Something like Vanguard Target Retirement Income fund could be reasonable - it is 70% bonds / 30% stocks. You could get more conservative with something like 50% cash / 35% bonds / 15% stocks. There's probably no reason to look beyond those three instruments (cash, broad stock market index fund, broad bond market index fund).

Assuming you mean 5 year TIPS, sure why not? I probably wouldn't because I'm not that worried about inflation in the short term and I understand cash better. But I ain't he.
