10th wedding anniversary: history and customs
There are various customs and traditions that the couple can celebrate together on their tin wedding anniversary. Their origins date back to the Middle Ages, when marriage anniversaries were first documented. Back then, surviving 10 years of marriage was a very significant event, that symbolised strength and a successful partnership. The aluminium (or tin) is the symbol of this anniversary and stands for stability, durability and flexibility. After all, these are the qualities that make a successful marriage.
Original gifts for the 10th wedding anniversary
Anyone who has spent 10 years together certainly knows their partner very well. Nevertheless, it can sometimes be difficult to find suitable gifts for wedding anniversaries. But you know your partner's preferences, interests and needs, so the 10th wedding anniversary gift can be tailored accordingly. But this anniversary is something very special, which is why you can use a personalised gift to underline the specialness and uniqueness of your partner. Whether it's a photo of a shared memory, a message that only the two of you can understand or your names. The possibilities for personalising your gift are almost endless. A personalised 10th wedding anniversary gift that comes from the heart shows your partner your love, appreciation and affection.
Traditional 10th wedding anniversary gifts
If you are looking for a traditional 10th wedding anniversary gift, you can opt for a present that symbolises solidarity and love. Gifts made of pewter, aluminium or metal are also popular, as they symbolise the 10th anniversary. So it's no surprise that personalised jewellery is a traditional 10th wedding anniversary gift. Our large selection of necklaces, pendants and bracelets is sure to have something for everyone. You can choose between different shapes for the pendants, whether rectangular, square, round or heart-shaped. Depending on the shape and size, you can have them engraved with a photo, your names, a date that is meaningful to you or a small message.
Personalised gifts for your partner
If you want to give an experience instead (such as a short trip, wellness weekend or another adventure) you can add a personalised greeting card. Other personalised gifts are also a great idea as an additional gift, for example a key ring with an engraving or photo. If you have thought about a voucher for a special experience, you can combine it with a personalised box of chocolates, a chocolate puzzle or a cuddly toy with your photo.
For the cosy ones
If you like it quiet and relaxed at home, you're sure to enjoy cosy accessories or beautiful decorations. Our photo tiles or a canva can set the scene for your moments together. A photo puzzle or a photo album are also a great idea. The photo book can be a look back at your history over the last decade.
