10th Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas for Her Should be Flexible but Durable

The symbol for a tenth wedding anniversary is tin. Not a very common material for things to be made from, so this year might be a bit challenging. Tin was chosen as the traditional symbol for 10 years of marriage because it is both durable and flexible. Ten years of married life is quite a significant milestone, one of the first of many we hope. Aluminum also features in the list as a traditional alternative, which opens up a whole load of other options when it comes to finding the perfect 10th anniversary gifts for her. The modern list features diamonds, but most particularly jewelry. And finding the most adorable piece of diamond jewelry for her should make your gift choosing a doddle.
If your marriage has made it through everything life has thrown at you, including the possible addition of kids, then it should be as strong as diamonds. So what better gift to give your wife for your 10th anniversary than a diamond necklace, earrings, bracelet or ring. Show her that your love is forever with your well chosen gift.

• The Wizard of Oz – who doesn’t love a bit of nostalgia. Indulge the little girl inside your wife and watch the Wizard of Oz. The connection with the traditional 10th anniversary gift is of course – the Tin Man.
