  When choosing the perfect 10th anniversary gift for your spouse, you could choose to explore the traditional and modern anniversary gift lists for ideas. These lists indicate the type of gift that should be given on a particular anniversary. Knowing the recommended gift ideas for a 10th anniversary can help you choose the right gift.
  
  

Aluminum or Tin

• According to the traditional list of anniversary gifts, if you are celebrating a 10th anniversary you should give your spouse a gift that has been made of either tin or aluminum. Choosing the right gift made of one of these two materials affords a number of different gift choices. One idea is tin jewelry. Explore local artists' handmade jewelry and look for a necklace or bracelet made from tin. Or you could purchase a tin filled with a favorite treat, such as caramel corn.
  
  

Diamond Jewelry

• If the traditional anniversary gift ideas are not for you, you could choose to follow the modern list. The modern 10th anniversary gift is diamond jewelry. One jewelry idea is a diamond tennis bracelet. Or you could choose a pair of diamond stud earrings. You could also choose jewelry with diamond accents. For example, a watch that has a few diamond studs set in it would be ideal for a husband or a wife. If your spouse did not have a proper engagement or wedding ring, you could consider a diamond ring as a gift.
  
  

Something Different

• If you are not inspired by the recommendations from the traditional or the modern anniversary gift lists, you can choose a gift that has nothing to do with the lists. Anniversary gifts are a way to express your love and appreciation for the person you have spent your life with. Think about who your spouse is and what she enjoys. If your spouse is a fan of comic books, look for a first edition of her favorite comic. Or if she enjoys cooking, buy her a cookbook from her favorite chef or a new kitchen gadget. You could also get her a gift certificate to her favorite store or a local spa so she can treat herself to what she likes best.
