10-Year Anniversary Gift Traditions
Traditional metal: Tin/aluminumStone: DiamondColor: SilverFlower: Daffodil
You’ll notice that daffodils are one of the first blooms to pop up in spring and bring happiness after a long winter. A bouquet of daffodils will make your partner happy all year round, no matter when your 10th anniversary falls. If your spouse is big into crafting cocktails, seek out various bar tools made of aluminum. We like the idea of a rust-resistant aluminum cocktail shaker. Most cocktail shakers are made from stainless steel, so you’ll have to do a little digging to find one made from aluminum. To anyone who isn’t familiar with jewelry, diamond studs are like the little black dress of the accessory world. Depending on the carat size, they can be affordable or expensive. But either way, they will be timeless, wearable, and nearly indestructible. Whether you’re going to attempt a DIY or buy something ready-made, the options are endless. Consider using tin as a mat for a frame, or add a photo to a modern silver-plated aluminum frame. Consider designing a ring together for a truly custom and personalized gift. And perhaps you’d want to throw an anniversary party to renew your wedding vows with the new jewelry. If you’re not into collecting, buy a less expensive replica and pair it with an additional item, such as chocolates or jewelry. You can find replica tins fairly easily, but do note that they might not be plated with actual tin. A lot of jewelers offer a trade-up program where you can sell back your first diamond to go toward the upgrade. Or perhaps you’ve come into some family jewelry and wish to use a diamond from that to upgrade your engagement ring. Rather than worrying about state regulations, you can simply make a faux license plate with the characters of your choosing to use as wall art. Make it special by picking a plate that represents the state in which you met, got married, or had another meaningful event. Choose a necklace or loose bangle bracelet with some type of personalization added. Otherwise, the inexpensive nature of the item might make the gift seem like an afterthought. You could even customize your print with a quote fit for the occasion. As the Tin Man would say, “I shall take the heart. For brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world.”
