After 10 years of marriage, you've likely seen a lot of laughs, many compromises, and some disappointment. And you've also given and received plenty of anniversary gifts. Whether it's for your spouse or a long-time friend celebrating a milestone anniversary, there's a good chance you struggle with gift-giving every once in a while. After years of exchanging birthday gifts, just-because gifts, and Mother's Day or Father's Day gifts, you're likely wondering what's left as far as ideas for 10th anniversary gifts.
Fortunately, many years of marriage also means many more options in the gift-giving department — 10 is a big milestone, after all. You can choose from a number of traditional gifts to mark a 10-year anniversary. The official flower for the 10th anniversary is the daffodil. The official material is tin or aluminum, representing the flexibility necessary in a long marriage. Finally, the official gemstone is the diamond, making your 10th anniversary a good time to upgrade engagement rings.
Or, you don't have to go traditional and can instead lean towards sentimental, modern, or functional gifts that nod to particular moments in the marriage or traditions in your shared life. Choose something that truly feels right in celebrating the marriage you nurtured together.
We've gathered a list of the best 10th anniversary gifts, which are all meaningful and cater to a variety of budgets. Regardless of what you choose, this milestone anniversary will be one to remember.
