Sure, tradition may dictate the type of gift you're supposed to get your significant other for each wedding anniversary—paper for the first, cotton for the second, leather for the third, and florals and fruit for the fourth—but outdated rules aren't for everyone. In fact, if you're ready to buck tradition rather than lean into it, there's no shortage of unique, romantic gift ideas for your fourth anniversary to explore.
While you can opt for something sensual like a set of silk sheets to accompany a lush bath robe, there's no reason you can't stick to tried-and-true ideas, like jewelry, a new fragrance, or something for the home if they're an interior design buff. And that said, for a more modern, unconventional approach, another newly minted yet customary riff on a fourth-year anniversary gift is an electrical appliance or other tech-centric gift for the person who loves to be ahead of the game.
From romantic gestures to home decor, kitchen updates, and beyond, get inspired with these chic, smart, and romantic gift ideas. Ahead, the most thoughtful and unique four-year anniversary gifts to shop now.
