Ten years is quite a milestone in a relationship and it deserves to be celebrated. Gifts of tin and aluminum are traditional for this anniversary. But how do you make tin and aluminum romantic?

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Computer with Internet access for searching

Think Traditional

Step1
Think beyond the material to what can be made of it. Better yet, do an Internet search for "tin gifts."
Step2
Choose a collectible item of tin or aluminum that reflects the couple’s interests.
Step3
Wrap jewelry in a collectible or decorative tin for your spouse.
Step4
Pack a tin full of everything they’ll need to enjoy a romantic spa weekend—including a gift certificate for a couples massage.

Nontraditional Ideas

Step1
Skip tradition and give a gift that acknowledges their 10 years together.
Step2
Gather as many mementos of their years together as you can find. Include photos, their wedding invitation, newspaper clippings of milestones, birth announcements and anything else you can think of.
Step3
Arrange all the mementos in a small photo album or scrapbook.
Step4
Give a nod to tradition, if you like, by wrapping the album in a decorative tin box.

Select a Tenth-Anniversary Gift for a Spouse

Step1
Choose diamond jewelry for a tenth-anniversary gift.
Step2
Consider the style of jewelry your spouse likes best when choosing a gift.
Step3
Get her ring size if you’re planning to buy her a diamond ring.
Step4
Order in time for the anniversary, especially if the gift requires sizing.
Step5
Wrap your gift or have it gift wrapped for you at the store where you make your purchase.
Step6
Give it to your spouse over a romantic dinner.

Tips & Warnings

  • Rings aren’t the only things that require sizing. If you choose a bracelet or anklet, be sure it will be long enough to fit comfortably.
