The most popular way to give tin as a gift is either through finding an appropriate pewter gift, which is 95% pure tin or give a tin containing something. Cake tins were a popular choice in the early 1900’s however given modern lives, the ability to make regular use of these are less and hence they are not so popular nowadays.

However, the traditional theme to the 10th year wedding anniversary often gets replaced by the modern theme of diamond jewellery. As they say, “diamonds are a girl’s best friend” and your wife of 10 years will adore a diamond gift. From jewellery, a watch or even diamond accessories, there is almost no end to the choices you can make for a gift with diamonds on it. It’s a personal gift, something that shows your true love for one another and as diamonds are the strongest stones in the world, it can be a reflection of your love together. Ten years is a long time and a diamond is ideal for marking this monumental occasion.

The Gemstone Anniversary List shows Black Onyx as the gem associated with the 10th Wedding Anniversary.  Lots of folklore and traditions surround gemstones, Black Onyx is said to promote vigour, steadfastness and stamina. It is also said to aid lesson learning, imparting self-confidence and helping you be at ease in your surroundings. Some folklore claimed wearing onyx round the neck helped to cool lust and promoted chastity, now that’s going to put you off buying an onyx necklace for your wife!

Appropriate Flowers for the 10th Anniversary

The Flowers anniversary list states Daffodils are the appropriate flowers for the tenth year. Unfortunately, the language of flowers states that the daffodil can mean refusal i.e. “I do not return your affection” so whoever constructed the flower list did not do their homework! Daffodils do have other meanings however and chivalrous is an alternate meaning mentioned although given the latter I would avoid giving daffodils to your loved one!
