- Giving a gift to your spouse is a traditional way to show your appreciation for the years you have spent together. Although the words gift and money often go hand-in-hand, it's possible to give your partner something without digging into your wallet. For example, you could compile all those photographs of you two sitting around and make a heartfelt scrap book. You could also try love coupons, which are free to make and provide lots of fun. Also consider picking a bouquet of flowers from the backyard and hand write a love note or poem to accompany it, or clean the house so it's immaculate and inviting. Any gesture, no matter how small it seems to you, will go far with your significant other.

Many couple's like to splurge on an expensive dinner out on the town for anniversary celebrations, but you don't have to do that in order to have fun or eat a great meal. Try making your own dinner from scratch. Even if you've never cooked before, there are plenty of easy and affordable meals that a beginner can ace. If the thought of a large dinner overwhelms you, opt for a simple dessert instead.
Setting the mood for your 10th anniversary celebration is important, too. Have a picnic in the park (or create one in the privacy of your own home), light some candles in the dining room or dim the lights and watch a classic romance movie, such as Casablanca or Singing the in Rain. - It's still possible to go out and not spend any money. A walk in the park, through the city or along a canal can create a romantic ambiance and allow you and your spouse to have some alone time. There are also options such as art galleries, nature trails, looking at famous monuments and gardens. Many of these locations are often free for those who just want to browse.
