The traditional and modern gift for the 45th wedding anniversary is sapphire. These gems can be pretty expensive. I suggest sticking with a sapphire colored themed gift to make the impact on your pocket a little less. Remember that sapphires come in blue and pink. Regardless of your relationship to the couple, there are many good gifts that you can buy that stick with the traditional theme.
The travel industry has also made their own list of anniversary gifts. The travel gift for the 45th wedding anniversary is a cruise. If this is what you want to give the couple, it will save you some money if you get a few other people to pitch in with you to give a collective gift.
I do most of my shopping on line so I will focus mostly on gifts that can be purchased on line.
PoetryGift.com has some great gifts for the 45th wedding anniversary. They can be found on their web site or by phone at (847) 705-0754. They offer a wide variety of shipping options including free 7 day delivery, overnight delivery, free shipping to military addresses and international shipping. All of their products come with a 30 day guarantee and return policy. The cost of gift wrapping and shipping is not included in the guarantee.
The Personalized Music Frame is my personal favorite 45th wedding anniversary gift on this site. It is a clear acrylic frame that is free standing. It has a beautiful watercolor on it that features blue flowers. There is a poem that is written on it. If you do not like the poem, you do have the option of writing your own poem. You also get to choose one of 13 songs to further personalize the gift. It is $49.99 if you use their poem or $59.99 if you write your own poem.
If you decide that a cruise is the best 45th wedding anniversary gift, I suggest you book a cruise with Royal Caribbean. You can tell them that this will be the couple’s 45th anniversary cruise and they will help you to plan some special events for the couple. The prices vary depending on the dates of travel, the destination chosen and the type of room booked.
The Royal Caribbean site has a lot of wonderful information to help you find the best possible cruise for the couple. You can also call them at (866) 562-7625 to speak with a customer service representative who can help you to make your cruise choice.
If you do not want to book a cruise for the couple, you can always work with a travel agent in your area. The way to do this is to contact the travel agent and let them know that you want to pay for the cruise for the couple but, you want the couple to make the arrangements. If you do this, it is very important that you let the travel agent know the amount you are willing to spend. If the couple wants to go over that amount, the travel agent can arrange for them to pay the difference. To present a gift like this, I suggest giving the couple a card with an appointment in it to go see the travel agent.
A unique gift suggestion for the 45th wedding anniversary is a family birthstone tree. You can have one made from Birthstone Tree. These personalized plaques feature your family tree complete with names and birth dates. Beside each birth date is that month’s birthstone. These trees start out at about $100. It is important to order these early since they are totally hand made and completely personalized.
If the couple celebrating their anniversary loves animals, consider giving them a blue puppy. Before you go off searching for one, be sure to check with the couple to make sure that they are not allergic to animals and that they will be able to properly care for the puppy. Adopting a puppy is one option or if you want a dog that is pure bred, consider searching on line for one. Puppy Find is a good place to start.
A flower bouquet is a lovely gift for a couple celebrating their 45th wedding anniversary. Pro Flowers has a beautiful Anniversary Bouquet. It starts at $49.99. They also have a Hugs & Kisses bouquet that starts at $69.99. I like this one because it has 20 blue irises and 20 red tulips. I suggest having the bouquet shipped to you and then adding a gift card or gift certificate for dinner at a favorite restaurant. Once the flowers are wilting, they can be dried and made into potpourri so the gift can be remembered even longer.
If you favor giving sapphire jewelry, consider matching his and hers sapphire rings or watches with sapphire accents. Your local jeweler is the best place to start your search. Many jewelers can custom make matching items so that you can be sure that the couple will not see anyone else with a set just like theirs. This is often a fairly affordable option. The prices will vary widely depending on the size of the stone and the details you want.
For a gift that will be remembered forever, consider sending a message in a bottle. Timeless Message has some really nice messages that they put inside of a bottle that you choose. The prices start at $29.99 plus shipping. The messages that they have are really nice and well written. They personalize the message with the recipient’s name and your name. They have a lot of bottles for you to pick from including some for police, fire and military service.
Lastly, if the couple likes to give donations to certain causes, consider giving a donation in their name to their favorite charity. This gift can be presented in a blue envelope to keep up with the sapphire theme. Our Voices Together has a lot of charities that you can donate to or you can choose to donate the money but let the couple decide what charity will benefit.
Just remember that no matter what you give the couple, make sure it is meaningful and from the heart.
