10th Anniversary Themes

Here are the meaningful and symbolic gift themes that spouses often use to give gifts to one another in honor of this first wonderful decade of marriage.

What is the traditional 10 year anniversary gift?

Tin or aluminum.

Why is tin the traditional tenth anniversary gift?

Tin is a metal that signifies strength and resilience, yet is still malleable – even in your tenth year together, you’re still adjusting to one another and learning about each other every day!

Perhaps tin is also the traditional tenth anniversary gift because it sure sounds like “ten.” We’ll leave that up to you pun-lovers to decide!

What is the modern 10 year anniversary gift?

Diamond jewelry.

Why is diamond jewelry the modern 10th anniversary gift?

Diamonds signify clarity, beauty, and strength. Plus, diamond jewelry is expensive, appropriate as a way to celebrate and lend dignity to the achievement of 10 years together.

What is the 10 year anniversary stone?

Diamond.

Why is diamond the tenth anniversary stone?

Again, it conveys clarity, beauty, and strength, and also because it aligns with the traditional 10 year gift theme.

What is the 10th anniversary flower?

Daffodil.

What is the 10 year anniversary color?

Silver.

10 Best Tenth Anniversary Gifts

Let’s start with the very best!

1. Engraved Diamond Decanter

This diamond decanter is so special, it’s perfect for your tenth anniversary! It’s a one-of-a-kind gift that will be treasured for many years to come. We think they’ll be pouring something delicious and decadent out this beauty on their twentieth, fortieth, and sixtieth wedding anniversaries too.

It’s fancy and high-end, and the diamond shape is in keeping with the traditional 10th anniversary gift theme without the price tag of a literal diamond. Made of hand-blown glass, they will even custom engrave it for you.

2. Ten Years Anniversary Card

This sweet little tin card with its heart and inscription is a lovely way to say Happy 10th Anniversary to your special someone! A card with beauty, we won’t be surprised if your spouse ends up framing it to hang on the wall. Would also look lovely in a shadowbox of memorabilia and mementos from your years together.

3. Life Time of Love Joy Box

This adorable giftbox is all put together for you, making gifting a breeze! Your special someone will love their interlocking mugs, a heart-shaped trinket dish, and a print from artist Johanna Miller, all delightfully enclosed in a pretty box. The romantically inclined and young-at-heart will love this present.

4. 10 Years Christmas Ornament

It’s so fun to unwrap meaningful Christmas ornaments together each year to hang on the tree, and this pretty crystal one is sure to be a favorite! The twinkly lights from your tree will really set off the sparkle of this crystal, all engraved with your special date and your initials.

Not too expensive so consider giving them as party favors for your tenth anniversary bash!

5. Celebrating “Tin” Years Together

Celebrate “tin” years together with this clever and fun box! What you put inside is up to you, but this sweet little tin is a present all on its own. Personalized and totally unique!

6. Love Birds on a Branch

Did you know swallows (otherwise known as lovebirds) stay together for life! That’s what makes this unique and sweet lovebirds on a branch so perfect for the tenth anniversary. It will bring all the nature together in your own backyard once you gently hammer this sculpture into a tree or a wooden fence post.

7. Personalized Windchimes

Do you hear the bells when you kiss him (or her)? Then get them this adorable windchime that is completely personalized with your names and dates. You’ll love cuddling together on the porch swing while the breeze brings this chime to life!

8. DIY Homemade Diamond Cookies

If your partner loves to bake (or you do!) then these diamond-shaped cookie cutters are the bee’s knees! They’ll love making their creations as much as nibbling on them. Would also be amazing to serve at their tenth anniversary party!

Handmade so no two are alike!

10. Tin Map

This aluminum work of art is so special and unique we’re wondering if we have to wait for the tenth anniversary to get one for us!
