45th wedding anniversary: sapphire
A sapphire is the color of deep water and so hard that it’s very difficult to scratch. After forty-five years together, small arguments don’t leave a mark on you anymore, and you know each other so well that a single look is often enough. That kind of calm takes a lifetime to build.
45th anniversary gift ideas

How to spend the day
Spend a few days by the Baltic in the off-season, when the beaches are empty. Walk the shore slowly, hunt for amber to give the grandkids, and have fish by the harbor in the evening.
Tradition
Sapphire and ruby are the same mineral, corundum. Only the red kind is called ruby, and every other color is sapphire, which is why there are yellow, pink and even green sapphires.
