If you and your wife are coming up on 10 years of marriage, this is the perfect time to present her with a gift that expresses how much you love and appreciate her. The 10 year anniversary is traditionally celebrated with aluminum or tin gifts, and modern couples often exchange diamond jewelry with one another for this anniversary as well.

Tin Memory Box
-
Remind your wife of all the fond memories that shape your relationship with a tin box filled with significant items from your 10-year marriage. For instance, include a napkin from the restaurant where you had your first date or dried flower petals from the bouquet you gave her on your first anniversary. Including snapshots from your wedding or pictures of your children is a great idea as well. A new gift, like an iPod filled with her favorite romantic songs or dinner reservations to her favorite upscale restaurant, can make the gift complete, along with an embossed image of your anniversary date on the outside of the tin box.
Diamond Jewelry
-
A pair of diamond earrings is a classic gift. You can purchase stud-style earrings that she can wear every day or chandelier diamond earrings that are reserved for special occasions. Other diamond jewelry pieces include a necklace with a diamond pendant in the shape of a heart or a monogram of her first initial. A bracelet with diamond charms that represents some of her favorite things or memorable times in your relationship is ideal as well. For instance, the charms could be in the shape of her favorite shoe, a music note or a number "10" or the words "love" or "forever." A diamond ring she can wear on her right hand is another 10th anniversary gift she will always remember, or you can arrange to replace the stone in her original wedding ring with a larger diamond.

Aluminum Photo Frame or Album
-
A frame or photo album made of aluminum can serve as a sentimental present that keeps with traditional 10th anniversary etiquette. Present your wife with a customized photo album with her name or the year of your 10 year anniversary engraved on the front. Fill the album with pictures that chronicle your relationship, starting with your wedding photo, and include snapshots of the first home you purchased together, pictures of your children and photographs you have taken during family vacations or date nights. Another option is to buy a large frame made of aluminum and carve the term of endearment you use for your wife at the bottom of the frame. You can insert a picture of the two of you from past anniversaries in the frame, or take a picture on the day of your anniversary with a digital camera and add it to the frame.
Aluminum Jewelry
-
Aluminum jewelry pieces are a special way to wish your wife a happy 10th anniversary. An aluminum bangle engraved with a romantic message for your wife, like "I love our life together," can be presented to her with a bouquet of bright yellow daffodils -- the 10th anniversary flower. You can also present her with an aluminum pendant to go on a silver necklace you purchase for her. A bracelet with aluminum charms in the shape of a daffodil, her first initial, the initials of your children or the number 10 is also an ideal way to incorporate more than one 10th anniversary theme.
