5 Year Anniversary Gifts
10 Things to Consider When Looking for 5 Year Anniversary Gifts
Are you coming up on your 5 year anniversary, or know a couple who is about to? Here are the 10 things to keep in mind as you search for the perfect gift.
Think traditional
Each year comes with a traditional item that you give as a gift. Year 5? The gift is actually - wood! If you want to be traditional, get a gift that incorporates wood in it - maybe a picture frame, sculpture, or go big and get new hardwood floors in your house! See what we did there?
Or, go modern
If the wood isn’t really inspiring you (and we don’t blame you) consider going with the updated gift is silverware, which is a pretty specific gift idea. If you have been wanting to upgrade your set, this is the perfect time to do so!
Do your own thing
If you aren’t feeling a new silverware set or something made from wood, that is perfectly fine. Don’t feel like you have to stick to tradition. That can serve as great inspiration, but it isn’t your only option. The sky's the limit!
Time for an upgrade
Is there something you both got together when you first got married? Maybe it wasn’t the best, but you both said, “it’ll do for now.” Now is over! It is 5 years later, why not upgrade and get something nice? Whether it is a kitchen appliance, bedding set, or piece of furniture, this is a great milestone to start upgrading pieces that you started out with.
You can’t go wrong with jewelry
When in doubt, go with a nice piece of jewelry as a nice gift. Consider making it more relevant this year - why not engrave the piece with your wedding date? You can make a gift that is more common and make it personal and it serves as an equally perfect gift!
Go back in time
Any milestone is a time to reflect and think back on all of the good times you have had. That can be great inspiration for a gift, especially for a 5 year anniversary!
Whether it is a photo from when you first met or something from your wedding day, those are wonderful moments to think back on. Why not get a new image from your wedding printed and framed?
Renew your vows
Looking to go big for your 5 year anniversary? Why not renew your vows? This is a great way to celebrate your milestone and will give you memories that will last a lifetime! If your life has gotten busy over your first 5 years of marriage, this can be a great way to reconnect and focus on why you got married in the first place. Sometimes, the gift of an experience is better than any physical gift you could give!
Don’t be too practical
You may upgrade some pieces of furniture for a gift and that is great, but don’t get anything that is too practical! Let’s face it- a new vacuum doesn’t really scream romance! Save those types of gifts for another occasion. Your 5 year anniversary is all about showing your love for your partner, focus on that and only that!
Be romantic
When you have a milestone event like your 5 year anniversary, now is the time to be super romantic.
Add a personal touch
Don’t just wrap up a nice gift and give it to your spouse, make it more personal! Buy a card and actually write in it (and more than just ‘Happy Anniversary’)! This is a big moment in your life and is deserving of something personal like a card or written note.
Write about your favorite moments thus far in your marriage, your hopes for the future, or whatever comes to mind! This is certainly something that your spouse will hold onto forever.
Celebrating a Romantic Milestone
Anniversaries are a wonderful time to reflect back on the year you’ve had with your spouse. In the case of a 5 year anniversary, you can reflect on the 5 wonderful years you have shared. Maybe you have moved, started a new job, or started a family. No matter what, you have certainly shared a lot of wonderful times together. There is nothing more worthy of celebrating than love. Your 5 year anniversary is your first major milestone (outside of your 1st anniversary) that is really deserving of something special.
Figuring out the right gift to get for your spouse can feel like a challenge. The desire to get them something they will love is certainly there, but how do you make the right choice? That is where we come in! We have curated this list of gifts that are all perfect to give for your 5 year anniversary. Whether you decide to be humorous, sentimental, or completely romantic, we have thought of it all!
