Are you celebrating your fifth-year anniversary, or are you attending a celebration at one of Lafayette Louisiana's Wedding Anniversary Venues?  Even more important, are you wondering which gift to give or exchange at this particular milestone celebration?  Below we have covered some of our favorites traditional, with a twist, 5th anniversary gits.

What is the traditional 5th-anniversary gift?

Tradition holds that a couple receives and gives a gift of wood for their 5th anniversary, symbolizing their union's strength.  A modern twist on this tradition is flatware, this also seems a little tricky when choosing a gift, but fear not - we've found some unique prospects for you to consider.  In addition,  the gemstone sapphire is also associated with a 5th anniversary, and as an extension - the color blue.

5-Year Anniversary Gifts for Them

Cutting board
Sound a little dull?  Clearly, you have not been shopping for cutting boards lately.  Today, cutting boards come in all variations of exotic and mixed wood designs, with ornate handles, and even custom engravings.

Engraved spoons
Were you considering a modern twist on the anniversary gift?  Consider gifting silverware even if the couple has a basic silverware set, what couple could not use an additional serving set for entertaining.  Then, there is the combination wood and serving ware – salad tossing set.  The set usually involves a large spoon and fork used for tossing the salad in dressing.  Today you can find these useful items in exotic wood, making the gift even more unique.

Rustic holiday decor
A simple wooden holiday ornament could prove the right addition to their holiday tree and make a beautiful heirloom for generations to come.  

Cocktail ware
While cocktail ware isn't exactly silverware, the addition of silver to stemware, shaker or a serving tray surely counts as a gift in the spirit of the celebrations.  If you prefer to be a stickler, consider cocktail mixing utensils such as tongs or a long mixing spoon.

Wine in a wooden box
A bottle of wine is almost always appreciated as an anniversary gift, by upping the ante with a wooden gift box you will have certainly given the nod to the tradition.

Cork holder
Another twist on the gift of wood is a beautiful cork holder - a shadow box.  Consider having it engraved with the couple's name and wedding date.  This can serve as an elegant way to display the corks from celebratory anniversaries. 

Coasters
Engraved wooden coasters personalized with the couple's initials offer an affordable yet personal gift for couples that entertain.  

Bottle opener
From friends, Mrs. to Mr., or vice versa – a customized wall mounted bottle opener could strike the right chord.  Especially for those couples that enjoy sports and entertaining. Doesn't everyone need a beer bottle opener near the bar-b-que pit?

Hammer
Sticking to tradition, who does not love a useful, if not practical gift.  Once again, you can personalize this gift by engraving the wooden handle with a quote about building your life together.  Very simple and yet super sweet.

Dock organization station
A wooden organizer is yet another practical gift nodding to the traditional gift of wood.  Perfect for stashing his belongings when you walk through the door, and for her a wooden keepsake box to place special gifts or jewelry. 

Wood carved figurines
A statue of a lovers embrace his or her favorite animal.  Our personal favorite with a node to the next generation is a wooden Winnie The Pooh.  

Jewelry
The whiskey barrel wooden watch has set off a huge trend in non-traditional jewelry gifts.  Now available from multiple vendors, these watches are available in exotic woods, even mixed woods, and every shade of wood you could desire.

Sapphire
Is the traditional stone given for the 5th wedding anniversary?  Your imagination and budget are the only things holding you back on this gift.  Do a simple search on your phone for sapphire gifts for him and her and you will see what we mean.  

Wind chimes
Is there anything more calming than the sound of wind chimes while relaxing in the backyard?  Beautifully arranged in varying sizes and décor, wooden wind chimes are a thoughtful gift to the couple celebrating their 5th year anniversary.
