Hello! And here I am again with you, and again with new thoughts and ideas on the theme of the holidays. Now I’ve decided to take on a very delicate topic: what to give my husband for his 5th wedding anniversary.
The topic is interesting, very important and valuable, since it is on such days that we can especially express ourselves and express to our other half all our love, loyalty, and of course thank our loved one.
I thought about this question for a long time, tried to formulate a plan, but everything that comes from the heart does not have graphs, diagrams or conventions, so I convey information from the heart. This means in simple and accessible language - the language of love.

By the fifth wedding anniversary, the married couple already knows all of each other's hobbies and preferences. Therefore, choosing a gift for such an event will not be difficult.

What do spouses traditionally give each other?
A tree is a symbol of life and longevity, fertility and prosperity. Therefore, if you believe traditions, spouses on this day must give each other something made of wood.
In ancient times, a husband gave his wife a handmade craft made from mahogany.
By this, the husband showed that he is the master of the house and knows how to handle wood. The wife, in turn, coated this product with varnish.
However, there is another tradition according to which the husband and wife must plant a tree together.
In winter, a young seedling can be purchased at a flower shop and planted in a new pot, and in summer it can be transplanted into open ground.
We celebrated our wedding anniversary with joy. Friends, relatives and acquaintances were invited. According to tradition, each guest must present a wooden item to the couple.
Gifts for children from parents
Parents, planning to congratulate spouses on their anniversary, should remember that the gift should be useful to both in everyday life.
Ideal options would be:
- Wooden clothes hangers;
- Bath set for two;
- Furniture for an apartment or a table with chairs for a country house.
Instead of flowers, you can choose a small flowerpot tree (a money tree is ideal) that will match the theme of the 5th wedding anniversary.
Friends
Friends, going to celebrate a wooden wedding, should remember what the spouses like to do in their free time, what they are interested in and what they dream about.
You can choose from:
- Sets of wooden dishes, frames for family photos, knife stands.

To make a gift look original, it needs to be beautifully packaged. It should be presented with words of warm congratulations and wishes.
On their 5th wedding anniversary, good friends give:

Self-made products:

An excellent inexpensive gift would be the number “5” made of plywood, which will remind the spouses of their wedding anniversary.
Cool (comic) gifts
To cheer up the spouses at least a little and add some zest to the celebration of the 5th wedding anniversary, guests choose something humorous and cool:
- Money tree made from small bills;

Unusual and interesting
If you really want to surprise a married couple with an unusual gift, then you can give them a certificate for a wood carving master class for two or a photo shoot.
You can book a hot air balloon flight, if your budget allows, or arrange a romantic dinner for them in a park or on the outskirts of a forest.
Practical and useful
If you want to give something more practical for your 5th wedding anniversary, then opt for tableware: plates, spoons, knife stand, cutting board.
An ironing board, a wooden chest of drawers for the bathroom, and shelves for small items would also be useful in the couple’s house.
However, before choosing something necessary for their family nest, you need to make sure that the spouses do not already have it.
What date is this?
The tree, a symbol of longevity, gives the name to this wedding . The couple's roots are intertwined, they are already like one trunk. The relationship took root, children (leaves) probably appeared.
If previous anniversaries can not be celebrated, then
a wooden wedding cannot be missed .
In the old days, on the fifth anniversary of marriage, the husband made a craft with his own hands, which the wife painted. Joint activity symbolizes unity and connection on a spiritual level. The product protects the marriage bond and is stored for the rest of its life. You should definitely invite the guests who were present at the marriage registration . It is advisable to hold the celebration outdoors or indoors with an eco-friendly interior. When decorating, hang a photo of the family in frames, branches decorated with ribbons. You can make a symbolic place for wishes (as your imagination dictates), on which postcards and notes from guests are hung.
One of the wonderful traditions of this day is that the family should plant a tree . Moreover, the type of seedling matters:
- oak – reliability and longevity;
- maple - attracts wealth to the family;
- birch is a symbol of fertility;
- Apple and cherry trees promise a strong bond between parents and children.
If there is no site, use a modern option - root a houseplant (for example, bonsai, myrtle, orange) into a new pot.
