You\u2019re no longer newlyweds. This milestone marks 1,725 days of building a solid foundation for many happy years ahead. It\u2019s no coincidence that the traditional five-year wedding anniversary gift is wood. Trees soar to new heights, reach for the sun and grow roots deep into the earth. Trees are also strong, providing shelter from the rain, shade from the sun, and kindle that flames the fire. Whether you are giving a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gifts.com\/anniversary\/5th-anniversary\/ob6eCK\" target=\"_blank\">five-year anniversary <\/a>gift to your special someone or celebrating with a favorite couple, here are a few wood-themed ideas to make this milestone extra special.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Take a Hike<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Few things replenish the soul like the beauty of nature. Pack some cheese, crackers, fresh fruit and a bottle of wine, and explore a local hiking trail. Converse and connect without distraction (read: no phone, email or social media), and enjoy a scenic picnic alongside that perfect creek or in a meadow. You could even surprise that special someone with a fully stocked picnic backpack complete with dishes, cups and, of course, a corkscrew.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5746\" src=\"http:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/picnic-backpack-1024x781.jpg\" alt=\"picnic-backpack\" width=\"1024\" height=\"781\" srcset=\"https:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/picnic-backpack-1024x781.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/picnic-backpack-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/picnic-backpack-768x586.jpg 768w, https:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/picnic-backpack-315x240.jpg 315w, https:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/picnic-backpack.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>Plant a Tree<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Love starts as a seedling and blossoms into something much bigger. This year, plant a tree and watch it grow year after year. The tree will add beauty as it cleans the air around you. And who knows \u2026 maybe that tree will hold a tire swing for the next generation one day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Entertain in Style<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>If you have ever enjoyed a luau in Hawai\u2019i, you have a special appreciation for the beauty of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.personalcreations.com\/personalized-platters-pseplat\" target=\"_blank\">wooden serving platter<\/a> .
