Traditionally, the 5-year anniversary gift is made of wood, or has a woodgrain theme. That said, it's not your only option—and like to break the rules when the time is right. The modern riff on a 5th year anniversary gift is silverware—and there are plenty of trendy options to shop to update your flatware or add to your current set as a gift you'll both enjoy. With that in mind, no matter what you choose, be sure to celebrate your love in style and opt for something you'll enjoy thoroughly as you spend more time at home.

From home decor, trays, and trinkets to kitchen updates, travel accessories, and beyond—get inspired with these chic and (mostly) romantic gift ideas. Here, the most unique 5-year anniversary gifts for her—and for him—to shop now.
