Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies." Quoted by: Aristotle

55th Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas for Him, Her, Parents and Grandparents

For the green-fingered, there is a huge range of gifts you can buy to incorporate the emerald, or at least an emerald or green-coloured theme.

If you are on a modest budget, opt for plants that will make an impressive impact and last year on year: perhaps a shrub, architectural plant or herb collection.

If you can spend a bit more, consider trees, either fruit or decorative, to provide an attractive splash of green to any garden or patio.

Alternatively, put together an "emerald" basket filled with gifts in shades of green, such as note cards, candles, green tea, and snacks and treats in green packaging. And add a card to wish them a "Happy Emerald Anniversary".

For Something Slightly Different

• Follow in the steps of Johnny Cash – at least some of them – and book a luxury boat cruise along the Shannon, Ireland's longest river and named after the Celtic goddess Sionna ("possessor of wisdom"). You might even see the mythical river monster Cata, which is described as having a horse's mane, gleaming eyes, thick feet, nails of iron and a whale's tail.
• If monster-watching is not exactly your thing, you could stay in Dublin and spend many chilled-out hours ambling around the city's 1,500 hectares of parks – with a few revitalising pub stops along the way.

The "7-38-55 rule" – a concept related to communicating emotions – states that 7% is through the spoken word, 38% tone of voice and 55% body language. So, no matter how you celebrate – and whatever anniversary budget you have available – an extraordinary gift is possible. It's all about communicating love.
