This is the traditional time at which it is done. That being said, there is no rule against renewing your vows anytime you feel like it.
* Yes, if a married couple are renewing their vows then a gift should be given unless the invitation has stated that no gifts be given.
If your anniversary does not fall on a Friday or Saturday then yes, you can renew your wedding vows on a different day. The date isn't as important and proudly saying your wedding vows a second time declaring your love for each other.

No, the gifts are given as a boost to the new couple. You are not obligated by any means to provide a gift to a married couple that is renewing their vows.
we had our renewal nearly five years ago, i just used a search engine (google etc) and typed in 25th wedding renewal vows......got tons and tons of (free !!! ) ideas..........good luck !!!!!!!!!
It means that you feel a sense of renewed commitment to your spouse and/or your family. Something probably has happened quite recently that has caused you to have a fresh appreciation of your loyalties and commitments.
Flowers, dinner, family time, and a vacation away from everyone would satisfy the needs on a wife for an anniversary gift. If she doesn't like the above ideas take her to get your vows renewed.
You should always say what is in your heart. My wedding vows was short and sweet. Example: i have learned over the many years together that no matter where we go or what we do as long as we are together our lives will be everything we will ever want. I love you with all my heart and can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you.
On the tenth anniversary or on the twenty-fifth are traditional, but you could renew them on any anniversary of your choosing.

There is no prohibition on getting married or renewing vows on Shabbat. It's just that most Jews avoid doing so because Shabbat prohibits a number of ancillary things that a person may wish to have at a wedding (such as dancing to music or having relatives arrive by car, etc.)
* People renew their vows because they love each other very much and it's to dedicate that love a second time around and involve family and friends. Generally renewing vows is more pleasant and relaxed than when you got married.
