Unique 3rd Wedding Anniversary Gifts Using the Traditional Material of Leather

Five Simple Leather Presents that You Can Give Your Wife

Trying to find modern day gifts using the traditional 3rd wedding anniversary material of leather can be tough. Unless, of course, you are married to a modern-day cowgirl that would love a unique saddle. These are presents that are elegant, romantic and are sure to be a cherished item for years to come. (For those who are animal product conscious- all of these presents can also be purchased in the popular faux (fake) leather (or "pleather") with just a little searching.)

1. A leather picture frame containing a favorite dating photo or wedding photo. Better yet, get one of the two sided frames so you can inscribe the date of the first picture underneath the photograph and the date of your third wedding anniversary gift underneath the other. Make sure to take a romantic picture of the two of you that night so that she can slip it into the other slot.

2. A leather journal that can be a new love letters book Now you have a place where you can write each other notes like you use to. Start it off on the first page with a letter to her that shares your favorite memories over the last three years, a love poem or simply a note telling her how much she means to you. Do not worry if you are not poetically inclined. It will seem like her favorite poetry no matter what you write, just because you put the thought into writing it.

3. Bind her favorite classic book in leather. If you can't find someone locally that does this, search the internet for "leather book binding". From a cherished children's book to the first book that "touched her", this will be a unique conversation piece for years to come. Don't forget the third wedding anniversary inscription on the first page!

4. A leather purse filled with other small surprises. This is more of a unique way to wrap her presents, rather than being the gift, but it still incorporates the traditional material! Make sure that they are numbered in the order that she needs to open them. First reservations to her favorite restaurant, then tickets to show etc. Find a way to fit the whole evening in that purse. Finish it off with a small token of your appreciation, whether it be a ring, necklace or other jewelry item.
