3rd Anniversary Gifts for Him and Her

Leather Anniversary Gifts

Intro

Congratulations on making it to your 3rd year of marriage! Another year down… another anniversary gift to come up with! Luckily, you always have a starting point by looking at the theme for that year’s anniversary. The traditional 3rd year anniversary gift is leather. Strong, flexible, and ever changing, leather represents the growth and strength of your marriage over the past 3 years. The modern 3rd year anniversary gift is crystal or glass. Both beautiful and reflective, these gifts represent a time to look back on how far your marriage has come so far, and celebrate the beauty of your love. Choosing a symbolic gift can make giving anniversary gifts incredibly meaningful and a lot less stressful. Here are a few great 3rd year anniversary gifts to get you started on finding the perfect gift this year.  

 

Traditional 3rd Year Anniversary Gifts

As mentioned, the traditional 3rd year anniversary gift is leather. Easy enough, right? If you’re spouse is still into the leather pants and leather jacket look then yeah, this will be a breeze! But if not, you may need some guidance on alternative leather gifts. Leather represents the third year of marriage because it is strong, flexible, and continuously changes over the years. At this point in your marriage, you are becoming stronger every year, but you are also continuously changing, adapting, and being flexible for one another. The more you learn about how to love the other person, the more your marriage changes, grows, and strengthens. Finding a leather gift for your spouse on your 3rd year anniversary is a great way to represent all of these things and celebrate the love that continuously grows between the two of you. Here are some ideas to get you started on your leather gift hunt.

For Her

 

 

Leather Engraved Bracelet

For women, I really didn’t foresee there being many jewelry options for the leather gift theme. However, I was wrong, and there are actually some really cool pieces out there! Including this leather bracelet that can be versatile for women and men! This is a very cute and simple piece of jewelry that would make a very meaningful gift for your anniversary.

 

 

Leather Anniversary Gift For Her Necklace

 

Leather Necklaces

Here’s another example of how I was wrong about women’s leather jewelry! This beautiful lariat necklace has a leather “chain” that connects gorgeous sterling silver and turquoise pieces. There are many different varieties and styles of this kind of necklace, so if you think it matches your wife’s taste, you have options! Finding a piece that includes a pearl gemstone would add on another piece of the third anniversary theme and make the gift even more symbolic!

 

 

 

Fossil Leather Purse

If your wife loves purses, the leather anniversary is the perfect time to get her that designer leather bag she’s been eyeing! I love this simple and mid size cross body bag from Fossil. The options for purses range from simple and small, to detailed and large. Whatever your wife’s preference, she won’t be disappointed with a brand new leather purse for your anniversary!

Women's Watch

When it comes to leather, a watch with a leather band is always a safe bet, usually for men or women. There are tons of fashionable watches out there these days to choose from, giving you lots of possibilities when picking out the perfect watch for your wife! Upgrade her wrist bling with a new leather band watch for your 3rd anniversary!

 

 

 

Leather Earrings

Now if I didn’t think there was going to be leather jewelry options for women, I DEFINITELY didn’t think there would be leather earring options that were actually fashionable! But these leather leaf earrings are simple and elegant and would make a beautiful leather anniversary gift for any woman. And the best part is, you probably won’t have to worry about her having them already!

 

For Him

Leather Valet Tray

Men (fine...and women too) always seem to have a bunch of little things laying around. Give him a place to put the important things (keys, rings, watch, etc.) that is also a reminder of your love. The message on this sophisticated leather valet tray says: Thank God for 3 Years Together. The Day We got Married was the Beginning of many Blessings and Goodness for Us. Happy 3rd Anniversary. You can personalize with his name and your anniversary date! He’ll be especially grateful when he can always find his car keys!

Modern 3rd Year Anniversary Gifts

Crystal or glass is the modern third year anniversary gift. At first, similar to the modern second year anniversary gift of china or porcelain, I couldn’t think of much beyond dishes and boring gifts. Turns out, there are a lot of cute, meaningful, and creative crystal or glass gift ideas. Some of them are even dishes, but without being boring.

Personalized Beer Glasses

If your husband is an avid beer drinker, he’ll love having his own personalized set of glasses. These glasses make for a creative gift that he will be able to use and enjoy for years. If he’s not a beer guy and prefers whiskey instead, personalized rocks glasses are also available out there. Either of these make for a great addition to his bar ware.
