Ten years. A decade. 3,650 days (not counting leap years). And you're still here, hand in hand, enduring the snoring, the dirty socks lying around, the series started without you... It's beautiful, isn't it?
But above all, it's a milestone. And not just any milestone: the tin wedding anniversary. A somewhat underestimated metal, certainly, but one that symbolizes the strength, flexibility, and durability of the couple. A bit like the two of you, ultimately.
So obviously, an occasion like this deserves a gift that's worthy . Something that says: "Well done to us, we survived the Ikea decor, the kids, the mortgage... and we want more!"
But... what to give? A designer toaster? A pewter ring? A weekend away from the kids? Here's our ultra-comprehensive (and guaranteed hassle-free) guide to finding the perfect gift for your 10th wedding anniversary .
Jewelry is a classic, let's not kid ourselves. But classic doesn't mean boring. It's all about choice and intention .
Okay, let's be honest: giving a piece of pewter jewelry is a bit like giving an anchovy pizza. It might be a hit... but you have to be sure. Pewter is symbolic, sure, but when it comes to elegance and longevity, gold or silver are in a different league. And even if it doesn't rival a wedding dress in terms of luxury and refinement, a piece of jewelry engraved with the wedding date or a cute (or completely wacky, depending on your style) message always hits the mark.
Personalization is key. Initials, a GPS coordinate of the meeting place, a quote from your favorite movie, the chorus of a song...
A unique piece of jewelry immediately makes it seem more like "I thought about it" and less like "I bought it quickly on my lunch break."
Because it's better together. And above all, because after ten years of daily life, a romantic break does a world of good.
Imagine: You tell him you're leaving tomorrow. You've booked everything. The hotel, the massages, the restaurant... You? Boss of the game!
It's a gift that says, "We're choosing each other again, and we're giving each other time." And frankly, who doesn't dream of that?
Returning to the scene of your first kiss, your marriage proposal, or that impromptu road trip where you slept in the car...
It's more than a journey, it's a pilgrimage of love , and it gives you the kind of memory that will make you smile in twenty years.
Objects are nice. But memories last. So why not focus on a unique experience ?
Cooking, pottery, wine tasting, ballroom dancing, skydiving (for the intrepid), winter wedding dresses (for those who dream of magic in the cold)... The idea is to experience a moment of complicity, even if you end up with a bent vase or a sprained ankle. What matters is the fun (and the compromising souvenir photos).
Get out your youthful looks and head to a concert, a stand-up comedy, or a play.
Nothing like it to reconnect with lightness , humor, and maybe even a little rock'n'roll.
We often underestimate the power of handmade gifts. Yet, they have a certain charm . No, you don't have to knit a sweater (unless you're super talented). But here are some ideas.
A good old scrapbook with photos, concert tickets, scribbled love notes...
Add a few embarrassing anecdotes, a cheeky wink or two, and you have a genuine, funny, and touching gift.
It may sound corny, but it's incredibly effective .
Ten years can also be celebrated with words. You don't have to be Victor Hugo. Just be sincere. Talk about the past, the present, and especially everything you still hope to experience together. (Yes, even the unglamorous stuff, like Sundays spent comparing stick vacuums.)
If your other half loves useful things (and you're tired of gifts that end up at the bottom of a closet), aim for something practical but eye-catching, like an elegant Satin Wedding Dress that will make an impact while being a thoughtful choice.
Paired smartwatches, dawn simulator alarm clocks, Bluetooth speakers that play your song when you wake up...
Yes, technology can be romantic too. As long as you put a little thought into it.
A personalized painting, an illustration of your constellation on your wedding day, a clock with your initials...
They are useful and meaningful objects that decorate and remind you that you are a lasting duo.
Because sometimes, instead of giving yourself two average gifts, you go all out on just one .
Wine boxes, restaurant boxes, book boxes, home spa boxes... There's everything these days.
And it's a bit like receiving a little gift every month , a regular reminder of your bond.
A musical instrument to learn together, a photo printer to document your life, a plus-size wedding dress for the most beautiful day to celebrate together, a top-notch barbecue for summer evenings...
The gift becomes a source of shared moments, not just an object lying around.
Okay, so we scratched the surface a bit at first. But if you like symbols, play the game to the hilt .
There are some lovely handcrafted pewter creations: statuettes, engraved cups, small decorative objects, etc.
Choose a beautiful, understated, elegant object. And above all, explain the symbolism with a touch of humor: "Like our relationship: strong, brilliant, and sometimes a little malleable."
Take a pretty tin (or one with a metallic effect) and fill it with little mementos from those first ten years.
Add a note: don't open it for another ten years . It's poetic, a little moving, and it sets a date for the future.
Want to really surprise someone? Here are some original but effective ideas.
No, it's not a joke. More and more services are offering to plant a tree in your name. It's romantic, symbolic, and downright eco-friendly. Imagine: you, in your elegant, light, backless wedding dress , planting this young tree that will grow with your love. You can even go visit it. And in a few years, say to yourself, "Do you see that oak tree? It's our love. It's sturdy. And it's home to squirrels."
Okay, it's a little more radical. But for couples who are a bit rock, the couple tattoo is the indelible version of the promise.
No need to draw a portrait (unless you like the challenge), a small discreet symbol, a date, a sentence, it's enough to say: "You and me, it's forever." (And what's more, it impresses at the neighbor's barbecue.) This way if that speaks to you
Ultimately, the price or size of the gift doesn't matter. What matters is the gesture, the intention, and the pleasure of surprising the other person.
Ten years of marriage isn't just a date. It's living proof of your complicity, your patience (sometimes XXL), and your love .
Whether you choose a romantic getaway, a personalized piece of jewelry, or a tin box full of memories, remember:
This gift is a nod to everything you've already built... and everything you still have to experience.
And who knows? In ten years, you might be looking for "what to give for 20 years of marriage"... We'll be waiting for you with pleasure. Until then: happy tin wedding anniversary!
