Cheers to an entire decade spent with your spouse! A 10-year wedding anniversary definitely deserves recognition (and, obviously, a celebration). By this point, you've both came a long way since you first said "I do." You've grown exponentially as a couple and might have even added children into the mix. Because your 10th anniversary marks such a monumental point in your marriage, you need a gift for your significant other that's truly wow-worthy and reflects your unique relationship. To make your present selection process easier, we rounded up the best 10-year anniversary gifts for him, her, and them for any budget.
You've had your fair share of wedding anniversaries, so you probably already know by now that each anniversary has customary traditional and modern gifts. For 10-year anniversaries, the traditional gifts are tin or aluminum. These metals reflect your marriage's resilience and tougher-than-nails strength. As a modern spin, couples also give diamond jewelry (bling, bling!) for their 10th anniversaries. The gemstone symbolizes the love and durability of your marriage. Plus, who doesn't love receiving diamonds!?
If you're looking for more gift ideas, the 10-year anniversary has no shortage of traditions. Silver and blue are the customary 10th anniversary colors, and the daffodil serves as the traditional flower because it symbolizes happiness. Whether you decide to go the traditional route or get creative, make sure your anniversary present pays homage to the importance and excitement of this marriage milestone.
