Third Wedding Anniversary Gifts and Ideas
Gift Suggestions for the Traditional Leather Anniversary
Nov 24, 2008
Observing the traditional lists for wedding anniversary gifts can be fun. While some of the themes can seem expensive, it is not necessary to spend a lot of money to find an appropriate gift. The third or leather anniversary can be a time to indulge, and there are also many token gifts that will bring a smile to a loved one’s face.
Third Anniversary Gifts for Men
Wallets and briefcases are always popular gifts for men. It is important to keep personal requirements or preferences in mind. Some men like to carry change in their wallet, others prefer a money clip. Does he carry many different cards?
Briefcases too need to be judged on their merits. A conservative square briefcase would not suit someone with a more casual style. Consider a messenger bag in soft leather.
A leather toiletry bag or shaving kit is a useful gift for a regular traveller. They can be given pre-filled with small toiletry items to really streamline packing for travel.
Sports fans don’t have to miss out at anniversary time. Wrap up tickets to the big game with a leather baseball, football or cricket ball.
Third Anniversary Gifts for Women
Shoes and handbags are at the top of many women’s list of favourite things. These are difficult items to purchase for someone else. Consider a gift voucher, or perhaps the gift could be a shopping trip together so she can choose for herself.
Soft leather gloves are elegant and timeless. Look for special driving gloves if she has a lengthy daily commute.
Fudge the theme a little and give some sheepskin Uggs or slippers. While not quite leather, they will certainly warm her toes in winter.
Give a leather manicure set along with some colourful nail polish and some rich hand cream.
Fun Leather Anniversary Gifts
Buy matching boxing gloves and sign up for boxercise classes together. These classes improve hand-eye coordination as well as giving a good overall workout.
Pack a small leather overnight bag or valise for a weekend away together. The bag can be borrowed if necessary; it is the holiday that is the gift.
Homemade or Inexpensive Leather Anniversary Gifts
Leather bracelets can be masculine or feminine depending on the detail and style. Markets are a good place to find inexpensive handcrafted pieces.
A leather bookmark would be a useful gift for an avid reader.
A silver charm hung on the end of a thin leather tie makes a personal token to commemorate the third year together.
If finding the perfect leather gift still proves too difficult, the modern anniversary list marks the third anniversary as crystal or glass.
