Forty years together? That calls for something extraordinary. Give them a romantic dinner, relaxing getaway, scenic cruise, creative class, or adventure they can enjoy side by side. With thousands of experiences across the US, Virgin Gifts makes it easy to find 40th anniversary gifts worthy of this legendary milestone.

The ruby anniversary, with a twist

Ruby is the traditional symbol of the 40th anniversary, which is pretty fitting for four decades of love and partnership. But you don't have to wrap up a ruby and call it a day. Put your own spin on the tradition with something ruby-inspired, like a wine tasting, romantic dinner, or hands-on jewelry-making class. Or skip the theme altogether and choose an experience that feels unmistakably them, like a hot air balloon ride, couples' spa day, weekend getaway, or romantic sunset cruise.

Why experiences make thoughtful fortieth anniversary gifts

Four decades together is 100% worth celebrating, and an experience gives them a chance to add another chapter. Maybe it's a long lunch somewhere special, a weekend away, or something completely outside their usual routine. After 40 years, the best gift might simply be a good excuse to put everything else on pause and enjoy being together.

Anniversary gifting made easy

Your job: choose something they'll love. Their job: enjoy it. Pick an experience, add a personal message, and send their e-voucher instantly or schedule it for their anniversary. They can choose a date that works for them, and vouchers never expire, so there’s no pressure to squeeze their gift into one busy anniversary weekend. And if another experience catches their eye? Hassle-free exchanges make it easy to switch things up.
