As if shopping for romantic gifts for your partner in general wasn't hard enough (don't even get us started on Valentine's Day), you also have to come up with anniversary gifts each year that are equally as good. But here's a pro tip: If you're feeling overwhelmed and not sure what to get 'em, go with a traditionally-themed anniversary present. And if your fifth wedding anniversary is coming up, then you're in luck, 'cause we've got tons of five-year anniversary gift ideas to get you feeling inspired (and yep, they're all totally on-theme).

But, wait, traditional anniversary gift? If you have no idea what we're talking about, here's the deal: Each year of marriage has a different theme to guide your gift selection. Celebrate your first wedding anniversary with a paper gift, the second with cotton, and the third with something made of leather. And if you've made it to five years together, go with a wooden gift. Since wood furniture might not be in the budget, we've rounded up 25 fifth anniversary gift ideas that won't quite break the bank as much as, say, a custom-made cherry wood armoire.

From woodsy-scented candles and fragrances to gifts constructed out of various types of wood, you'll find presents that both you and your partner can enjoy together as you celebrate five years of wedded bliss. So if you're feeling stumped (yes, that was a tree joke) on what to get your spouse, then scroll through and have your pick of any of these solid (yep, another one) gift ideas, below. Now, let's get to chopping already! (GET IT? LIKE SHOPPING?)
