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
The bountiful of flowers you will be giving her on this special day will fit perfectly in the vase, and it will be even more special when she reads the inscription: “I’d rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck, with freedom, books, flower, and the moon, who could not be happy?”. Created by superstar designer Kate Spade, the vase will force to look at her bouquet from a more artful standpoint.

Polaroid Snap
Memories are big for ladies and photos are the best way to keep them close to the heart. That’s why Polaroid’s newest toy is a great anniversary choice. The camera is simple yet retro at the same time, integrating the company’s former 1970s design to evoke a bit of nostalgia. The features, however, are definitely not old, boasting a powerful 10-megapixel sensor to produce crisp images.

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.
