What’s a special way to celebrate a 10 year anniversary?

Any anniversary is a major milestone that’s deserving of a thoughtful celebration. While giving a gift to your bae is a wonderful way to mark the occasion, sometimes the most meaningful gifts are the ones that money can’t buy. After a decade of marriage, you know the things that will bring a smile to the face of your spouse, so a bit of thoughtful planning will go a long way.

The 19 Best 10th-Year Anniversary Gifts in 2022 — Brides / Chloe Jeong

Every year of marriage is worth celebrating, but especially when you’ve been going a decade strong. Traditionally, tin or aluminum is meant to commemorate the 10th wedding anniversary. Known for their resilience and inability to rust, they symbolize the durability of your marriage. But if you want to give—or receive—a bit more glamorous of a gift, you might prefer the more modern 10th-anniversary theme: diamonds. Because by 10 years, your marriage is just as beautiful as that glittering rock.

"The most important thing about a gift is the thought that goes into it," advises etiquette expert Myka Meier. "A photo that is in a frame and beautifully wrapped, or even something you made, can be a great option that may not cost a lot of money but does show a lot of thought."

From tin to aluminum to diamonds, we’ve rounded up some gift options for all three. Of course, there’s sparkling jewelry on this list. But there are also a few practical gifts, like an aluminum cookware set and a portable backpack chair. We even threw in a few sweet, personalized items that will make your spouse’s heart swell.
