5th Anniversary gift suggestions anyone?

We usually stick to the "traditional" gift idea which is wood this year. Any suggestions? Our anniversary isn't until August, but I like to get a head start on it in case I decide to make something.

Thanks :)

We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And HOPE does not dissappoint.

    For our 5th anniversary gift DH wrote a poem; he figured out the days we had been married and wrote the poem based on that.   It meant a lot more to me than a gift he could have purchased.
