Ringing in another year of wedded bliss is definitely something to celebrate. As you reflect on another milestone you and your spouse made as a couple, it’s fun to keep the tradition alive with the common traditional and modern anniversary gift themes. 

5th Anniversary

Traditional: Wood
Wood has been well-known as the traditional gift for your 5th anniversary, which means lots of room for handmade furniture, custom décor, and more.

  • If you and your partner love to go antiquing, then go on a hunt together for an antique dresser.
  • A monogrammed wooden serving paddle is great for holding your crackers and cheese, or other appetizers during a dinner party.
  • Hand-carved snack bowls are great for setting out candy, nuts, or serving snacks.
  • Wine barrels make for unique rustic décor, so find a table or tray with a wine barrel top to add to your home furniture.
  • Reclaimed barn wood shelves, stocked with your partner’s favorite books and baubles, will make a great gift in addition to lovely décor.

  • A personalized cake carving set is something your spouse will use over and over again for birthdays and special events.
  • Rose gold flatware is really on trend and creates a beautiful contrast to a holiday or dinner party tablescape.
  • If you received a beautiful set of silverware for your wedding, buy a few more sets of your wedding silverware to match.
  • New top-of-the-line grilling tools are a must for that partner who loves firing up the grill and cooking something delicious.  
  • A nice silver corkscrew accompanied by a favorite bottle of his or her wine is a thoughtful present your spouse will enjoy until the last drop.
