4th Anniversary
Four years in isn’t one of those milestones that gets talked up much. Year one is the newness. Year five has weathered-it-all bragging rights. But four years? Four years has had nothing thrown at it that you didn’t choose to let stick. Four years in and you’re still here means you’ve lasted past the honeymoon and the late starts on Tuesday evenings. If anyone deserves something awesome it’s you lot.
Traditionally speaking, the material gift for year four is fruit or flowers. Oh how we wanted to wring the heart out of that with a lazy interpretation but when you look at what those symbols mean that’s actually exactly what you should be buying. Fruit: happy things ripening together. Flowers: your relationship blooming in joyful colour. Nowadays people mark four years with linen and silk. Both feel luxe in a lived-in sort of way. You use them, they become yours.
We kept all of the above in mind as we went about the task of finding everything in this gift guide. We wanted you to pick something you’ll actually love, not just spend hours scrolling up and down looking for. We didn’t want grand. Four years is comfortable. Four years is quietly wonderful without having to prove itself. So we didn’t.
Instead we focussed on the little details. What does your partner really love? Where do they spend their time? What would actually make you want to say ‘I picked this specifically for us.’ Each product you see here has been considered with that last question in mind. If the answer to ‘would I be proud to give this?’ wasn’t a resounding yes then it wasn’t coming in here.
So now it’s over to you. Dive in and start exploring. You’ll find gifts that speak to the traditional anniversary symbols in smart and considered ways. You’ll find gifts that feel like they were made with a couple in mind who know each other so well they don’t need to talk. Everything here is special. We didn’t want to put anything in here that we didn’t think was worthy of celebrating four years. So if you’re after gifts for four years that actually feel like them then you’ve found your gift guide. Literally everything else is Christmas merch. We did the hard work so you don’t have to.
