Finding the Perfect Leather 3 Year Anniversary Gift

The traditional anniversary symbol for three years of marriage is leather. For the modernists out there, the symbol is crystal glass.

Leather gift ideas

Finding out that leather is the traditional anniversary symbol gives most couples a bit of a chuckle. Other than the obvious naughty gift ideas that may spring to mind, there are plenty of practical and meaningful gifts to choose from.

A leather jacket or pair of boots is a great gift for a woman or a man. If your gift is not a surprise you could even have a jacket tailored to fit. A leather belt is another idea for clothing. Designer leather boots or shoes can be a good option, but if you can't find the right pair of boots for walking or killer heels, perhaps you could get a gift voucher for her favourite store so she can choose them herself.

If you are buying a gift for your wife a leather handbag is a good option. Perhaps if she has a favourite designer you could indulge her with something really special.

A classic handbag from a designer like Louis Vuitton, Prada, Chanel, Hermes, or Marc Jacobs is something that will impress your wife and also be treasured for years to come. Buying a practical everyday bag is a good idea, that way she can get plenty of use out of it. That being said, an extravagant leather bag for special occasions is just as nice!

If your partner's taste is less classic and more modern, you might like to get them a bag by Chloe or Kooba. Both are favoured by celebrities, are beautifully made, and will last for years.

The men in your life could well enjoy designers just as much as you do! A quality leather briefcase for a man is something that will get plenty of use. If he has an iPad, you might like to get him a leather cover for it. For those in the business world, there are also leather laptop covers that also double as a display stand, which is great for presentations.

A leather bound book is another good idea for a 3 year anniversary gift, or a journal so your partner can keep a diary of feelings, emotions and thoughts. Other leather goods that might inspire you include a bookmark, a leather bracelet, wallet or purse.

If you don't keep your gifts a secret, you might like to go out and choose a new leather couch or armchair together. Perhaps you could surprise your partner with a leather Lazy Boy recliner, or leather massage chair.

Both the 3rd wedding anniversary symbols of leather and crystal lend themselves to some creative interpretations. Instead of just buying a leather 3 year anniversary gift for your partner, why not go and visit the tanneries in Morocco?

There are many ways to celebrate your three years of marriage together. Be sure to find the perfect 3 year anniversary gift to impress your partner and let them know just how special they are.

Are you still stuck for third anniversary gifts? Why not consider the modern symbol of crystal for your 3 year anniversary gift.
