Anniversary Gifts And Colors
Mon, 05 Apr 2010 08:57:52 +0100
Exchange of gifts is a powerful way in which people establish bonds and connections. They are expressions of social relationships since the early times. Indulging in the act of giving the tenth wedding anniversary gift feels much better than words could ever tell, simply because the journey of reaching a decade of a lifetime has been met.
The traditional 10th anniversary gift is made of tin. Along with a variety of tin-made home decors, antiques and tin-made personalized keepsakes, tin-cup jewelries are also available in the market today.
Alternatively, modern choices are shifted on aluminum products like watches, jewelry box, wine bottle totes, tableware, etc. Tin and aluminum are both ductile, which represents the flexibility of the full ten years together.
Giving your wife daffodils symbolize rebirth and spring. Daffodils bloom during springtime, which for those off season anniversaries, faux flowers can be an alternative that can be found in craft stores.
Celebrating the day with family and friends or just a private get-together should be themed with the anniversary colors of silver and blue. Decorations with such colors create the chill and relax sensation for the event.
A gift to yourselves can be an outdoor adventure like going picnic, camping, skiing, or any winter fun. Sneak up on any 10th anniversary present for more excitement and romance.
Any woman, including man, will be fascinated with a jeweled gift. Diamonds and blue sapphires would most likely be the stone. Men, as the most difficult to give, can have either a diamond stick pin, cufflinks or a stone-themed watch. Women can be given a ring, necklace, bracelet, anklet, pins or brooch, or a pendant.
No matter what set-up you are going to excite your spouse on your special day, any given 10th anniversary gift will forever be etched in someone’s heart.

Try to arrange a gathering of all your family. A family get together where they can catch up with their family as well.

I’m not sure where you are located, so I can’t give you any ideas for traveling. For my parent’s 50th, my sister and I traveled to their place in Florida with our families. For gifts, I purchased several magazines issued the week/date they were married–my dad got a kick out of an old Life magazine, and old Playboy (weird to buy for dad, I know), and an old Sports Illustrated. I got them an old brochure from the place they went on their honeymoon , and I got a recording of some #1 music hits for the year they were married. Perhaps, if they got married in a church, you could take a picture of what the place looks like now. Even better, if they had groomsmen or bridesmaids and they are still living, you could ask each to write a short note, or to provide a "now" picture. You could also do a photo collage of then and now, or make a DVD set to music using pictures through the years. It is not difficult to do. I wish you a lot of luck, and congrats to your parents on their anniversary!

Depending on where you’re (or they’re) from. Give them a gift certificate to a nice Bed and breakfast, with dinner. My mom and dad used to like that.

For my Grandparent’s 50th, my mom and I aquired old photos of them and of others in the family and had them put on fabric, which we then made a quilt out of. It turned out very interesting, since some photos were in black and white and some in color and we used all different colors of fabric and designs. We even hand-embroidered some decor or the names of people onto it. (maybe even a pillow or two instead of a quilt would work!)
If you can’t get that type of thing together, try asking each of their kids to make a page or two for a photo album… either of old pictures you have of them, or of the family they have now. Every page will turn out different, but it would be nice to see the individuality from each of their kids and their families.
Then make sure they are all sent to the same place to be put together to send to the parents.
Another thing my mom and I put together was a "family tree". I don’t remember where we got it, but it was a standing metal tree, with what looked like half-lockets hanging from the branches, and in each one we put our pictures, and had people send their pictures to us to put together.

As far as some place to go.. I don’t know where your parents live, but maybe something fun like a dinner train ride or scenic train ride/historical/theater would be fun.

We just did this for our 70 year old parents. All of the siblings live in different states, but we managed to get together for one weekend to make a video for our parents. (Yes, it was a sacrifice and difficult to arrange, but that’s what made this gift so incredibly special for my parents. Plus, if your budget is $1000, you should be able to make this happen)
Basically, we had my husband ask all 4 siblings a series of questions and each sibling had a chance to answer. (Privately, so no one knew the other’s answers) Sample questions included: Which one of you gave your mother the most headaches? What’s something most of the world doesn’t know about your mom or dad? Why do you think they’ve stayed together for so long? Which one of your father’s habits is most annoying to your mother?
After the interviews, we put pictures of them (throughout the years) to music. It was the perfect gift. A mix of humor and sentimental value. My parents watch the video all the time and they just love it.

I’ll have to suggest http://www.creanta.com
They turn any image, including your favorite photograph into a hand made painting (even Andy Worhal style paintings).
Maybe a painting of their wedding picture? Or one of all of you together (these guys can put together different pictures into a single painting at no extra charge).
What I liked of them is that they at reeeeaally good at capturing the physical likeness and they are very, very affordable. I was impressed with the results.
They do portrait, pets, landscapes and anything that means something to you (like your first car, favorite vacation spot, etc).
They’re the nicest people… I was late with my friend’s gift, so they even made a custom card and mail it to her to notify her that a special gift was coming her way. I highly recommend them.
Best wishes!!
