40th Anniversary Gifts for Friends

Friends of yours have been married forty years and you want to mark it? You're in the right place. It's the ruby wedding, and there's a straightforward 'happy ruby wedding anniversary' that says so on the front.

Want something with a smile in it? 'Still having a hoot after 40 years' is fond rather than teasing, which matters when it is someone else's marriage. Prefer the number on its own? A plain 'happy 40th anniversary' does the job neatly.

Their anniversary party, the meal you are all going to, or a card being signed by everyone. Have a look and pick the one that suits them.
