Equivalent of flowers for a man

What would be a gift along the same lines as flowers for a man who wouldn’t appreciate flowers as a gift?

It’s mine and DPs 5yr anniversary (not married) so we don’t normally bother with gifts, just got for a nice meal or something but obviously covid. Don’t want to buy anything too extravagant but also don’t want to get nothing when I have a suspicion I’ll get a flower delivery so I was just wondering what would be the ‘male equivalent’ (for a man who wouldn’t appreciate flowers, would be much easier if he would and we had more than one vase Grin)

5th anniversary is wood - so a bonsai tree? Or a wooden chopping board?

Oh - think you meant 'has no patience' with plants.

My mind went straight to a game, depends if he's into that though.

A plant is nice, especially for those with home offices.
