For a unique
gift, give a love poem in a pewter frame or a personalized pewter keepsake.
Pewter is an
alloy that is 85-99% tin so if you are having trouble thinking of a tin gift, look for pewter instead. We particularly like the personalized pewter plate here in the left column.
In the theme of aluminum, home decorations such as a framed tin mirror adds unique elegance to a room. Historically, the aluminum material may have once included aluminum cookware so feel free to substitute a stainless steel set instead.
When looking for gifts to give your wife, particularly on a special year like the tenth anniversary, if your budget allows give consideration to the idea of diamond jewelry - the alternative modern material.
In the case of jewelry, we would recommend either artisan tin or a white gold piece with diamonds. However, if you know that your wife prefers to wear yellow gold or rose gold instead of white, then definitely get her jewelry using her favorite metal instead of white gold. For that matter, if you are not a stickler for the material, you can also substitute platinum.
I collect antiques so on our 10th anniversary my husband went to several antique stores and bought a wonderful collection of antique tins. I had never collected them before and so this was new. I have been collecting them ever since, but none are as special as the first tins my husband bought me.

We gave the kids to my mom and took a 10 day cruise down around the Caribbean islands. It was the perfect amount of time to get away for our tenth anniversary.
