3rd Wedding Anniversary Gifts - Leather Anniversary

Leather is the traditional gift given on a third wedding anniversary. 

Traditional 3 year anniversary gifts include leather bags, belts, gloves and wallets; these leather anniversary gifts are often given to mark three years of marriage. A more modern twist on the traditional 3 year anniversary gift would be a personalised keepsake made of leather, such as the engraved keyrings or personalised bookmarks we make at Create Gift Love.

The third wedding anniversary is celebrated with a leather gift because it is a material known for its resilience and protective qualities. It’s thought that by the 3rd wedding anniversary, a relationship will have developed strength and durability (characteristics shared with leather), in contrast to the more delicate paper and cotton gifts given in the first and second years.

Leather is a natural material that ages beautifully when cared for well, and, just like each individual relationship, every hide is unique with its own history, markings and stories to tell.

Giving your husband or wife a leather wedding anniversary gift is the most traditional way to celebrate 3 years of marriage (and if you’re looking for 3rd anniversary gift ideas, you’re in the right place!). Another way to celebrate could be a date night based on the third wedding anniversary gift themes. Why not sign yourself up for a leathercraft workshop or get inspired by the official third anniversary flower symbol with a visit to a sunflower field?
