Tin Can Picnic
-
Take your wife on a tin can picnic for a whimsical take on your tenth anniversary. Choose items that she likes, such as tuna salad made from canned tuna, and create a picnic for her. Head to a local park, or even your back yard, and have a meal together. Drink champagne from a bottle covered with silver foil to complete the picnic.
Wind Chime
-
Use aluminum as the inspiration for your tenth anniversary gift and give your wife a wind chime. Aluminum will make a clinking sound when the wind pushes pieces together, so it makes a good material for a wind chime. You can even make the wind chime yourself. Take pieces of aluminum and cut shapes out of it. Tie the shapes onto an aluminum ring and hang it from a tree or the roof of your porch.

Diamonds
-
Diamonds are a modern alternative for a tenth wedding anniversary. Most women love jewelry and diamonds, so consider giving your wife a piece of jewelry, such as a pair of diamond earrings, a bracelet or a necklace. If you have become more financially stable in the 10 years since you have gotten married, consider upgrading her engagement ring. Place a larger stone in her original setting or purchase a new diamond ring. Be sure to ask her permission first, though. It may be more important to her to keep her original stone and setting for sentimental reasons.
Flowers
-
Some men like giving their wives flowers on special occasions. When you want to give your wife a bouquet of flowers on your 10th anniversary, consider choosing daffodils, because they are the flower associated with the anniversary. You could also serve her breakfast in bed and place 10 daffodils in a vase to decorate the tray.
