10-year anniversary gift ideas

Your 10th anniversary marks a decade of being a couple. It's a big deal — so celebrate your partner with a special gift. What should you pick? Here's some 10th anniversary gifting inspiration to help you choose the perfect present, no matter your partner's personality.

Traditional 10th-anniversary gifts

Did you know a tin or aluminum gift traditionally marks the 10th anniversary? These metals might seem humble, but they're strong and long-lasting — like your marriage! Consider one of the following classic choices if you want to stick with a traditional 10-year anniversary gift idea.

1. Buy a bouquet of flowers in a metal vase or pot

When choosing the flowers, opt for daffodils. These beautiful, cheerful blooms are the traditional 10-year anniversary flower.

2. Order a custom-made tin statue

Choose one from a seller on sites like Etsy. This statue should represent you and your partner, whether in a literal or symbolic sense, and it should be a design you're proud to display at home.

3. Select a hammered aluminum bowl

Your significant other can use this decor item for their keys, change, and other small items.

4. Give your partner metal photo prints

These metal photo prints should show the most romantic moments in your relationship. Flat or curved, hung on walls or displayed on your table, these prints make a statement and express your long-lasting love.

5. Pack a decorative tin with goodies

Choose items such as your partner's favorite candy, or add supplies for a spa day at home. You can buy an engraved tin or customize yours with stickers, paint, and other detailing.

6. Create a 10 Reasons Why I Love You photo book

Your 10 Reasons Why I Love You book should capture your favorite things about your partner. You can weave photos and stories from the past 10 years throughout your book. Of course, you can always add more pages if you want to create a book with 15 or more reasons that you love your partner.

7. Select an anniversary jewelry item

The perfect anniversary jewelry piece might be a ring, bracelet, or even a necklace. The 10th-anniversary gemstone is the diamond, but there's nothing wrong with choosing another stone your partner favors more.

8. Book a romantic weekend getaway

Choose a resort or destination your partner's always wanted to visit. Be sure to let the booking staff know you're celebrating your anniversary when you make the reservations.

9. Give a bouquet of tin or aluminum roses

You can find real roses dipped in metal and molded roses on websites like Amazon and Etsy. Your local florist may carry metal flowers and bouquets, too.

12. Make a map of special places

Your DIY map should mark where you met, were married, or went on your honeymoon. You can create a basic "where we met" map or try your hand at this DIY heart map wall art project. Sellers on Etsy and Amazon also offer custom anniversary maps if you prefer to buy one instead of making it yourself.

You're never too old for wanderlust. Maybe your partner loves exploring new places. Celebrate that spirit of adventure with one of these gifts that are perfect for jetsetters and adrenaline lovers.

16. Order a new luggage set and custom tags

Be sure to keep your partner's preferences in mind when selecting custom tags and travel pieces. For example, they might prefer hard luggage or suitcases in bright colors.

17. Arrange a special trip for two

Choose an adventurous destination you've always talked about visiting. You could also book a "return trip" to where you honeymooned or got married.

18. Give them a travel gift card

This is a great choice when you want to go on a trip with your partner but want them to choose the destination. It's also a practical idea if your anniversary falls during the school year or holidays and you aren't able to travel until later. You might select an airline gift card if you're a frequent flyer on one or two airlines, or you can opt for a more generic travel partner card for customized bookings.

19. Splurge on new camping gear

You might like to get a cozy tent or hammock for two. Camping gifts are practical and fun, and they set up the anticipation of future adventures. If your partner has been eyeing a new piece of outdoor gear, this is the time to get it for them.

20. Gift a souvenir organizer or keepsake box

This box would be perfect for storing special items your partner collected on their travels. You can also make a travel photo book that captures shots from trips you've taken as a couple over the years.

10th-anniversary gifts for the homebody

Some couples love nothing more than spending a romantic evening at home together. Whether your partner likes to cuddle up on the couch or share their hobbies with you, they'll love one of these 10th-anniversary gifts perfect for homebodies.

21. Give your partner a new board game or card game

Choose a game you can play on those cozy nights in. Another option is buying new accessories for a game you already play together — such as these striking role-playing dice you can find on Amazon.

22. Invest in a warm, handmade blanket or quilt

If you can't find someone in your area who makes quilts or blankets, you can order one from a site like Etsy.

Add items such as candles, a robe, and a pair of plush slippers. Your partner will love having comfy new items to use while you're hanging out at home.

24. Share the love of plants

Choose a plant or pop for an Aerogarden so your partner can grow their herbs and lettuce, no matter the weather outside. This is the perfect gift for homebodies who love gardening.

26. Subscribe to a culinary gift box

There are myriad choices for culinary gift boxes, from meal kits to international snacks to coffee and tea.

27. Create a cookbook

To make the cookbook more special, include recipes you and your partner love cooking together. If you have photos of the two of you in the kitchen, be sure to include them. You can also ask friends and family to send special recipes to include in the book.

28. Wrap up a kitchen gadget

Choose one your partner has been eyeing but isn't likely to buy for themself. If you're not sure what to choose, get them a gift card for a kitchen supply store instead.

29. Hire a private chef

Ask the private chef to create a meal with your partner's favorite foods and beverages. You can host the meal in your home or ask the chef to suggest a venue to rent for an intimate private dinner.

Is your partner the creative type who's always working on a new art piece or craft project? Show them how much you appreciate them with an arts-inspired anniversary gift.

31. Enroll them in an art or hobby class

The class should be one they've always wanted to take. Most art schools and shops also offer gift certificates for classes, so your partner can choose their ultimate creative experience.

32. Purchase art supplies for your partner

Make sure to choose supplies you know they'll appreciate but might hesitate to buy for themself. Examples include pricey pen sets, paints, or frames.

33. Have an art portfolio printed

This art portfolio should celebrate your partner's unique creative skills. Whether your partner loves painting, drawing, building clay models, or doing another art craft, they'll love seeing their artwork in a professional album.

34. Arrange a trip for two to an art museum or festival

You can make it a one-day adventure or an artistic weekend away from home.

With a smart wallet or purse organizer, your practical partner can keep everything in order.
