(Note: Below you'll find gift ideas for wedding anniversaries #4 through #8. If you haven't yet seen ideas #1 through #3, we suggest you click here for this page of
anniversary gift ideas first.
Gift Ideas for Wedding Anniversaries #4:
Relax in the backyard.
How about a gift that few people buy for themselves... but almost everyone would love?
A hammock.
If the couple lives in a house with a backyard, a hammock makes a great gift. You can find 'dangerously comfortable' hammocks at very competitive prices at
Hammocks.com. Their slogan says it all: "Accomplish nothing." <g>
Or, click here if you prefer to choose from a handpicked selection of relaxing
porch swings, gliders and chair swings. Or, perhaps you want to give a unique and much appreciated gift of
wind chimes -- here's a wonderful selection at great prices.
Gift Ideas for Wedding Anniversaries #5:
A picnic basket.
Picnics can be incredibly romantic -- and a picnic basket is one of the best anniversary gifts.
You can either buy a fully equipped picnic basket, or buy the components. Click here for a good selection if you want the
fully equipped picnic basket (and then just type picnic basket or picnic backpack in the Search box at the top of the page).
Or you can do it yourself and buy a large wicker picnic basket and equip it with plastic or ceramic plates and bowls, cutlery, corkscrew, salt and pepper shakers, cloth napkins, tumblers and heavy glass stemware (or even better,
unbreakable polycarbonate plastic glasses and stemware or a somewhat more expensive set from
Hammacher Schlemmer -- just type unbreakable in the search box).
Use the remaining cash to buy some excellent picnic food at your favorite gourmet market (or consider the gourmet gifts we're suggesting for other Anniversary Gift Ideas).
Gift Ideas for Wedding Anniversaries #6:
Games people play.
Consider a deluxe or customized version of a game or puzzle that you know the couple enjoys: chess, Scrabble, Yahtzee, Clue... or any other game under the sun.
In fact, you can even get customized versions of Monopoly including Spiderman, I Love Lucy, National Parks, a Star Trek edition, a NY Yankees edition... and many more.
Visit
USAopoly and
Spilsbury for lots of great ideas.
Gift Ideas for Wedding Anniversaries #7:
Gourmet food.
Looking for something really unusual? Try a
Lobster Gram Deluxe Dinner for Two. Live Maine lobsters, reusable cooking pot, accessories -- everything needed for a fresh, romantic lobster dinner!
Or how about gourmet pasta and sauces? The
Flying Noodle has lots of great -- and unique -- options to choose from!
For example, one excellent choice is the Pasta Club. You'll get eight to 10 meals per month -- all designed to be on the table in 15 minutes or less. And, you can get a three-month Pasta Club membership -- including shipping -- and still have some of your $100 left over.
Gift Ideas for Wedding Anniversaries #8:
Mementoes.
Why not take a photo (or photos) from the couple's past (wedding, honeymoon, vacation) and enhance it in some way?
Consider getting black and white photos hand-colored or cropping and enlarging a favorite photo on the
Kodak Picture Maker (Find out where the nearest machine to you is).
The Kodak Picture Maker doesn't require a negative and it's simple and quick to use. After enlarging the photo get it professionally matted and framed. The
Kodak site has some excellent ideas for other ways to turn photos into gifts.

Ofoto website for even more great anniversary gift ideas.
