5th Wedding Anniversary Gifts

5th wedding anniversary gifts for your wife are traditionally made with wood and with this beautiful natural material there are lots of gifts that would be perfect to celebrate 5 years together.

The best type of anniversary gifts are beautiful and not necessarily practical! And with that in mind avoid looking at that new decking you have always wanted. Instead there are some beautiful wooden carvings that you could display outside or have pride of place in your living room. You could find a wooden sculpture of a couple entwined or think about what your wife really loves - apart from you of course, and find that in a wooden carving.

If you are the practical sort then look at making her something out of wood, it doesn't have to be a big piece, a box for her jewellery or a wooden pendant would both be beautiful and your wife will be touched that you spent the time making something for her.

For a gift that doesn't cost much but is filled with romance, take a walk through woods near you and take a picnic for you to enjoy. You can find wooden plates and bowls that you could use at the same time.

Another sweet idea is to have a tree planted to commemorate your 5th anniversary, it could be part of a new woodland or your own back yard, you will be able to watch it grow over the years just like your marriage.

Of course your 5th wedding anniversary is not just about wood, if you look at the modern anniversary list you are looking at silverware and here there are lots of special gifts, you could even have them engraved with your own romantic message!

Have a great anniversary!
