What is the Traditional Gift for a 10 Year Wedding Anniversary?

Traditionally, you give tin gifts to celebrate a 10 year wedding anniversary because of what tin symbolises.

What Does Tin Symbolise for 10 Years of Marriage?

You give tin gifts for ten years of marriage as tin is a symbol of strength and durability - after 10 years together, you will have a bond that is strong and durable like tin, so you know you can overcome any obstacles together.

The traditional gift to mark 10 years of marriage is tin due to its relevant qualities - it's a strong metal but it is also durable.
