Ideas and Presents

Ruby wedding gifts are given to couples who are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. Rubies are a prized gemstone, said to be rarer than diamonds. Their deep red colour makes them a symbol of passion, and therefore an appropriate wedding anniversary gift. Their name comes from the Latin word for red, 'rubens'.

Rubies are also the birthstone associated with those born in July and the star signs of Aries, Leo and Scorpio. Most rubies come from Myanmar (used to be called Burma ) and Thailand . They also symbolise freedom and vitality and are said to be good for colds, poor circulation and constipation. A gift of rubies is said to symbolize friendship and love, making them a wonderful gift for a wedding anniversary.

Not everyone can afford rubies so other gemstones that could be used instead would be garnets or carnelians. Instead of jewellery, consider buying presents that have ruby red as their theme. Red roses are the traditional romantic gift , or plant a red rose or red flower in the garden for an enduring reminder of your life together. A ruby wedding anniversary could be the ideal time to plan a trip to somewhere you have always wanted to visit.

A vintage bottle of red wine could be an appropriate gift for a couple to toast their ruby wedding anniversary together. There are stamps of Queen Elizabeth II's ruby wedding anniversary which are a good collectors' item. Memorabilia from the year the couple were married could make an interesting ruby wedding gift. Copies of newspapers from the day they were married are one option, or a coin dated the year they were married would be another.

Another idea would be to treat a couple celebrating their ruby wedding anniversary to a night out together. Theatre, ballet or opera tickets could be a nice present for those who are interested in music and the arts. Outdoor concerts are sometimes held at venues like Blenheim Palace in Woodstock .

Other ideas for ruby wedding anniversary celebrations would be to organize a picnic in a place of natural beauty or a day trip to a place of interest. Gift experiences are available for those who would be interested in a helicopter ride over London or a day out on a boat. A trip to the seaside could be fun depending on the time of year. Even in winter though, most seaside towns still have a fun atmosphere about them and a walk on a beach in winter can be very invigorating.
