Experience Gifts For A 10th Anniversary
Often times the gifts that leave the most lasting impression aren’t items, but experiences we share with the ones we love. 10 years is a major milestone, and a great opportunity to shake up the daily routine with an extra special trip or activity you can enjoy together (or with the whole family). Here are some of our favorite Experience Gifts you can give for a 10th anniversary:
- A Cooking Class
- A Couples Spa Day
- A Romantic Getaway
- Tickets To A Concert
- Wine Tasting
A cooking class is a great time to bond and learn something new! Typical classes focus on one or 2 dishes or a full meal you can prepare together that evening. Knowing how to create a wonderful meal can really come in handy the next time you can’t figure out what to eat!
Take a little time to pamper yourselves together with a luxurious spa day! Unwind and relax at the local spa as a couple to help strengthen your relationship and enjoy each other’s company. There are usually some great deals on Groupon, or check out the local spa’s website directly!
An anniversary is the perfect opportunity to take some time to travel together! No matter what your tastes, a few days alone away from the day to day grind is great for just about any relationship. Whether you go halfway around the world, or just book a room for the night across town (maybe away from the kids), this is time tested winner! AirBnB can be a great choice for travelers, letting you experience a bit more of the local culture and life, or a traditional hotel is always a pleaser too!
Concerts can be among the most memorable experiences in our lives, and it’s as much about the people we’re with as it is who’s performing. If your significant other has a favorite band touring near you, picking up a set of tickets for the 2 of you is a fantastic option! You’ll look back fondly at the evening for years to come!
If you and your significant other enjoy a fine glass of wine, consider a wine tasting tour! You don’t have to be a wine-snob to appreciate a flight or 2 of amazing wines. This can be a fun way to forge your bond even stronger, and if you don’t live near wine-country, it’s a good opportunity to get away for a few days as well!

How To Find The Perfect 10 Year Anniversary Gift
Goodness, 10 long years! A whole decade of love and memories to cherish together for a lifetime. This is a momentous occasion, and worthy of a massive celebration. Be sure you take the time out from the daily grind to mark this the right way, after all you’ve earned it!
It can be tough figuring out what to gift for the 10 year anniversary. After so many gifting occasions over the years, it can start to seem like they already have everything they could ever want or need. But, there’s always something out there, and it usually just means thinking outside the box.
We’ve got some great options listed above, but if you’re still struggling to choose the right item, here are some other things you should keep in mind when choosing a tenth anniversary present for your husband or wife:
1) Should you go with a traditional 10th anniversary gift?
A good starting point is whether you want to go with a customary or traditional gift for the big 1-0. If you’ve been sticking with tradition every year for the last 10 years, then you should probably stick with Aluminum (or Tin). On the other hand, if you’ve been going your own way each year, you shouldn’t feel obligated. There are some cool aluminum options out there, but going non-traditional will open up a lot of options.
2) Should you go with a couples gift?
Another great thing to keep in mind is whether you should go with a couples gift you can both enjoy together (something like a wine of the month club), or get them something that’s special just for them. Shared experiences and gifts can make them more special, but making sure they have something they’ll enjoy on their own terms is great too.
3) Should you give an experience?
As a milestone anniversary, we tend to strongly suggest giving an experience gift like a romantic vacation. These gifts tend to stick with us longer in our memories and warm our hearts when we think back on them. Looking back on a life filled with romantic trips every few years to mark the day you 2 became one is certainly something to strive for!
4) Should you make something by hand?
Putting a bit more time and effort into a gift than just clicking a few buttons and waiting for it to show up on the porch is usually a good option. If you’re at all crafty (or even if you aren’t), creating something special by hand can really let them know how special they are to you and show them your love!
Our Time Tested Gifting Principles
Beyond the brainstorming basics, there are a few guiding principles you should keep in mind:
- Price isn’t everything - sometimes the best gifts are handmade, inexpensive, or free.
- Practical isn’t always best - treating him to something he may not buy for himself is always a good idea.
- Give from the heart - something that holds deeper meaning for him is sure to make a lasting impression.
- Be inventive - truly unique and creative presents mean thinking outside the box.
