This can be a necklace or some glassware, which can be enjoyed with a romantic dinner at home. Couples who are on the 5th year usually offer an item made out of wood. The best thing to get made of this material is some piece of furniture. Sometimes, it is not really the gift that is important but the feeling or memories that it conveys.
