10th Anniversary Gift Ideas

Browse antique shops, country stores and flea markets for collectible tin and aluminum toys, memorabilia, home decor items or tin gift containers for a creative 10th anniversary gift.
- Find one with an image or theme with special meaning to your husband or wife. Fill the box with 10 love letters of appreciation. In each letter, write about memories from every year, what you learned and appreciated about your husband and your marriage. The tenth letter can be about what your hopes and dreams are for your future together.
- Use a laser compatible handmade paper, (office supply stores now carry these specialty papers) and paste silver heart stickers on it after you've printed out your letters. Fold the letters into a heart shape and write the year of each letter in silver on the outside. Here are instructions for a simple origami heart fold.
- Buy enough fake "diamonds" at a local craft store to nearly fill the box. Nestle your love letters on top the diamonds. Or give her a personalized crystal diamond keepsake.
Or write a "Top 10" list and engrave it on a personalized gift. This list could be the 10 best qualities about your spouse or marriage, 10 reasons why you love your husband or wife, or list 10 things you enjoy doing together.
Many Mexican crafts are fashioned from tin, and you can use a small item to decorate your anniversary gift or include it with another present as a symbolic gift. The easiest way to incorporate a traditional tenth idea is to wrap your anniversary gift in aluminum foil and tie with multicolor or silver ribbon you can purchase at a local party store. Cover the aluminum foil with a sheet of colored cellophane and add a ribbon or bow.
