"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Five years, that's a big one. It's when a lifelong relationship really hits its stride. You've built the foundation, the roots of your relationship, and now it's time to spend the rest of your lives growing and blossoming together. Whether that blossoming happens via dual-income travel and stays in the world's best hotels or by starting a family, that's up to you. Either way, we love it.

That said, there's always a question that comes up here: What are the symbols of a 5-Year anniversary? Wood and sapphire. Traditionally, it's wood, which symbolizes strength and the good roots your relationship is built on. A more modern adaptation is sapphire, which generally a stone of wisdom—honesty, truth, and loyalty follow suit there... Pretty easy connections to see.

And you might not care about a prompt. In which case, you can go read our general gift guides. We've got gift guides for men, husbands, boyfriends, wives, girlfriends, tech-y people, foodie people, and literally anyone else you could ever think of. But, if you want to keep it somewhat traditional, or if you just like the prompt of specific anniversary materials, this is the guide for you. We love playing around with the ideas of wood and sapphire gifts, so myself and our other gifting experts went out and found the 35 best gifts for a five-year anniversary. All of them have some sort of connection to wood or sapphire, but there's broad appeal within those categories. Take a look, find something that works, and go spend more time with the love of your life.

Compact Swivel Cheese Board with Knives

A multi-tier charcuterie board that swivels into a single compact triangle. It's easy to store, and every single guest is going to ask where you bought it.

End-Grain Cutting Board in Walnut

Nothing looks as good or lasts as long as a end-grain cutting board. Plastic cutting boards are bad for your knives, and contrary to popular belief, wood cutting boards are anti-microbial. But once again, they just look better than plastic.

Angled Cutting Board

If they'd prefer a cutting board that's more optimized, Material makes a great one. There's a crevice around it, so the countertop doesn't get soaking wet. And, one end is angled to make moving your chopped veg that much easier.

18 Year Old Batch Reserve

It spends most of its life in wood, so a nice Scotch counts as a wooden gift. Well, it counts in our book.

Model One BT

A bluetooth speaker with an old-fashioned wood-accented look is a great modern way to gift wood.

Black and Walnut Pool Table

Y'all are getting established and possibly getting those career upgrades you've been working towards. Sounds like the perfect time for a big new pool table.

Palo Santo Burner

Palo Santo would be a great gift, but it only cost $10... Add a cute handmade chimney incense burner, and you've got a winner.

Watch Collector's Box

For the watch collector, how about a beautiful wooden watch box.

Slim Dual Charging Pad

Fits the prompt, but it's also incredibly useful.

Compass Lighter

I'd recommend this as a gift for any guy, any occasion.

Andes Acacia Wood Platform Bed with Nightstands

A big, wood-forward bed is something you can both enjoy.

Bonfire

You burn wood in it, so it makes sense there. But, it's also just the best way to liven up your outdoor space.

Professional Cornhole Set

Tailgates, camping trips, and pool parties will be a lot more sick with some professional grade cornhole boards.

Gazebo Bird Feeder

What's more romantic than a watching the birds while you drink your Sunday morning coffee?

Feeder

Ok, actually we're more into this smart bird feeder. It's still got the homey wood accents, but you can each check out your customers via the Wi-Fi camera.

Double Pink Weeping Cherry Tree

The whole deal with gifting wood is that it symbolizes roots, the strong base you've built over these first five years. To that end, why not just gift them a tree?

This cherry tree is good for hardiness zones 4-9, which covers about 98 percent of the continental United States. It's easy to care for, and every spring you'll get the most incredible cherry blossoms.

Hinoki Wood Bath Mat

Hinoki wood, which comes from Japanese cypress trees, is considered sacred in Japan. The Citizenry partners with wood workshops in Okawa, Japan to make beautiful hinoki home goods. Our favorite is the sauna set, but it's chronically sold out. This bath mat is a close second.

Wooden Masu Sake Cups

Gifting for someone that loves spirits? Gifting for someone that loves Japanese culture? Get them a set of Masu cups. In Japan, you place a sake cup into one of these wooden bowls, and you pour sake until it overflows into the bowl. Towards guests, it's a gesture of generosity, but it's generally a symbol of prosperity.

Hinoki Fantôme

There's a ton of great woody scents out there, but while we're talking about hinoki wood, here's a woody scent that's based on the Japanese cypress.

Moondew Signet Ring, Blue Sapphire

Dainty gold jewelry is all the rage at the moment. If your lady is at all interested in what's trending in jewelry, Catbird is an easy choice.

Birthstone Baguette Ring

Gifting big jewel tones can be dangerous, but this baguette cut sapphire is sophisticated enough to fit most tastes.

Gemstone Bezel-Set Bracelet

Heartfelt and refined, just like her.

Sapphire Bezel Bracelet

If silver is more her tone, Brilliant Earth does a lovely silver or white gold sapphire bracelet.

Floating Sapphire Necklace Silver

White sapphires are a bit more muted, but we say they still fit the prompt.

Evil Eye Gemstone Charm Blue Sapphire

Put it on a gold necklace, and they'll love this funky little sapphire charm.

18-Karat White Gold, Sapphire and Diamond Earring

Not at all dainty, but they're not too statement-y, either. If you've got it, this is one that'll wow her.

Blue Sapphire Tennis Bracelet in 14k White Gold

The way sapphire pairs with white gold or silver makes it the perfect jewel to use in a tennis bracelet.

Evil Eye Cord Bracelet

You can even work sapphires into men's jewelry.

Woven Bracelet with Sapphires

The sapphires here remind us of stained glass, and we think that's beautiful.

Harnais de Coeur scarf 90

Jewelry is expected for an anniversary. An Hermès scarf with some jewel-tone blues? That's a bit of a swerve.

Emory The Elephant

Ok, now I'm starting to stretch the prompt. Emory the Elephant—personally, my favorite Hugimal—has a bit of a blue jewel tone to him.

Organic Ribbed Robe

Brooklinen's luxe kimono-style spa robe comes in a not-quite-sapphire deep blue. They'll love it so much, the color doesn't really matter.

TheraFace Mask

The blue light portion of the TheraFace routine—which kills acne-causing bacteria—is pretty sapphire-toned.

Signature Skillet

Technically, your sixth anniversary is your iron anniversary, but cast iron is an any-year romantic metaphor. It's forever lasting, like your love. Bonus points because Le Creuset makes a sapphire looking option.

Essential Cabin

It's not sapphire blue, but it's the best suitcase on Earth. So, they won't really care about the color.
