Hello! My name is Victoria Ivanova, and I am the author of the article. I am very glad to see you on our website! I suggest you familiarize yourself with a large selection of interesting gift ideas.

Ask a Question

4 years of marriage - what kind of wedding and what to give? The fourth anniversary of a marriage is an important event for young spouses. On this day, you want to pleasantly please and surprise your soulmate.

What do you give for a linen wedding?

The closest relatives and friends are invited to the 4-year marriage anniversary. The celebration turns out to be warm and homely.

Standard gifts are gifts made from linen: napkins, tablecloths, curtains, bedding sets, clothes. Since a wedding has another name - a wax wedding, wax products are also suitable: candles, cosmetics with the addition of wax.

Traditional gifts

In order not to rack your brains over choosing a gift, you can use traditional ideas:

Linen clothing (T-shirts, dresses, suits, shorts, robe);
A linen hammock is a good option for those who have a cottage or home;
Linen blanket - this can be an original blanket with sleeves or an embossed photograph of the spouses;
Linen towels or pillows.

To my husband

What do you give your husband for a linen wedding? A wife can present her husband with linen clothing.

Or you can not adhere to traditions and buy something useful:

Necessary tools for home;
A bottle of elite alcoholic drink;
If he paints, then you can present him with canvas and paints;
The fisherman will love the set for his hobby, a new fishing rod.

It can also be modern gadgets: phone, tablet, e-reader.

Wife

The husband will be able to please his wife with the following things:

Linen clothing: dress, jacket, suit, blouse;
Cosmetics containing beeswax;
Decoration made of linen ropes;
Soft toy made from linen;
Flax flowers.

Spouses to each other

4 years is a long period. It is believed that after this anniversary, the spouses begin to have a stronger and more serious relationship.

A husband and wife can arrange a romantic surprise for each other. For example, it could be a surprise evening. A husband or wife can organize a romantic candlelit dinner with a glass of champagne.

But you shouldn’t limit yourself to just this. It is even better to add a material gift that will remind you of the anniversary.

Children from parents

Young couples don’t really know and follow traditions. Who else, if not parents, should remind their children about them.

Parents usually give linen products to their children:

Curtains;
Tablecloths;
Robes, pajamas;
Bed sheets;
Couple clothes (T-shirts, tracksuits).

To the young from friends

In ancient times, there was an interesting ritual when spouses were tightly tied to each other with many ropes made of flax.

If the lovers were unable to break free from the bonds, this meant that their marriage would not break up. Friends of the newlyweds will be able to find several of these ropes and create a festive, cheerful atmosphere.

But you still can’t do without a gift - for example, a gift for your 4th wedding anniversary could be:

Beautiful candlestick;
A photograph of them together, painted on canvas;
Photo album.

A standard and practical option is a linen tablecloth. If your budget allows, you can buy a whole set: tablecloth, chair covers, napkins.

DIY present

It is especially nice to receive a gift that you made with your own hands. This is how the donor invests his soul. If you have any talent, then you should definitely use it.

What to give for a linen wedding:

A painted picture;
A festive poem or short song;
Photo collage or video about the life of a married couple;
Floral composition complemented by flax flowers.

Original and inexpensive

If your budget is limited, then you should choose something original. Often the choice falls on decorative items: candlesticks, hand-embroidered pillows, linen paintings, soft toys, linen phone cases.

Cool (comic) gifts

The gift can be cool and even a little humorous:

100 reasons for love. A beautiful jar can be filled with small pieces of paper on which you can write one reason why you love your other half;
Bag of candy. The bag, of course, must be made of linen. An ideal gift for those with a sweet tooth;
Games 18+. A very interesting option that will allow spouses to have an interesting time;
Shirt-blouse. In ancient times, women gave such a gift to their husbands. Today it is considered a funny gift.

Unusual

If the spouses do not adhere to linen traditions, then you can consider more interesting traditions of other nations:

For example, in Germany they give amber products - amber paintings, amber beads.
The Dutch give gifts made of silk. An excellent option would be silk underwear, a scarf, a brooch made of silk and leather.

Interesting

It is not necessary that the thing be material. It could be something memorable.

A married couple can be given a certificate for a joint trip to the spa, a romantic horseback ride, a hot air balloon ride, or a trip to an amusement park.

This will give the couple an opportunity to be together once again and get pleasant emotions and impressions.

Practical and useful

In addition to flax, spouses are given something useful that will suit their hobbies:

Covers for chairs in the car or chairs in the house. Can be made from linen;
Wallets, bags, purses. A useful gift for both men and women;
Wall Clock. A classic gift for all occasions;
Set of tools. Should be in every home. It is considered a symbol of strong relationships.

