I'm so baffled. The interweb is throwing up contradictions, so what's the consensus?

Traditional 4th Wedding anniversary in the UK.

Thanks!

Fruit & flowers!

Are you sure fruit and flowers aren't the US version?

Silk/linen in UK

Fruit/flowers in US

And apparently there's a modern version which is electrical appliances!
(promoting sales and unnecessary consumption?)

I think electrical appliances might be easier 😂

We did appliances that year.
I got a fabulous pizza oven.

I did consider some really nice wine as I felt that counted as fruit.

Margo34 · 01/10/2021 20:16

@SkinnyMirror wine definitely counts as fruit!

So my DH says he's definitely gone for Linen this year, and MIL who loves any excuse to give a gift is adamant that it's flowers and fruit.

Arghhh! Need something for next week, any ideas?

It's my 4th this year too and I think I'm gonna go for silk/linen and get silk boxers.
Bit naff but it's the only thing I can think of

Margo34 · 08/10/2021 09:15

Ah good idea, could try and find silk ones with fruit/flowers pattern to tick off the other options 😂 @ijustneedasleep
