10th Wedding Anniversary
Tin is the traditional material for the 10th wedding anniversary.
For a unique
gift, give a love poem or favorite picture in a tin or pewter frame. We like the '10' tin frame to the left or the pewter frame in the righthand column. Pewter is an
alloy that is 85-99% tin so this material is also still on theme. Pair your frame with a red rose for that extra touch.
For the modern material aluminum, home decorations such as a framed mirror adds unique elegance to a room. Historically, the aluminum material may have once included aluminum cookware so feel free to substitute an anodized or stainless steel set instead. The aluminum tipped flowers to the left would also be a unique idea.
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. If you really want to stay totally on theme, try artistic jewelry that combines tin and diamond, such as the 'twist' pendant to the right.
In the case of jewelry, we would recommend artistic tin or pewter jewelry, white gold with diamonds, or platinum. Jewelry is a great gift for marking a special anniversary like the 10th because she will think of you every time she wears it.
Blue sapphire is the alternate modern jewelry material for the 10th anniversary.

- From our Visitors -
On our 10th anniversary I got a tin vase and had the florist
remake my wife's wedding bouquet. She still treasures the old
tin vase.

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.

My husband gave me roses and a pair of diamond earrings, my favorite. I gave him a gift certificate to a sports store, not romantic but trust me he would prefer that :)
