20 Traditional—and Modern—10-Year Anniversary Gift Ideas
A 10th wedding anniversary gift is, traditionally, made of tin or aluminum. Tin was traditionally used to store and preserve things, so honoring a decade of love with the material has long been apropos. Because tin and aluminum won't rust and keep their shine over time, the materials are also a symbol of resiliency and strength. Their durability and pliability also pay tribute to the flexibility a long-lasting commitment requires.
With all that in mind, neither feels incredibly festive. So, consider splurging on something that feels more true to you as a couple. For a more contemporary approach, diamonds have become the newly-minted custom for year #10. Scoring a perfect 10 on the Mohs scale, diamonds are the hardest natural material on the planet; it's no wonder that they've become customary for celebrating 10 years of marriage—whether in the form of new baubles or an upgrade to your wedding band or engagement ring. Silver or blue have also been deemed customary colorways for celebrating a decade of marriage, should diamonds, aluminum, or tin not strike a chord. If you're still craving a little inspiration as you pick out a little gift to celebrate your decade of partnership, ahead you'll find 20 gifts that range from jewelry to at-home indulgences that you can enjoy together. Consider these the 10-year anniversary gifts that will be universally beloved, either. for their sentimentality or for the fact that they're just plain practical.
