How about a gift of something, doesn't matter. But, add to that a note about how you really feel about her. Buy her a jewelry box...
But in it, put a letter to her telling her what it's been like to be married to her for 5 years. Spend some time on this and tell her how you really feel. The little things you like. The things that bug you but you can laugh at. Special little moments that you remember but she may not (until being reminded by you in the letter). Things she did for you that really affected you. Things you learned being married to her that you didn't expect.
Spend a week writing this letter, making a first draft then going back to re-read and edit several times. Put it in a nice envelope on nice stationary.
Or, inside the jewelry box, on little separate pieces of paper write little "jewels" about her like: You are _____ (warm, athletic, patient... whatever. Just all the things you like about her.)
This will be more heart-felt and better than any $$$ gift you could buy. Done right and with time & thought, she will love it.
