Traditional Anniversary Gifts: Anniversaries 41-50

Traditional anniversary gifts are rarely given these days. Following the guidelines of traditional anniversary gifts can be a creative way to give your anniversary gifts each year. Most of the gifts listed in the span of anniversary years are "modern" traditional gifts, except for the 50^th anniversary, which is one of the most well known anniversaries to celebrate with a specific gift. Here are the traditional gifts for anniversaries 41-50.

41^st Anniversary: Land. Land is the traditional gift for a 41^st anniversary. If you don't plan to buy a new home for the anniversary gift, try purchasing a great vacation so you can really see a new "land." Or you could provide natural gifts such as plants or trees, or even pottery and ceramics made from clay which was once land.

42^nd Anniversary: Real Estate. Real Estate is the traditional gift for the 42^nd anniversary. Again, if you're not in the market for a new home, you have to get creative with this one. Consider going on a vacation where you tour a time share (no one says you have to buy!). You could give a specialized Monopoly game; versions are available now for any interest. If your spouse enjoys decorating for the holidays, perhaps you could purchase her a lovely Christmas village set.

43^rd Anniversary: Travel. Travel is the traditional gift for a 43^rd anniversary. Indeed vacations are a great option for this anniversary. New luggage, a great handbag, or other traveling needs would also be appropriate gifts.

44^th Anniversary: Groceries. Groceries are the traditional gift for a 44^th anniversary. This may be the funniest of all the traditional anniversary gifts. Exotic imported chocolates, high-end coffees, or other specialty foods can make this odd traditional anniversary gift just as special as the others.

45^th Anniversary: Sapphire. Sapphire is the traditional gift for a 45^th anniversary. Sapphires come in all colors but are mostly seen in royal blue. Jewelry can be purchased or anything with a lovely sapphire color.
