Every year of marriage has a fun gift theme to go along with it. For instance, paper is the go-to gift for newlyweds celebrating their first anniversary. If you're ringing in a decade of wedded bliss, traditional gifts are usually made of aluminum or tin.

"Tin or aluminum gifts are the most traditional for a 10th anniversary because you've been going strong for quite some time, and these are very durable materials. These materials symbolize strength and longevity," Emily Forrest, director of communications at wedding company Zola, says.

The wedding savant suggests getting a little creative to turn these materials into a unique and thoughtful anniversary gift.

"I love the idea of using the tin/aluminum as a vessel to contain memories. Store it with 10 keepsakes or mementos, one for/from every year of your marriage. For example, some photos, an item that reminds you of your honeymoon, a card, a little sparkle, etc.," she adds.

Not into the whole tin/aluminum theme? Diamonds, silver and daffodils are also associated with this milestone anniversary.

"Diamonds are known to be symbolic for 10 years because they symbolize strength and durability. What could be more forever than a diamond? 10 years is a great moment in time to either upgrade something you have, or get something new and special," Forrest mentions.

Roses are a classic for a reason, but daffodils are also a nice option to celebrate a decade together.

"Daffodils are the traditional 10th anniversary wedding flower. A simple bouquet of these bright yellow flowers is cheerful and greatly symbolizes the unrequited love between a couple," The Knot editor Samantha Lacia tells us.

Silver is an iconic jewelry material, and it's particularly appropriate for this milestone occasion. "Silver is the color associated with 10th wedding anniversary gifts, so sterling silver jewelry, decorative silver vases or other silver-colored items are great luxurious alternatives to tin or aluminum gifts," Iacia says.

Still not feeling inspired? You don't have to follow tradition to make your anniversary amazing.

"10 is a special number in itself and there are many gift ideas that aren't necessarily dictated by tradition but that celebrate a full decade together and are a little more affordable than diamonds. Surprise your partner with a trip, or go back to the spot where you had your honeymoon," Forrest suggests. "Spend a spa day together, or have the spa come to you! Or even create a list of 10 things that you've always wanted to do together in your neighborhood and check them off one by one over the course of the year."

A heart-shaped ornament that has your wedding date and names on it seems like the perfect way to mark the momentous occasion, and we're particularly fond of this affordable option.
