As the traditional wedding gift for 5 year is wood, I could send you a stick from the maple in our yard as a gift - it's been raining today, and it always looses at least a twig or two!

I am a rememberer of dates, and in our case, it would be pretty tough to forget our anniversary anyway - it is the day after Paul's birthday, and the day before my sister's and niece's birthday!

Dad's not a good rememberer of dates, that was always Ma's department. But he never missed an anniversary - they got married on her birthday, so he had that reinforcement, and eventually us kids to help him! Of the four of us, I'm the only one whose birthday he reliably remembers - as it's the day after his. Sometimes he forgets if it's the day before or after, but hey - with the rest of them, he only remember the month, so I'm the lucky one!
