A decade of marriage—that spells a wonderful and incredible journey for two individuals. It is an occasion worth celebrating and with some pomp as well! And one can hardly need mention that the occasion can be made all the more joyous and memorable by showering the couple with some unique and meaningful 10th wedding anniversary gifts. Now, whether you’re a relative or friend going to celebrate this memorable night with the happy couple or you are actually one half of the couple yourself, finding a gift (for the couple or for your loving partner) deserving of this impressive occasion may come off as somewhat daunting—actually, all the more so if you are out choosing a gift for your partner!
So, if you find yourself in such a position, we are here to help. Below, you’ll find a list of carefully chosen wedding anniversary gift ideas suitable for all wedding anniversaries, like if it’s a paper (1st) anniversary, a wood (6th) anniversary or a tin, i.e. the 10th anniversary. There are a number of elegant, traditional gifts (exquisite chinaware, precision watches and more) that will never lose their appeal as thoughtful and loving presents, no matter the occasion. The, there are a slew of modern gifts unique to the occasion celebrated. Many of the latter, as you will find below, weave the theme of the occasion into the gift, with many offering different personalizing options as well. Finally, if you want to incorporate, as a nice and thoughtful touch, the special symbols associated with a 10th anniversary (tin or aluminum for metal, daffodil for flower, diamond for stone), there are options to do that as well.
Unique Gift Ideas for Your 10th Wedding Anniversary
Clocks and Watches
Of course, timepieces always make for ideal anniversary gifts. Our favorite is those elegant display pieces that include three clocks arranged either vertically or horizontally, with the first clock recording the years, the second the months and the days and the third, as you can already tell, the minutes, hours and seconds. Apart from being a tasteful display piece, this item will surely bear special connotations as a wedding anniversary gift.
On the other hand, we will suggest watches (even if it’s not a watch anniversary, 15th, i.e.!) especially if you are out looking for a suitable gift for your partner. Choose some timeless, sleek designs that will bear an instant appeal for the recipient. You may also consider one with little diamond stones set on the rim of the dial piece to add the theme of the 10th anniversary on your gift. Now our advice is whatever you choose, just make sure that you don’t try to cut corners—not here! After all, you are choosing a present for the most valued person in your life on an incredibly special occasion!
Dinner Sets or Serveware
We are a huge fan of elegant chinaware, especially for special occasions like wedding anniversaries. Any china dinner or tea set with minimalist design and prints will serve as a wonderful gift for a wedding anniversary. For a 10th anniversary, we suggest you try to look for a set with a mellow and mature gold hues, such as with golden rims, perhaps with gold leaf patterns inside.
On the other hand, if you are looking for something truly unique, our pick is the Personalization Mall’s monogrammed tray especially designed as a 10th anniversary gift. This elegant serveware with a pearl-inspired design is prepared from recycled aluminum. As for the personalization factor, you can pre-order the tray with the anniversary couple’s initials monogrammed on it.
Patterned Customized Map for Couples
This one is most suitable for a Paper (1st) anniversary, but we believe the sheer uniqueness of the idea will make it a great gift for all wedding anniversaries. Typically, these map-themed pieces of arts will consist of a scenery, such as a sun shining over a mountain range. Now, the customization part is that the mountain ranges will be designed from pieces of maps of places or locations that bear special significance to the couple in question (such as the place they first met at, the location they chose for their honeymoon trip, and so on).
Fruit Gift Basket
Fruit baskets exude themes of health and prosperity and accordingly, they will serve as an ideal gift for a 10th wedding anniversary. For one thing, it may symbolize that the marriage has reached fruition. However, more than the symbolizing (and the savory) part of it, we are actually a fan of fruit gift baskets since, over and above anything, a basket full of plump, colorful and often, exotic foods serve as an exquisite visual treat in itself and our celebrating couple will surely appreciate the gift.
Pamper Hampers
And while we are on the subject of gift baskets, let’s mention that we are equally big fans of pamper hampers as great gifts for wedding anniversaries as well as for many other similar joyful occasions. You can choose a pamper gift basket (it can be a self-care hamper, chocolate hampers, gourmet gift baskets, wine hampers and more) depending on the tastes and preferences of the couple or of your partner. Apart from the flexibility in offer, gift hampers also offer great personalizing options to the giver.
