A few things might have changed since you got married five years ago — maybe you moved to a new city, bought a house, or even had a baby. What hopefully hasn’t changed, though, is how much you love your spouse and enjoy spending time together. So when your fifth anniversary rolls around, you’ll want to get your husband or wife a gift that honors the special things you share — whether that’s hosting dinner parties, taking care of your plants, or simply enjoying your morning coffee together.
If you’ve been following the traditional anniversary gifts online guidelines, you know that the recommended five-year gift is wood. Here at the Strategist, we’ve covered lots of wooden things, and below we’ve rounded up some of our sturdy favorites that should last you through the next five years — and beyond. If you haven’t been married for five years, we also have guides for one-year and two-year anniversary gifts order; as well as ones for seven-year, 10-year, 25-year, and 50-year gifts if you’re looking ahead.
For the caffeinated couple
Chemex Ottomatic Coffee Maker
It doesn’t get much easier than this automatic Chemex pour-over machine recommended by writer Diane Chang. She says, “It has the reliability and old-school sex appeal of a Chemex, but the convenience of an automatic coffee maker.” Even though it’s high-tech, it has the same wooden collar as the original Chemex, which gives it a nice, handcrafted look.
For the couple who has a toddler
ECR4Kids Bentwood Multipurpose Kids Table and Chair Set
Aesthete parents who turn their noses up at brightly colored plastic toys will appreciate this bentwood playset that doubles as a coffee table. Writer Laura Perciasepe says, “it looks like something Herman Miller would make and charge a thousand dollars for.”
For the couple who has plant babies
Sona Home Adjustable Mid Century Plant Stand
For the couple with a bathtub
Haven Teak Bathtub Caddy
Made from water-resistant teak, this tray lets you prop up a tablet or book for reading in the bath, and even has a wine-glass holder. Writer Verena von Pfetten is a fan and says, “It makes me feel almost productive, even if all I’m really doing is lounging, drinking, and catching up on prestige television.”
For the couple with a home office
Tribesigns Computer Desk with Hutch and Bookshelf
If you and/or your spouse work from home, this wood desk with a bookshelf and storage hutch will likely make you feel more productive.
