Traditional 5th Anniversary Gift Ideas
You Can Make Yourself

You can buy wooden letters from craft stores and home stores, use these letters to spell out a message for your anniversary gift. It could be I love you, your initials or S 4 S or whatever your own initials are, it would be silly to use ours! You can decorate these letters with paper, photos of the two of you or paint them to show off your own personality.

More wooden letters and numbers ...

Wooden beads can also be used to make your 5th anniversary gift, it could be a necklace, bracelet, or use tiny wooden beads to make a ring, or even a key ring if your other half is not into wearing jewelry.

Think what else you could decorate with wooden beads. If you have ever tried macrame which is the art of creating with knots you will know that you can weave in wooden beads to your design, you could end up with a retro design or something more modern more ...

If you are wanting to make a larger wooden present then why not paint a sign?

Use a wooden board and paint, it could be a painting or one of those witty sayings that you see at gift stores, though this one will be personalized by you. Personalize your sign by adding the date and your initials, you could also have your wedding date.

Or how about this gorgeous wooden blackboard sign - "You have my whole heart for my whole life ..."
