Some couples just fly by the seat of their pants when choosing gifts for their upcoming wedding anniversary, while others take the more old-fashioned approach and follow the traditional wedding anniversary gift pattern. If your fourth year anniversary is fast approaching, the traditional wedding anniversary gift involves fruits or flowers. While the idea of fruits and flowers seems pretty specific, there is actually quite a lot of room for interpretive gifts for this year. Here are some ideas on gifts you can get for your spouse on your fourth year wedding anniversary.

* We might as well begin by stating the obvious here. If your spouse has a favorite flower, like tulips, have a florist design a spectacular display of them and have them delivered to her place of work or at home.

* If you want to be a little more creative with flowers, lead your spouse on a flower scavenger hunt. Buy a dozen stems of his or her favorite flower and leave them in different places around the house (or if you want, around the town) with notes on where to find the next flower. Each destination might have a small little gift for them, of your choosing. The final flower can be located at a favorite restaurant or in the dining room of your home where you have prepared their favorite dinner.

* Why not give your spouse the gift that keeps on giving throughout the year and enroll them in a flower or fruit of the month club? With these clubs, you usually pay a monthly fee and each month a seasonal flower or fruit is delivered to the home.

* Research the different fruit trees that thrive best in your climate and surprise your spouse with a fruit tree that you plant in your front or back yard. For an extra special touch, you can have a plaque engraved with a nice note and the date that you can place at the foot of the tree.

* If your spouse loves to garden, why not get them some new gardening tools or enroll them in a gardening class at a local nursery?

* If your spouse loves to collect art, commission a local artist (if your budget is a concern, you can easily find a local college student majoring in art, as well) to paint a fruit or flower themed painting for your spouse. Maybe your spouse can be in the portrait as well, which can be done by giving a picture of your spouse to the artist. However, if time does not allow this, you can purchase a fruit or flower themed painting from a local gallery or store.

* Some women love jewelry, so why not get your wife a fruit or flower charm for their charm bracelet. Maybe you can invest in some flower earrings or a necklace, instead.

* Prepares some chocolate covered strawberries for your spouse and take them on a picnic to a local park or your city’s local gardens.

* Perhaps your spouse loves wine. Research some fruity wines from other countries and get them a few bottles of fruit-inspired wines and cheeses.
