Five years is the first \u2018big\u2019 wedding anniversary marking half a decade married, and frankly, we think that\u2019s a good excuse for some awesome presents.<\/p>\n
But let\u2019s be real, not all of us are great gift-givers, are we? Not to worry, because here at thortful, we\u2019re pretty much pros in that department and have come up with some fifth wedding anniversary gift ideas for you.<\/p>\n
The five year wedding anniversary is marked by the traditional gift of wood, symbolising durability, growth, and strength.<\/p>\n
It might not be the most exciting of materials, but there are some lovely wood anniversary gifts for your spouse. And wood-n\u2019t<\/em> you like to find the perfect wood anniversary gift? We\u2019re sorry. No, really. We\u2019ll see ourselves out.<\/p>\n Bad puns aside, if you\u2019re looking for inspiration for wood wedding anniversary gifts for your spouse, or for a special couple who\u2019ve just hit their fifth wedding anniversary, then we\u2019ve got you covered with our guide to some thoughtful five year anniversary gifts.<\/p>\n Buying gifts for guys can be hard work (we all know it\u2019s true). But the wood theme for your fifth wedding anniversary can help to spark some great ideas \u2013 here are a couple of great suggestions for wood anniversary gifts for him.<\/span><\/p>\n If your husband can often be found in the kitchen creating culinary showstoppers, then pick wood anniversary gifts for him that are going to help in his quest to become an amateur chef. How about a beautiful gift that will take pride of place on your countertop, like a custom cutting board? We like<\/span> this personalised engraved cutting board from Personalised Gift Box<\/span><\/a>. Useful, stylish, and bang-on theme? You\u2019re welcome.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Not the usual suggestion for a gift, but we think this could be a really great fifth wedding anniversary gift – and it\u2019s definitely sticking to the \u2018wood anniversary\u2019 theme. If your husband loves a bit of DIY in the house or enjoys working with his hands, sign him up for a woodworking course. <\/span>He can carve, whittle and sand to his heart\u2019s content – and you never know, it could spark a passion for a fun new hobby. <\/span><\/p>\n A hobby that would also be <\/span>ideal <\/span><\/i>for when you need a new set of shelves. That\u2019s what we call practical present-giving. <\/span>Craft Courses UK<\/span><\/a> has a list of upcoming workshops you can book as a gift.<\/span><\/p>\n Cufflinks are always a great gift idea for men, but if you\u2019re looking to opt for something a little more unique (and want to keep things in line with the wooden theme) you could get these engraved 5th<\/sup> anniversary cufflinks courtesy of The Gift Experience<\/a>.<\/p>\n Plus, next time he\u2019s suited and booted for a special event, he\u2019ll get all sorts of compliments on them!<\/p>\n If you always find your husband pottering around the house or in the garden \u2018fixing\u2019 things (or at least that\u2019s what he says) then a personalised wooden hammer would make the perfect wood anniversary gift for him.<\/p>\n Now he can go about tinkering like he\u2019s a real handyman. We\u2019d just maybe recommend keeping a close eye on what he\u2019s messing with in case it goes wrong, is all.<\/p>\n Wood might not sound like the most romantic material for a gift for your wife \u2013 and it might feel a bit lacklustre when you compare it to the sparkling heights of silver, gold or ruby anniversaries when you can get <\/span>really <\/span><\/i>blingy with the gifts. But you might be pleasantly surprised at some of the thoughtful wood anniversary gifts for her \u2013 here are just a couple of our best ideas.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Sweep your wife of five years off her feet with a trip to a romantic, secluded log cabin. It\u2019s wood-themed but definitely a lovely twist on the usual presents she might be expecting \u2013 and she\u2019s sure to be delighted to have some dedicated time just the two of you. If you can swing a log cabin with a hot tub for a romantic night under the stars, then frankly, we think you\u2019ve won your fifth wedding anniversary.<\/span><\/p>\n You could just get your wife a wooden jewellery box or a music box, but you only get to celebrate five years together once \u2013 so go one step further with a sweet gift that\u2019s filled with memories. Gather together keepsakes from your years together, like cinema tickets, photographs of the two of you, trinkets from holidays together, confetti or champagne corks from your wedding, and arrange them in a beautiful wooden box. <\/span><\/p>\n You can find some beautiful personalised wooden keepsake boxes \u2013 we like this pretty botanical box<\/span> from Sunday\u2019s Daughter<\/span><\/a>. Your wife is sure to be speechless when she opens this beautiful and thoughtful fifth wedding anniversary gift.<\/span><\/p>\n Why not make your wife feel like a true queen on your anniversary with some breakfast in bed served on a rustic wooden bed tray.<\/p>\n Whether you go all out and whip up a full English or quickly pull together something from what you have in, this wooden bed tray is part of a perfect way for her to wake up making it a great fifth anniversary gift. (Not only that, but it most definitely falls within the wooden material category we might add.)<\/p>\n Okay, okay, so we get that this is sort of a loose link to make but if you know that your wife enjoys a lovely smelling perfume then a sandalwood option is a great fifth anniversary gift idea for her. There are honestly so many to choose from at all sorts of price points including Chanel\u2019s Coco and Le Labo\u2019s Santal 33.<\/p>\n Gifting anything to two people is a bit of a headache \u2013 finding something they\u2019ll both like, that won\u2019t stick out like a sore thumb in their home or end up relegated to the attic? Nightmare. But fear not \u2013 we\u2019ve racked our brains and scoured the internet to come up with some fabulous five year anniversary gifts for couples.<\/p>\n A tasteful bit of wall art is bound to go down well \u2013 choose wisely, and you might even make it into a coveted spot on the living room wall.<\/p>\n And as far as prints for 5th wedding anniversary gifts go, you can\u2019t go wrong with this stylish choice from\u00a0Design by Eleven<\/a>. This smart design with five slices of wood symbolises five years of memories, it can be customised to make a special gift, and the smart minimalist design will look great on any wall.<\/p>\n A special anniversary calls for something sparkling – and we can heartily recommend a bottle of sparkling wine from our friends at Nyetimber,<\/a> available with any card from thortful. <\/span><\/p>\n But if you\u2019re looking to really nail the \u2018wood anniversary\u2019 theme, then find a wooden box you can have engraved and present a bottle of bubbly to the happy couple – <\/span>Getting Personal<\/span><\/a> has a lovely customisable option. For bonus \u2018oh, you\u2019re so thoughtful!\u2019 points, make sure you buy the same brand that was served on their wedding day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Does the couple in mind enjoy entertaining and having people over often? If so, then some wooden coasters are not only on theme, but are practical too!<\/p>\n These days is there anything better than a present that you can actually use and don\u2019t have to worry about whether it\u2019ll be regifted or not. For some inspiration on what sort of options you can pick from just take a look at these quirky wooden button coasters from Sass & Belle<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for something a bit different, why not treat the couple to a charming wooden chess set. This is a great fifth wedding anniversary gift (especially for those that are a bit more introverted) as it gives the couple something to do on weekends and cold nights and really is a true test of logic. They won\u2019t be able to stop playing on their journey to becoming a \u2018grandmaster\u2019 of the game.<\/p>\n Accompany your thoughtful wood anniversary gifts with a perfectly thortful card to match!
