Ruby Themed Anniversary Gift Ideas
Just because your Mom and Dad may not want rubies from you, they will love a ruby themed gift instead. When you have been married for 40 years you will want someone to acknowledge it with a well thought gift.
What Do Your Parents Love?
The first thing to do is think about the kind of people your parents are and what they like.
There is no point buying them the best seats to see a great musical if they don't really want to go, and trust me we should know! Years ago we bought the best seats we could afford for Les Miserables for my parents and my Dad ended up giving them to someone he worked with. It wasn't that they didn't want to see the musical, they still do, it was too much of an effort for my Dad! He likes the quiet life!
If you have brothers and sisters it might be a good idea to include them in choosing and buying the gift. This way you will be able to buy a more expensive gift together.
If you want to buy a really big gift that maybe your parents have hinted at, you may need to ask friends and other families to join in.
Sentimental Gifts
40 years is a big celebration and this is a lovely time to show your Mom and Dad how much they mean to you.
- You could do this by taking them out to dinner but why not give them something that they will treasure, a book full of happy memories from the past 40 years.
- A photo book can be a combined effort from all of their family and friends, ask them for a copy of their favorite photo or a handwritten memory and collate them as one big book of their marriage.You may find you will need more than one volume!
Anniversary Family Tree

Renewing Vows

A lot of couples like to celebrate their big anniversaries by renewing their vows. Your parents may want to do the same, but you need to ask and make sure they do before you plan everything! You could always check with your Dad to start with and suggest that it would be a romantic thing to do as they are celebrating 40 years together.
They may have only had a small wedding ceremony or this time would like to have an intimate vow renewal on a beautiful beach.
