Five years of marriage is pretty special. Half a decade later you’re still in love and thriving, which is grounds for celebration.

Every year is a special year for a married couple, as it marks another 365 days of their union. However, each anniversary has its own special meaning, according to tradition.

The traditional fifth wedding anniversary is symbolised by wood. Trees have always represented strength and wisdom, making it fitting for this year of marriage. Rounding the five-year mark shows the durability of your relationship.

Here are some traditional wood gift ideas to give your partner:

– A wooden clock

– A jewellery box

– A wooden tree swing

– A framed picture of you two

– Serving bowls

– A rocking chair

– A personalised cutting/cheese board

– A puzzle

– A planter box

– A wooden map
