I don't know where the ideas came from for the things that mark each anniversary, it's one of those traditions that's been around so long, the reasons have been forgotten. Obviously you don't HAVE to follow this, but also I thought it was to do with what people bought the couple, not what you bought each other. I think buying your partner something should be your expression of your feelings for them, not following instructions; however, for people outside the relationship, it can be inspiration for a quirky gift.
If you've been married ten years, your reward for the effort you've put in is to be with someone else who puts in the effort, and your love for each other. However, that doesn't mean you can't buy yourselves something nice to enjoy together!
Congratulations on your anniversary, may there be many more.

why do you need a present? Making it 10 years is a present

That's what people get when they follow tradition. No where is it written that people must do this.
