10th Anniversary Gifts Under $50: Sweet Sentiments for Any Budget

Light, portable, and eco-friendly, the SIGG Traveler packs about 0.6 L into a roughly 106-110 g bottle made from 100% recycled aluminum. In our testing, the BPA-free EcoCare lining kept flavors clean, and the leak-proof screw cap handled both carbonated and still drinks. Do note the thin aluminum can dent if dropped, and the exterior can feel slippery; a few reviewers also mention cap durability or occasional leaks. At $20, it's a thoughtful, budget 10th-anniversary add-on for hikes, commutes, or gym bags.

A half sheet that actually stays flat, Nordic Ware's natural aluminum pan browns cookies and roasts vegetables evenly in our testing. Rolled, reinforced rims resist warping and are easy to grip, while the lightweight build makes frequent baking feel less cumbersome. For best results, hand wash only; natural aluminum can react with acidic foods and discolor, and the embossed logo may trap oil and need extra scrubbing. At $33, it's a reliable, under-$50 upgrade for any home baker.

Celebrate a decade of memories with a personalized photo mug that won't blow the budget. In our testing, the 11-oz size felt comfy to hold and perfect for a standard morning coffee, and the collage printing added a sweet, sentimental touch. Our experience shows ceramic can chip if dropped, and design coverage depends on your layout - use high-resolution images and mind the margins for best results. At under $10, it's a charming everyday reminder of favorite moments from the last ten years.

Few gifts feel more personal than a custom keychain, and this stainless steel bar lets you engrave up to 25 characters to mark a date, coordinates, or a sweet inside joke. During our review, we liked that it arrives gift-ready and ships quickly, making last-minute anniversary gifting less stressful. Space is limited to 25 characters per side, and optional back engraving costs an extra $10, so plan your message carefully. Because it's personalized, returns aren't accepted, but at $38, it's a polished keepsake they'll actually use.

This OXO shaker streamlines date-night cocktails with a built-in jigger marked for easy measuring and an integrated strainer for a tidy pour. In our testing, the seal stayed tight and leak-resistant, though the single-wall stainless steel gets very cold; use a bar towel if your hands are sensitive. Some users report rust over time at the base, so dry thoroughly after washing. The lid can be tough for small hands to pop after shaking, but at $29.99 it's a sleek, practical gift.

For a meaningful date night, this compact Get Closer Dating Edition packs 100 prompts across Close, Closer, and Closest levels to ease you into deeper conversation. Our experience shows the progression works well and the deck travels easily for anniversaries away from home. Note that questions can feel repetitive over multiple sessions, and the sturdy but simple card stock and box can show wear; also, it avoids sexually explicit content. We appreciate the recycled, FSC-certified paper and plastic-free packaging.

Looking for a playful anniversary surprise that keeps the mood light? In our testing, Exploding Kittens delivered quick, laugh-out-loud rounds that are easy to slip into game night, and the silly theme landed with both kids and adults. It's ideal as a party filler after dinner, though our experience shows the luck-heavy gameplay can irk anyone craving deeper strategy. At under $20, it's a budget-friendly way to spark shared laughs without a big time commitment - perfect for capping off an anniversary evening.

For an anniversary gift that invites new chapters, the Moleskine Classic is a polished, ready-to-write notebook. We found the durable hardcover, elastic closure, ribbon marker, and an inner pocket make it great for travel or a couples' memory log, and the paper feels smooth with ballpoints and gel pens. Our testing revealed thinner pages can show through or bleed with fountain pens and markers. While pricier than basic pads, its tidy design and portability make it a thoughtful under-$30 companion for the next decade.

Mark ten years with a pen that makes everyday notes feel special. During our review, the brass body gave a satisfying heft and the steel nib wrote smoothly with most papers, and we liked that it accepts Pilot cartridges and includes a converter for bottle inks. Our experience shows the weight can tire some hands, and nib quality varies - occasionally arriving scratchy or a bit too wet. The included CON-40 holds modest ink, but at around $40, it's a refined, practical keepsake.

Capture the celebration in tangible keepsakes with Instax Mini film that works in any Fujifilm Instax Mini camera. During our review, we found colors render vivid and natural in most lighting, and it's a more affordable choice than many third-party packs. Our experience shows improper loading can lead to pale or underdeveloped frames, and some shots skew a bit grainy or soft. While cost per exposure is higher than digital, the instant prints make sweet party favors or a memory wall from the night.

A classic that earns its keep, the Lodge 10.25-inch skillet comes pre-seasoned and ready to sear steaks, bake cornbread, or fry eggs right out of the box. In our testing, heat retention and even cooking were excellent for the price, and the pan should last for years with proper care. The trade-offs: it's heavy, needs regular seasoning, and will rust if left wet. Dry thoroughly and oil lightly after cleaning, and this under-$25 workhorse becomes a long-term kitchen staple.

If breakfast-in-bed is your anniversary vibe, the Dash MultiMaker makes adorable mini waffles with removable plates that simplify cleanup. During our review, we loved the compact footprint and the fun unicorn and dinosaur shapes for special mornings or kids at home. Just know it cooks one mini waffle at a time and novelty plates can brown unevenly; thicker batter helped our results. Some users report durability issues, so treat it gently and consider it for occasional joy rather than all-day brunch duty.

These lightweight gold hoops are a simple, elegant nod to ten years together without stretching the budget. During our review, we found them comfortable for all-day wear and appreciated the hypoallergenic, nickel-free design for sensitive ears. Do keep them away from water, perfume, and lotions - our experience shows the plating can dull, and some pairs arrive with tight posts or stiff closures. At under $15, they're an easy add to an anniversary gift box or paired with a handwritten note.

This 24-color Goldfaber Aqua set makes an easy entry into watercolor pencil art for couples capturing trip memories or quiet creative nights. In our testing, the fully water-soluble leads activated smoothly with a wet brush, and the 3.3 mm SV-bonded cores held up well to sharpening. As a student-grade line, colors and lightfastness won't match pro pencils, and 24 shades can feel limiting; pricing varies by retailer. The reusable metal tin keeps everything tidy and gift-ready under $30.

Planning a handmade anniversary card or scrapbook page? In our testing, the Tombow Dual Brush set delivered versatile control with a flexible brush tip for lettering and a fine tip for details, and the portrait palette offers realistic skin tones for drawings. Our experience shows the wet, water-based ink can streak or bleed on thin paper, and caps don't always match the true shade - test swatches help. When blending, clean the tips to avoid color contamination, and you'll get smooth, watercolor-like transitions.

Give their coffee ritual a playful twist with Monin's Mini Coffee Collection: five 1.7-oz syrups that make it easy to sample flavors before committing to full-size bottles. In our tasting, the natural flavors were fun to mix and the set's gluten-free, non-GMO, kosher, and vegan labels make gifting simple across dietary needs. Manage expectations on size and caps - some buyers find the bottles smaller than expected or tricky to open - and flavor preferences vary. At $9.99, it's a charming, travel-friendly add-on.

Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice is a cozy, crowd-pleasing black tea blend that fills the room with cinnamon, orange peel, and clove aromas. In our tasting, the cinnamon-forward profile felt warming and celebratory - perfect for a 10th-anniversary night in - and the reusable gift tin looks charming on a counter. Be aware it's caffeinated and can taste overly sweet or intense to some palates, with natural and artificial flavors that may not suit purists. For spice lovers, it's a delightfully affordable treat.
