Why wood at five years
The traditional list grows stronger year by year: paper, cotton, leather, fruit and flowers, then wood. Five years is the first anniversary with a material that is solid and lasting, and that grows from something living.
Wood gift ideas
- A carved or engraved keepsake box with your wedding date.
- A tree planted together.
- Furniture made to last: a bench, a bookshelf, a cutting board for the kitchen you share.
- A framed artwork in a wood frame: a Galaxy Origins print of the real galaxy overhead at your wedding, in a black wood box frame.
