What should I give my husband for our 5th anniversary?

I prefer to give something along the lines of tradition- which 5 years is wood.

We are doing some pricey things together mainly as our "gift" to one another (parasailing, whale watching cruise, etc). I still want him to have a gift to open. I have a tight budget- $50 and under.

Thanks ahead of time! :-)

Update:

A couple things to add: We are a military family. This is only the second time we've been able to spend our anniversary together.

I've done watches, photos of myself... We live in military housing so we cannot plant a tree, even though that's a great idea!!

Looking for something unique...

    I gotta say, I did try, J, but I think your hubby gave you the answer already. You have already given him enough wood. ;o) (hahaheehee....) Anyways, I say the wooden plate with you wrapped in turquoise sitting on it, with silverware at your side while you hold a bunch of daisies (white) and he gets to have dinner......

    Okay so I guess I am not getting BA but oh well. I can't find any real gift that I really like besides the couples bath tray from RedEnvelope. I think that would be realy sweet if you got that and set up a nice bath with wine or champagne and fruit and scented bath bubbles and salts and lots of candles. You can wear turquiose jewelry and feed him with cute little silverware and have vases of daisies in the bathroom. Make sure there is some instrumental, soft music playing in the background. Sounds like anything else but this is as good as it gets if you let it.

    You have done everything else you can do with out spending every penny you possess.

    Okay so I should get BA for that.... ;o)

    Happy 5th Best! Here's wishing to another 55 years of you guys loving and bugging each other. I love you guys and will always be here for you! Yippee- less then two weeks and you get your hubby back finally!

    TTYS....LYLAS....<3UBEST!

    Congrats on the 5th. Can't help you though. My 30th is coming around in January and I'm at a loss every year what to do. In the end, she's always happy with what I get her. It's the remembering the anniversary and celebrating it with something special that's important.

    How about a tree? Wood comes from trees. You can buy a small tree, and plant it together in your yard. Have someone take a picture of the two of you in front of it every year on your anniversary. It will be a reminder every year of your love, and every year as it gets stronger, so does your love.

    Get him an anniversary themed gift basket (the basket would cover the wood requirement). There is one in particular that I purchased and it also includes a book of romantic ideas (book is made of paper, paper made of wood!!).

    Good luck and congrats!

    You could get him a nice wooden charging valet for all his gadgets. It's somewhere to put them at night and they are charged in the morning.

    This ring is made out of wood, I have it, it is unisex and beautiful!

    Sorry, it's past your budget though.
