In order of my preference...
Diamond (natch)
Emerald
Amethyst
Ruby
Sapphire
I never look in high st jewellers (😒) - only impressive ones.
'Hubby' does deliver the goods but still does not get it at all...
I think it's a girl thing 😄
Next...ooh, shall we go for five female MPs (any party)

Te quiero is used in Spain but also Te amo.
Same as Italian Ti voglio bene as well as Ti amo.
It all depends on the relationship.
My OH often grabs me and says "Come 'ere, you ol'trout" which I interpret, maybe erroneously, as "I love you " 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Is that five?
An easy one now I think after all that brain wracking...
Five pre-decimal coins

Farthing, halfpenny, penny, threepenny, sixpence, shilling. And that is just the start, I could go on but will leave those to other people. Threepence was know as a"thrupenny bit". I still have a few silver ones somewhere.

I remember those in Christmas puddings, sadly you had to hand them back if you were lucky enough to get one I used to know some people who had biscuit tins full of the old threepenny bits, they pretended they were gold sovereigns |

Aunt Kate gave him a lovely warm tanner (kept inside her blouse) Going home on the bus, his mother said "Tommy's getting the fares - he's flush" 😁 |
