These Ray-Ban Classic Clubmaster sunglasses are outfitted with a beautiful wood frame and fit most face shapes. It’s a great take on an old classic; we love the modern, wood-embellished spin. The lens width is 51 millimeters, which fits most face shapes —perfect for the next time you steal your partner’s sunglasses at the beach. Like all Ray-Ban products, they’re 100% polarized to offer full protection against harmful rays.

While you've been married for five years we are sure your style has evolved from when you've first met. Instead of a gift he or she can wear why not try something they can rest in that will bring new life to the home.

It’s adjustable, so it can fit any bathtub width up to 43” and as small as 29.5”. It comes with a variety of holders and compartments perfect for everything from candles to glasses of wine to an iPod. Our favorite feature is the magazine or book holder that allows your loved one to indulge in that latest crime novel during a bath.

Owners love the silicone grip that keeps it in place and agree that the caddy holds up bath after bath. This is the perfect gift for the loved one in your life who could use a little pampering. Last but not least, an aroma diffuser uses a mixture of essential oils and water to create a soothing mist and complete the atmosphere of total relaxation.

InnoGear’s faux-wood grain goes well with any decor, and makes for a beautiful addition to an office, bedroom or bathroom. It has seven different LED light colors, and can run for about six hours with each 200ml tank refill. The diffuser can also provide some much-needed hydration if you or your loved one suffer from dry skin or chapped lips.

Owners rave about the quality of the diffuser, saying it looks and feels much more expensive than it is. It’s also incredibly easy to clean, which is important for those who experience allergies or air-borne sensitivities. Celebrate your fifth year together by giving your partner the gift of rest.
