Forty years of marriage is a proper landmark, and the ruby anniversary is usually a family affair: children grown, grandchildren arriving, and two people who have been each other’s constant through all of it. The gift should feel like a celebration rather than an ornament.
You’ll find keepsakes marked with their names, the date or a photograph from the wedding itself, alongside days out that get them away from the house and into something memorable. If several of you are buying together, a bigger experience often lands better than a shelf of separate presents.
You can also browse anniversary gifts by year, gifts for couples and hotel breaks.

Mark the year itself. The 40th Anniversary (Ruby) Wedding Day Chart Framed Print brings back the day they married in headlines, songs and prices, and the 40th (Ruby) Anniversary Keepsake carries the number and your own message in engraved glass. Both suit a party where the gift gets passed round the room.
The ruby anniversary borrows from the stone: deep red, hard-wearing, and traditionally said to glow from the inside, which is a generous way to describe four decades of marriage. Use it or don’t. A 40th (Ruby) Anniversary Photo Frame nods to the year, while Personalised Cut Crystal Wine Glasses simply give them something to toast with.
Something that gets them out for the day. Entrance to Blenheim Palace with Afternoon Tea for Two pairs one of England’s grandest houses with tea in the Orangery. Drive a Heritage Diesel Train is for the one who has talked about the railway since the children were small, with lunch for two included.
The one that carries a detail nobody else would know. A Personalised Diamante Vase With Etched Heart Design holds your message across four lines, then holds the flowers everyone brings. The Personalised Coat of Arms and Surname History Print - Gold Framed traces the surname that has been theirs for forty years.
