Crystal gift ideas

With crystal as the modern symbol for 3rd year anniversary gifts, glassware is the first thing that comes to mind. A crystal vase or ornament will look lovely in a traditionally styled home. A set of champagne glasses along with a great bottle of bubbly can be an excellent way to toast your three years of marriage too.

If the idea of crystal glasses reminds you of your grandmother's house, then think again. There are many young and modern designers that are making crystal popular again. Ornate is out, and sleek and modern design is in. For instance, Georg Jensen makes beautiful modern crystal objects including candlesticks, bowls, and paperweights.

Hanging crystals are an excellent themed gift and can also change the look of a room. Perhaps you could share a meal on your anniversary night under the beautiful reflected lights these hanging crystals create.

Another home ware idea is stained glass. You can buy artwork created with this beautiful coloured glass, or could even replace an existing window to add a unique feature to your home. Mirrors are also an excellent idea, whether a small pocket sized mirror to keep on hand, or a large decorative mirror to hang in your home. If you love retro, you might even get some mirrored tiles for a feature wall in your home.

If you are buying for your wife, you may like to consider Swarovski crystal jewellery or ornaments. Swarovski offer some beautiful jewellery pieces that your wife will treasure for many years to come.

Crystal earrings or a pendant is an excellent idea. They also make gorgeous crystal ornaments. A vase complete with crystal flowers is one of their stand out designs: there are roses, forget-me-nots, and sunflowers to choose from. They also have crystal earplugs and crystal flash drives for a present that is also practical and a little bit fun.

A watch with a crystal inset is a good idea for a man or women. In fact, an idea for 3rd year anniversary gifts for both of you is to go out shopping together and buy his and hers' watches.

Tourmaline crystal is an naturally occurring material that comes in a range of brilliant colours. You can find unpolished tourmaline that looks great on your mantelpiece, or perhaps even as a paperweight.

A similar idea for crystal inspired 3rd year anniversary gifts is to visit a glass factory, and perhaps even give glass blowing a try yourself. You might like to go together to learn this ancient art form.

Great days out that are inspired by your anniversary symbol could be a meal in a restaurant with a great view through a glass window. Perhaps in a high rise somewhere in the city, or if you venture into the country you could visit an old hotel with an glass domed orangery. Alternatively, a day exploring the Botanical Gardens in Kew is an excellent idea. Its beautiful glass conservatories are well worth a visit on any occasion.

Hopefully this has given you some great ideas for your 3rd year anniversary gifts. If you are still stuck for an idea for a present or something to do, why not a leather gift, which is the traditional symbol for the third anniversary.
