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.

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.
