Best Answer

Traditionally anniversaries have certain gifts, or symbols that represent specific years. The fortieth anniversary is the ruby anniversary. This is system is used varyingly today. You can celebrate the fortieth traditionally by adorning areas you will be celebrating in and give gifts that are ruby or ruby in colour. The colour ruby is used on the fortieth because rubies are thought to possess an eternal inner flame which is a symbol that the passion in a marriage is still very alive and strong after 40 years together.
