Fed up With Giving Her Jewelry? Give Her a Piece of Land Instead for a 41st Wedding Anniversary Gift

No we’re really not joking. The theme for a 41 year anniversary gift is land. It’s understandable you may be feeling a little tired at looking for appropriate items of jewelry. And it could be that her jewelry box is full to overflowing. Especially after last year, when all her gifts revolved around rubies. So the good news for you is that this year the anniversary theme is land.

When you consider the word land refers to dry land, or the solid surface of the earth not permanently covered with water, that’s a whole lot of options, when you’re considering 41 year wedding anniversary gifts for her. How you choose to interpret the word is where the skill is involved. So let’s take a look at some of your options.

41st Anniversary Gift Ideas for Her

You don’t have to take the theme literally for her 41st anniversary gift

You might be in a position where you can buy her a new house, or a piece of farmland, but there are other options if you really want to stick with land for your theme. Why not take your spouse for a vacation. Somewhere you’ve never been before so she can enjoy seeing a new piece of land. Or it might be time for an overhaul of the back yard. So there is a beautiful place you can sit and enjoy summer evenings together.

Have you reached a stage in your life, when you are both thinking about downsizing? All your children have flown the coop, and it’s time for you both to enjoy some time together. Do you really want your wife to spend her retirement years dusting and cleaning rooms that never seem to get used? 41 years as man and wife and it might just be the perfect time to move somewhere smaller. Reduced domestic chores and far fewer responsibilities. What could be wrong about that?

We don’t think you’ll be able to surprise her with a new home without involving her in the choosing. But house hunting could be an interesting way to spend your 41st anniversary. Now you are both very close to retirement you might also want to consider a vacation home. Think of all those hours and days you can spend away from home, enjoying each others company.

Why not give her flowers for a 41st wedding anniversary gift?

Buying some land, a new home, or vacation home is obviously not going to suit everyone’s budget. So why not consider something far more low-cost? A garden related gift will be appropriate, especially as the theme for this year is land. Land includes earth and all it contains, and you should have some of that in your backyard. Flowers will be a meaningful 41 year anniversary gift for her.

You might decide to give her a large bouquet, or if she loves pottering in the garden, a plant for her to nurture will be welcome. Top the gift off with a personalized planter that has her name and a meaningful message. Does your wife have a favorite plant or tree? Then get her one of those instead.

Floral gifts are all well and good but their beauty is not as everlasting as the gift of a gold dipped rose. It is possible to give her a hand-picked rose that has been carefully preserved by coating in a precious metal, either gold, silver or titanium. The roses beauty is captured perfectly, and she’ll have it proudly displayed for many years to come. It may even become a family heirloom, and your love for her will be passed down through generations to come.

How about giving her some gardening tools that will enhance her time in the garden? It could be a tool that makes gardening much easier, and far less painful on the joints. Or a seat she can use to rest on when she needs a break from her hard work.

Give her the gift of a vacation for a 41 year anniversary gift

This year rather than buying her a piece of land, take her on a vacation and explore land you’ve never seen before. This will be a really clever way to incorporate the theme into your 41st anniversary gift for her.

It could be just a short break, somewhere rural, where you and your wife can enjoy getting back to nature. There are a number of beautiful National Parks, not just in America, but all across the globe. A few days, or better still, a few weeks will have you both feeling like a couple of new people.

After the excitement of last year, and your 40th wedding anniversary, your wife may be feeling a little sad that her 41st anniversary feels like an anticlimax. So make sure you put all your efforts into finding the perfect gift for her. We’ve given you a few ideas, but there just isn’t enough room to fit all of them on one page. And there are so many other options, if you’re not too bothered about sticking with a theme. Spend some time before the big day reading a few of our other pages, and you’ll get plenty more ideas for a 41st wedding anniversary gift for her.
