Great Ideas for a 5th Anniversary Gift

Five years of marriage is quite an accomplishment for a couple. This means that they have made it through that first few years of just getting to know what life is like with one another, and that they have toughed out all the problems that have come their way so far. If you know a happy couple that will be celebrating their five year anniversary, it is important that you can give them a gift that is sweet and says congratulations on your achievement.

Each wedding anniversary typically has a common type of gift that is given (gold, silver, wood, etc.) and they have a symbol. A traditional wedding gift for a fifth anniversary is typically made of wood, however if you are looking for a more modern gift silverware is recommended.

Depending on the couple and their like and dislikes it will help you decide what form of gift will suit them best. Whether you choose to go with a traditional wood gift or a silverware gift there here are some suggestions:
Wood gift (traditional)
Wood carving
Bonsai plants
Wood furniture piece
Wooden table centerpiece
Silverware (modern)
Silver candle snuffer
Table ware
Corkscrew
Silver engraved wine glasses

These are just suggestions and in no way are the only gifts that can be given to a couple on their fifth anniversary. If you are close with the couple there might be something you know they need. These gifts are just a few that can be given if you are close with the couple that is celebrating their anniversary:
Home appliance

An offer to babysit

If you and your significant other are celebrating your five year anniversary a congratulations is in order! Five years is an accomplishment and should be celebrated together. There are many ways in which a couple can make this special day romantic. If you are the husband who is celebrating his 5 years of marriage here are some gift ideas to consider for your wife:

Keep in mind that these are suggestions and that when you are celebrating your five year anniversary there may be other gifts that are appropriate for your loved one. If you are looking for other gift ideas for your anniversary a few months prior to the special day, start listening to the needs and wants of your spouse. Unsuspectingly they might let it slip that they want a new television or a night out on the town. While this is not the traditional gift that is associated with a wedding anniversary it is important to let your spouse know you listen to them and seek to meet all their wants and needs in life.
