Separated for Anniversary

These are some great ideas! My husband is deployed this year, do you have any suggestions for a 4th anniversary "package" to be mailed??

Flowers Fruit

I took the somewhat traditional and sent flowers to him at the office. For fruit, I bought him a single share of Apple stock. He loved it!
—Guest Rachel

The Big Apple

I think a great idea would be a trip to the Big Apple of NYC!! With 4 long stemmed red roses and champagne in the hotel!

Memories

A photo for each year in a nice frame. Touching letter of memories made, to be open by the song you fell in love to.

Photos and Written memories or a Song

Make a mini collection of pics when you got married plus every year after, write a note of the memories you've made so far and a wish list of things to come. Make them open this letter to a song that both connected you and made you fall in love. Then sit back and watch how heart moving simple memories over take that person and bring them back.

Fruit Allergies

My husband is allergic to almost all fresh fruits so I got him an APPLE pod;)

4th Anniversary Gift Idea

Trip Idea

We took a trip to the Big Island of Hawaii. We went to a Luau for dinner and had plenty of fresh fruit for dinner and got flower lei's. Not to mention that Hawaii is a great place for flowers and fruit.
—Guest Jen

Idea

Glass flowers that will last forever. Real flowers aren't as special.
—Guest julie

Cake

I needed something cheap, so I made my husband's favorite dinner and for dessert we had cake with his favorite fruit inside. We topped it of with apple cider in champagne glasses.
—Guest Cynthia

Flowers Made of Fruit

Edible arrangements are pretty much perfect! You get flowers made of fruit and they're beautiful!
—Guest Laura

Fruit Flower Idea

Our anniversary ended up at the cottage so for the idea that I am doing is going for a picnic and pick wild flowers, make a small camp fire for chocolate fondue with fruits -- all by that lake side. I'm sure my wife would like this.
