Celebrating a 10th anniversary has different meanings for many couples. This first major milestone of a relationship, representing a mark of stability and growth. For most, the anniversary reinvigorates and re-establishes the love first forged a decade earlier.
There are certain guidelines you will need to remember when gift shopping for this day. The first and only rule is that you must include something that has tin or aluminum (a symbol of strength and solidity). Outside from that, you are free to be creative or bold. If you are having some trouble finding the perfect gift that will transcend the day, then here are a few of the best gift ideas to consider.
Tudor Pelagos Watch
This 10th-anniversary gift will prove the lengths you will go to giving her only the best. The Tudor Pelagos is easily the most glorious investment you make for her, next to her engagement ring. The watch is made entirely of titanium and black steel to assure it will last the test of time, literally.
Along with Rolex, the brand is considered one of top 3 best in the world and was once owned by Rolex in the early part of the 20th century.

Kate Spade Daisy Place Vase

Created by superstar designer Kate Spade, the vase will force to look at her bouquet from a more artful standpoint.

The Bouqs Bouquet
It may appear a bit cliche but this bouquet is different from the ordinary. The flowers included in the Bouqs Bouquet are cut on the day you order them and delivered directly from the farm itself (it’s a true organic flower). That means these customized bouquets will last much longer than the ones you purchase from your local flower shop. The company also offers an option for your sweetheart to receive flowers throughout the year.
