  Celebrate 10 years of marriage with a quick, fun anniversary gift that your partner will cherish and remember forever. Just because you don't have enough time to invest into something drawn out and lengthy doesn't mean you love your wife any less. It just means you're a busy person. So take a minute to think about what she'll appreciate most, and what fits your style, budget and mood.
  
  

Traditional 10th Anniversary Gifts

• Adhere to the traditional anniversary gift idea list with an item made from tin or aluminum. Electronic devices work well here, such as a digital photo frame or an MP3 player. Buy her favorite flower dipped in aluminum, or wrap some flowers with tin foil. Buy a case of drinks bottled in aluminum cans, or have them delivered every month on your anniversary date. Box your wife's favorite food, candy or lingerie in a tin container. Visit a thrift store or flea market and ask antique dealers for tin or aluminum gifts. Write out a love poem or frame a picture of the two of you with a pewter or aluminum frame.
  
  

Modern 10th Anniversary Gift Ideas

• Diamonds are the modern 10th anniversary gift choice with lots of innovative options. A quick trip to the jewelry store nets ideas like diamond bracelets, necklaces, pendants, rings, watches or brooches, or ask about engraved pieces that take only minutes to finish. Or try a diamond-encrusted locket housing a memorable photo. Anything with the name diamond offers a cheaper option, such as tickets to a Neil Diamond concert or a movie starring Lou Diamond Phillips.
  
  

Ten Times the Gifts

• Creative partners can give gifts using the number 10 as inspiration. Try giving 10 love coupons offering massages, pampering and spa retreats or a 10-day vacation to your wife's location of choice. Consider gifting 10 bottles of wine, pieces of lingerie, flowers or chocolates. Give $10 gift cards, anything embossed with the number 10 on it, or 10 10-word poems. Other ideas include a handmade book with 10 reasons why you love your partner or 10 nights of babysitting so your wife can indulge in 10 evenings to herself. Get creative, and think of what the number 10 means to her, then use it for your 10th anniversary gift.
