I google 10th anniversary gifts and I get tin and aluminum. You’ve got to be kidding me!
If I google “10th anniversary jewelry” then I get every site saying that what they sell is what you need to get (e.g. blue Nile says diamonds, another site said eternity ring, etc.). I know nothing about jewelry other than my wife doesn’t wear a ton of it. What’s something thoughtful and appropriate for the milestone I can/should get? |

Don’t buy her jewelry if she hasn’t told you exactly what she wants.
I’m not a jewelry person, and I’ve clearly communicated to my spouse that I don’t want gifts, but he still sometimes buys jewelry and then pouts when I don’t wear it. |

If you’re going to buy your wife an anniversary but plug, the rule of thumb is you spend a week’s salary. |

I got a channel-set ring from Tiffany with center sapphires flanked by diamonds.
I only wear channel set because I didn't want pronged stones snagging. Tiffany has a range of price points. I didn't have an engagement ring so I have three channel set bands stacked with y plain wedding band. If she has a wedding set, maybe not a ring. But you cannot go wrong with Tiffany's imo. |

| If your wife doesn’t wear much jewelry it probably isn’t very important to her. I’d plan a trip instead. |

| I'm not a big jewelry person but we love to travel together. DH got me a tin world map that has these little magnets with sayings on them that you can put on the map. Things like ...where we met, where we said I Do, honeymoon, first trip together, most loved trip, first trip as a family, bucket list trip, etc. Then there was one that said 10th anniversary. We had planned that trip together. I love it. |

| Give her a gift card to a jewelry store or just take her to buy something she likes so she can flaunt it for anniversary dinner and photos. On actual day, give her flowers and take her out for a fancy dinner. It would be ideal if you just ask her if she would prefer jewelry or is there something else she wants more. |

And if it is for the 10th anniversary it should be tin or aluminum. |

It's an old-lady brand. |

| I am not much of a jewelry person except that my DH likes to give it so I wear it. For a 10th anniversary, I would consider diamond stud earrings (I actually wear these almost every day) or a gold bangle bracelet. |

If your wife doesn't wear a ton of jewelry, then I would recommend against buying her jewelry.
For our 10th anniversary, my husband bought me a really pretty aluminum vase. I filled it with fake branches and it sits in a place where we see it every day. |

| You know your wife better than we do, but I would have been annoyed if my husband spent $1000+ on jewelry as an anniversary present. We have better things to do with our money. The vase was perfect, even though I know the DCUMomwenches will scoff at it. |
