5th Anniversary Gifts - All Things Wooden

When looking for a gift for an anniversary it is important to remember that this gift will symbolise a milestone in two peoples lives and the gift should represent this.

If you are going to stick with tradition then a fifth anniversary gift would need to be something that contains wood. Wood does seem somewhat unexciting and you may find it hard to imagine a suitable gift made from wood that shows someone you love them but you may be surprised what is available.

Ideas For 5th Anniversary Gifts

By the 5th year of marriage any couple would have collected some wonderful photos of moments they have shared over the past 5 years, sending a fifth anniversary gift which contains these pictures will prove that you have not only thought about the gift you are sending but will also remind the receiver of some wonderful times.

These photos could be displayed in a wooden photo frame that could be personalised with engravings of names or you could create a form of scrap book with a wooden front and back, then you can display your photos with accessories showing moments you have enjoyed over the past 5 years.

Because flowers are traditionally given as a gift of love you may want to consider a wooden vase, because wood can be engraved you can customise the vase by having a poem or special message engraved onto it. Filling the vase with wooden flowers could also be the cherry on the cake and keeping the theme with the 5th anniversary tradition of wood.

If the gift you are looking for is for someone that has jewelry you may want to consider a wooden jewelry box, as an extra treat you could hide a beautiful pair of pearl earrings or a stunning diamond ring in the box for an extra special treat.
