that you can give your partner. You may want to decide first if you would want to simply buy the gift for your honey or if you could make an extra special gift by doing it by yourself. So if you are going to buy something for your partner then you can do so. Being married to him or her for 40 years would definitely help you know what she or he likes. It would be up to you to choose. Just think of what she or he likes and buy it off. That would be the easiest thing to do but of course you can make it more special.

One thing that you can do is to combine the idea of having the 40 years or the ruby year anniversary in your 40th wedding anniversary gifts. If you are a guy for example, you can simply give a ruby necklace to your wife and 40 pieces of flowers. You can bring her to a restaurant full of red roses or where the color red is very visible than any other color. It can be a romantic evening for the both of you. And if you are a lady for that matter, then go for anything that's red. If not, you can simply cook at home for your dinner date but make sure that the table along with the diner's area is decorated with color red. Maybe you can even try scattering red rose petals so as to give a romantic effect in the set-up. This set-up does not only give you a tie with the 40 years but it also gives you the aura of love as represented by the color red.

40th wedding anniversary gifts could also be homemade. Crafted presents are usually suitable for this kind of events. You can do a mosaic, painting, banner or anything that could express your love for your partner through art. You may even want to sow or to crochet something like a scarf, socks, hat or sweater if you can and if you know how to do it. In the end, value of the gift does not matter. It is the effort that you put into it and creating the present that you have prepared for your partner that matters.
