10th Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas Worth Celebrating in Style

A 10th wedding anniversary is no small feat—it’s a full decade of shared breakfasts, silent treatments, sideways glances across dinner tables, and those rare, glorious moments when you both laugh at the same joke. It deserves more than flowers and a card. It deserves something unforgettable—like one of our handpicked anniversary gifts that celebrate love in all its quirky, enduring glory.

The Symbolic Meaning Behind the 10-Year Wedding Anniversary

Traditionally, the 10-year wedding anniversary is represented by tin or aluminium—both materials known for their durability, resilience, and ability to bend without breaking. Much like a decade-long marriage, they symbolise strength, flexibility, and the beauty that comes with weathering life’s storms together. So when choosing a gift, think of something that echoes these qualities: enduring, adaptable, and thoroughly memorable.

Make Their Heart Race with a Steam Train Experience

If your love story feels a little like a black-and-white film with a crackling soundtrack and a sepia-tinged past, why not board something equally nostalgic? Our Steam Train Experience for Two takes you both back in time aboard a locomotive that chugs through the countryside like it’s still 1923. With rolling hills, vintage carriages, and the unmistakable scent of steam and oil in the air, it’s a slow and scenic way to fall in love all over again.

Tea for Two… or Perhaps Something More Decadent

• Deluxe Afternoon Tea for Two: Finger sandwiches, warm scones, clotted cream thicker than your in-laws’ skin, and a pot of tea to soothe the soul. Choose from elegant manor houses or themed tearooms that add a twist to tradition.
• Japanese Afternoon Tea at Sanctum Soho Hotel: For couples who like their romance with a splash of wasabi and rock 'n' roll opulence, this luxurious London escape is infused with elegance, umami, and prosecco.
• Afternoon Tea on a Luxury Yacht: Dine on coronation chicken brioche as the skyline glides past from the deck of the UK’s only floating five-star hotel. Yes, it’s as glorious as it sounds.
• Buckingham Palace & Sparkling Tea: For the couple who enjoy a royal affair, wander the gilded halls of the monarchy and toast to ten years with bubbles and beautifully crafted patisserie at The Royal Horseguards.

Something More Elevated… Literally

If you’re the kind of couple that still gives each other butterflies, why not try actual butterflies in the stomach with a Hot Air Balloon Flight with Champagne? Gently drift above Oxfordshire’s honey-coloured hills, toast to ten years with fizz, and watch the world below shrink beneath your shared perspective. From the initial lift-off to that celebratory sip of bubbly on landing, it’s the kind of experience that etches itself into your collective memory.

Love at New Heights with Views and Steaks

There’s romance, and then there’s a view from the clouds followed by steak and cocktails on solid ground. Begin your date 72 floors above London with the View from The Shard & Dining Experience. Watch the city glow beneath your feet, then descend to street level and ascend in sophistication with a sumptuous meal at Marco Pierre White’s London Steakhouse Co.

Or, if you prefer to skip the skyline and head straight for indulgence, try the Three Course Meal & Cocktail. It’s all rich sauces, perfectly grilled mains, and a cocktail strong enough to toast ten excellent years (and soften the memories of any less-than-excellent ones).

Why Experience Gifts Are Perfect for a 10th Wedding Anniversary

By year ten, you've likely exchanged every type of scented candle, novelty mug, and matching towel set under the sun. But experiences? They remain thrilling. Shared adventure reignites connection. Whether it’s soaring above the trees, sipping tea in regal surroundings, or watching steam curl from an old train as you whisper, “remember when?”, experiences form the marrow of what makes a lasting relationship tick.

Here’s what sets experience gifts apart:

• They create stories—not clutter
• They honour shared passions (or spark new ones)
• They’re often easier to agree on than kitchen gadgets
• They come with laughter, surprises, and—yes—sometimes Champagne
