Give gifts made of tin for a traditional 10th anniversary celebration. Give a picnic basket full of canned delicacies for a "Tin Picnic," or a German shepherd puppy--named Rin Tin Tin, of course. Wrap a copy of the John Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton movie "Pushing Tin"--include plane tickets for a second-honeymoon getaway. Define "tin" a little more loosely--give gifts made of silver-colored metal. This can include everything from golf clubs, cooking gadgets and cameras to cell phones and cars. Give the couple wind chimes made from tin.

Give diamonds for a modern 10th anniversary gift. Drape your darling in glitter--choose from such pieces as diamond tennis bracelets, anniversary rings and symbolic "love" pendants. Give your groom of a decade diamond cuff links, tie tacks or a signet ring. Give a couple his-and-hers wrist watches with diamonds on the faces. Consider a crystal decanter cut with diamond-like facets, Neil Diamond CDs or tickets to a baseball game--reserve the best seats overlooking the baseball diamond.

Give 10 dozen daffodils, which are the traditional 10th anniversary flower. Take a trip to a South African diamond mine or to Craters of the Diamonds State Park in Arkansas to dig up--or at least choose--your own diamond. Put together a scrapbook depicting the anniversary couple together through the years. Go together to a tattoo parlor and get each other's names tattooed in an inconspicuous spot--or very conspicuous, if you're bold. Make up a trivia game with questions from the couple's life together. Include such questions as "What was the name of the landlord at your first apartment?" and "Who said 'I love you' first?"
