40th Anniversary Gifts

7 candles

Married in 1986? This is your 40th anniversary — the Ruby wedding.

Candles in this collection

Forty years of marriage is a family landmark as well as a celebration for the couple. Ruby is the traditional symbol, its rich colour reflecting the love and warmth sustained across four decades. Grown children often help bring everyone together for the day.

Choose a heartfelt or gently light-hearted label for a soy wax candle that burns for more than 40 hours. For family-led ideas, explore 40th wedding anniversary gifts for parents and ruby wedding gifts for mum and dad. The ruby year follows 35th anniversary candles and leads towards 45th anniversary candles; Anniversary Gifts by Year gathers every milestone.
