Gifts of Leather

• Leather items are traditionally given on a third anniversary. Leather jackets, wallets, belts, shoes, and purses are a few popular gifts. Leather saddles, luggage and furniture are also good choices. Purchasing your partner's favorite book in a leather-bound cover or a journal would also be a good option. Alternatives may include purchasing similar items made of hemp or faux leather.
  
  

Gifts of Crystal or Glass

• Crystal or glass stemware, dishes or keepsake items make beautiful third anniversary gifts. Crystal and glass are modern third anniversary symbols and can be purchased in many specialty shops in various forms. Buy a crystal or glass rose, vase, or a figurine that will be a meaningful gift for your partner. Crystal and glass candle holders are another good option as are engraved glass mugs or glassware.
  
  

Gifts of Pearl or Jade

• The gemstones of the third anniversary are pearl and jade. Pearl earrings or necklaces make an elegant gift for a third anniversary. Jade can be made into personalized pendants, engraved as a mantle ornament or made into specialized jewelry pieces.
  
  

Gifts of Three

• For a more modern unique approach, purchase gifts relating to the three years of marriage. Buy a spa package that includes three distinct treatments or a sports package for three events to attend. You can book a three-week vacation or make reservations for a three-course meal at your favorite restaurant. Purchase your partner's favorite trilogy set of books or movies or a set of paintings that include three prints in the set.
