text: The traditional gift for the 5th anniversary is "wood". If you are traditional then you should keep that in mind.  While it may sound boring, you will have to be creative.\n\nSince we are talking "male" gifts here then consider his hobbies and interests.  Does he love auto repair, cars, hunting, fishing, camping, sports, reading, is he a couch potato? does he love the outdoors or indoor type things?\n\nWhile you may think an oak frame with YOUR picture is a perfect gift, believe me he will not think so.  It is the equivalent of you getting a blender or toaster from him!\n\nFor traditions sake lets say.......he hunts.....a gun cabinet is nice.\nFishing........ a lure kit, to make his own lures.\nSports.....locate a signed "bat" via local papers (forget Ebay)\nCamping.....plan a camping trip  \n\nFor a non traditional gift..............try\n\nA coupon book.  One you make up yourself.  Do it on the computer.  Make coupons called "Off the Hook" .  Husbands are always looking for ways not to take the trash out, do the lawn or clean the garage or to simply lay around.\n\nYou can add sexy coupons.....one free no obligation massage.\nOne night of total ME...all about HIM, dinner, sports, sex while he watches sports.\nOne coupon "you have to do anything I ask"\n\nAnd YOU can't complain if he turns in his coupon!\n\nBe creative!  \n\nAs far as purchaseing a gift for him..........you can always do him a favor and buy him some tickets to his favorite team.  HE gets to chose his guest.\n\nThe anniversary itself is about you both.  So plan that special dinner and night on the town or private dinner at home.  The "gift" to one another should say that I know you are an individual.\n\nGood luck and Happy Anniversary
