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 of diamonds. By year 10, your marriage is just as beautiful as that glittering rock.
"The most important thing about a gift is the thought that goes into it," says 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 researched and rounded up high-quality gift options based on their level of thoughtfulness, durability, and proximity to either the traditional or modern 10-year anniversary theme. Plus, we added a few practical gifts that make a great addition to any home.
For sparkling jewelry that will wow your partner, the Dana Rebecca Designs 'Sylvie Rose' Diamond Bar Pendant Necklace and the White Space Continuity Ring both make an excellent choice. For the couple who loves to cook? Order the Rachael Ray Create Delicious Nonstick Cookware Set or the Everdure CUBE Portable Charcoal Grill—then use them on your anniversary to cook a special dinner for two!
Read on for the best 10th-anniversary gifts.

Any anniversary is a major milestone that’s deserving of a thoughtful celebration. While giving a gift to your partner 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 your spouse's face, so a bit of thoughtful planning will go a long way.
If they enjoy low-key evenings at home, treat them to a special dinner complete with candles, a favorite meal, and their wedding playlist—it's a super romantic way to create an intimate celebration with meaning. For the adventurer, surprise them with a day or overnight trip to a place that holds special memories. Whatever you choose to do, a little bit of thought and creativity will make their day meaningful.