General gifts for family

Many acquaintances, relatives or colleagues prefer to make gifts of a general nature that both spouses will use. They have a neutral and non-committal tone:

Set of linen bed linen;
Decorative pillows for the sofa;

Pillows for young people

Linen pillows
A set for family trips to the bathhouse/sauna, which includes linen sheets and hats;
You can order exclusive summer car seat covers. Such a gift will not be cheap - about 250-500 USD;

Car covers
Since flax is used to make not only fabric, but also food, a bottle of expensive flaxseed oil or a gift set of flax seeds would be a great gift for those who love a healthy lifestyle;
Skin care cosmetics are made from valuable flaxseed oils; for example, you can give a set of massage creams. The spouses will definitely appreciate it!

Bad ideas

Although the choice is endless, there are some ideas worth avoiding:

Money. Spouses and friends should not give a gift that does not in any way represent tenderness, care and feeling;
Gifts for yourself. Often spouses give each other things that are more useful to them than to their other half;
Useless trinkets;
Too expensive gifts. There is no need to bend the bar and give cars or necklaces with diamonds. It is better to leave such gifts for serious anniversaries.

It doesn’t really matter what gift is chosen for a linen wedding. A linen wedding gift should be given or chosen with love. In fact, the choice of gifts is huge, so there will be no difficulties.

Gifts from friends

A married couple naturally has true friends. Therefore, gifts from them should speak about some common impressions or serve practical purposes for a joint holiday:

A cool idea would be to order a poster (for example, with a photo of the newlyweds) on linen canvas (15-30 USD);

Photo of young people on linen canvas
A close friend can give her wife new curtains for her home or cottage - classic or Greek. You will have to spend money on them (130-150 USD);
Your best friend or colleague will please your husband with new linen blinds for the window in his office (50 USD);

Window blinds
Since the second name of a Linen wedding is also a Wax wedding, you can give a set of beautiful candles;
In keeping with the previous gift, a beautiful candlestick, crystal or forged, would not be out of place in the newlyweds’ home;
Also, a kit for making candles at home (30 USD) will be an original gift. Joint activities will bring spouses even closer together.

What bouquet to give for the 4th anniversary

As a rule, it is customary to bring flowers to a holiday. And the Linen wedding is no exception. In addition to the above-mentioned decorative flax flowers in flowerpots, you can present more traditional plants to the spouses. It is appropriate to give bouquets not of lush, pretentious and expensive flowers, but something simpler - daisies, tulips, gerberas, small garden roses, lilacs, etc. This is due to the fact that the marriage is still young and green, and therefore family life is still modest and not so rich.

Whatever gift you decide to present, whatever flowers you put together in a festive bouquet, do not forget about the most important thing - warm words and congratulations on the Linen Anniversary, which should come straight from the heart! You can write them in an SMS, on a postcard, or read them at the table in the form of a toast; they can be rhymed or not, multi-line and very short, but they will definitely be sincere and sincere!

Gifts from children

It may well be that within four years of marriage, the couple has already had a toddler, or even more than one. It would be great to give parents a gift from the younger generation as well:

Using flax seeds, glued to a piece of paper and painted with gouache, you will get an applique or even a postcard. But adults, such as a grandmother or uncle, should help the baby in this matter;
If the child is already talking, he will be able to read a congratulatory poem about the Linen Wedding to his parents or sing a song;
It’s easy to make prints of small palms and heels on linen canvas with paint, and place such a children’s picture in a frame.

Gifts from parents

Over the four years of family life, the parents fell in love with their son-in-law and daughter-in-law as if they were family, and therefore give thematic, necessary and such sincere gifts for the Linen anniversary:

With a linen towel embroidered by both mothers, you can tie the hands of the newlyweds at a festive dinner and perform a symbolic ceremony with wishes for further strong family relationships. Such a gift will be carefully kept as a family heirloom;
Kitchen towels and a linen apron will be useful for my daughter on the farm;
Since the Linen Wedding has another name - Rope Wedding, the father can give his athlete son a pair of ropes (50 USD) for Workout. Outdoor exercise will attract both the older and younger generations.

Cool gifts for spouses

Since the age of marriage is not yet great, and, therefore, the spouses are young, it’s time to fool around a little and make the holiday fun with the help of funny gifts:

Buy a large linen canvas and stretch it over a frame so that all guests of the holiday can leave their wishes, funny inscriptions and poems on it;
If somewhere near the newlyweds’ residence there is a field where flax is grown, then you can give a gift-impression - an excursion to such a blooming plantation;
A traditional cake does not have to be made with classic inscriptions, but it is better to ask the pastry chef to make a sweet gift in the form of a flax flower and write something cool on it to the delight of the young spouses;
It will be fun to find unusual glass bottles in the shape of bride and groom figurines and fill them with linseed oil. Such a present is not only original, but also useful;
In many hand-made workshops, they will be able to make custom-made stuffed soft dolls, sewn from linen scraps, that look like the heroes of the occasion;
In the immediate vicinity of the spouses’ home or work, you can rent a large advertising banner (50 USD). Place a photo of the newlyweds and a cool congratulatory inscription on the Linen wedding.
