FAQ

• The traditional gift for a fifth anniversary is wood, which can mean wooden bowls, art, furniture, or a picture frame. When choosing an anniversary gift, the most important factors to consider are your partner's interests, likes, and dislikes, as well as shared memories of past trips, important milestones, and experiences.

• A thoughtful handwritten letter often means just as much (if not more!) than the most expensive present. Including a sweet note with whatever you gift your partner is essential, even if it's simple. Other inexpensive ideas include visiting the spot you proposed (along with a surprise picnic and a bottle of wine) or a special date night at home.
