Time flies when you're in love. And while it feels like you blinked and now you're celebrating your fifth wedding anniversary, there's so much to celebrate from this special chapter in your life as a couple — new beginnings, happy endings and everything in between. Five-year anniversary gifts are often made of wood, and while there are plenty of modern spins on the tradition, we've rounded up a bunch of unique wedding anniversary gift ideas for couples who want to find inspiration on their own terms, too.
"For the couples that find romance in the fact wood symbolizes an enduring relationship, a beautiful wooden frame with one of your favorite couple photos is sure to be cherished," Allison Cullman, registry and etiquette expert at Zola tells Yahoo. "A five-year anniversary is also a great time to spruce up your home with a new piece of furniture or a new, sharper knife set." Of course, the more meaningful the anniversary gift, the better. "Whatever gift you choose, make sure it shows who your person is, not just a gift for holding onto tradition," Cullman adds. From personalized gifts for the happy couple to sentimental jewelry for her and practical buys for him, these anniversary presents are the perfect way to commemorate five years of wedded bliss.
In this guide, gift ideas are broken up into the following categories: Traditional 5-year anniversary gifts | Best 5-year anniversary gifts for her | Best 5-year anniversary gifts for him | Best 5-year anniversary gifts for couples
Amazon Kindle is the cream of the crop in the e-reader department, but if you were to ask our tech editor Rick Broida (I did, by the way), the 11th-generation Paperwhite is actually the best there is. It has a larger screen than the baseline Kindle, a "warmth slider" for nighttime reading and up to 10 weeks of battery life — need I say more?
The Hatch Restore 2 Sunrise Alarm Clock is here to make waking up more enjoyable (a hefty claim, we know!). And it's currently marked down to the most affordable price it's been all year.
This gadget is a clock, sound machine and smart light that supports natural circadian rhythms and can help wake you up with a gentle sunrise-inspired light. It even earned a coveted spot on our list of the best sunrise alarm clocks on the market.
One very pleased customer shared: "After hearing my coworker rave about her Hatch for months, I finally decided to give it a try—and I'm so glad I did! The meditation options are wonderful and help me fall asleep fast, which has been a game-changer for my bedtime routine. Waking up to the gradually brightening sunrise feature is such a pleasant experience; I no longer dread waking up in the morning."
Many couples-focused games are boring or overly cheesy. This one is actually fun. It's packed with 150 cards asking things like "Which celebrities would we cast to play us in a movie?" and "What's the weirdest way that we show our love?" It's a good time, no matter which anniversary you're celebrating. Play it by yourselves or invite other couples and pretend you're on The Newlywed Game.
