Celebrating a 10-year anniversary is an important milestone in any relationship. Whether it's a wedding, dating or friendship anniversary, you want to mark the occasion with something special. A handmade gift can be one of the most meaningful ways to show your appreciation for that person and commemorate the decade together. Here are some ideas on how to make a unique and thoughtful gift for your 10 year anniversary:
1) Create a personalized photo album – choose photos from over the years that represent milestones in your relationship and create an album with captions expressing why they mean so much. It’s sure to bring back fond memories!
2) Make a time capsule – fill it with mementos such as letters, ticket stubs, cards etc., then bury it somewhere special like in their garden or backyard or even at their favorite spot together. This will be fun to dig up again when you reach twenty years!
3) Put together an audio compilation – record yourself talking about all of your favorite memories from throughout the last decade, along with snippets of conversations between yourselves (with permission!). You could also add music that has been significant during this period.
4) Design matching t-shirts – get creative by designing custom t-shirts for each other featuring symbols, words or phrases associated with your partnership/friendship/marriage etc. These would be great conversation starters whenever you wear them out!
5) Write them a letter - take some time to write down all of your thoughts and feelings about being part of this journey together over the past ten years; what have been its highs and lows? How has this person changed you? What do they mean to you? Reading these words aloud will surely bring tears of joy!
6) Cook/bake something special– surprise them by making one (or more!) dishes that remind both of you of happy times spent together during those first ten years; perhaps recreate their favorite dish from early dates or whip up something entirely new using ingredients symbolic of things shared over time. Either way, sharing food is always comforting and enjoyable!
Whatever gift idea you decide upon remember that nothing beats quality time spent celebrating each other’s company; so plan ahead for how best spend this momentous day too!
