3rd wedding anniversary 

gift ideas

 

traditional theme for 3rd anniversary gifts - leather

After the simplicity and softness of cotton (2nd anniversary theme), the reward for another year is that perennially tough, protective and achingly cool substance… leather! Marlon Brando's leather jacket in The Wild One. Connolly leather hides in a classic Bentley.And just maybe this durable, protective material is emblematic of how you protect each other from external challenges to your relationship?

Gift Ideas for 3rd anniversary 

There are smart leather products for all occasions (and what you do in the privacy of the marital home is up to you!). Also, unlike some themes, there are lots of opportunities to buy for men (despatch bags, braided leather bracelets). 

For women, a Lily Gardner embossed clutch with lace print lining hits that sweet spot between utility and glamour. 

  • Designer handbag

  • Cool leather wallet

  • Top Gun leather jacket

  • Upmarket briefcase, travel or laptop bag

  • Luggage set

  • Placemats and coasters

  • New shoes – and don’t forget suede…

Modern Theme for 3rd Anniversary Gifts – Glass  Crystal 

Unlike the rawhide toughness of leather, this theme highlights the delicate and potentially fragile nature of all relationships. They need care and to be protected! But glass and crystal items are also usually glittering and brilliant beauties.


Glass and crystal modern theme 3rd anniversary gift ideas

  • Crystal glassware – perhaps some wine glasses or whisky tumblers

  • Candlesticks

  • Paperweight

  • A glass-blowing experience

  • A trip to Waterford Crystal in Ireland

  • Lily Gardner Swarovski crystal pearls

gemstone for 3rd anniversary is pearl. Alternatives are Jade, Moonstone and Crystal 

Isn’t it totally amazing that a bit of grit sneaking into an oyster can be turned into a beautiful iridescent pearl? Concentric layers of calcium carbonate never looked so good! Well, what must be a pain in the bum for a mollusc is a godsend for present buyers. Pearl jewellery comes in all shapes and designs, not just simple spheres. Lily Gardner’s long graduated pearl earrings are a perfect example. 


If you are looking for an alternative stone as a 3rd anniversary gift Moonstone is intriguing. Moonstone’s name is derived from its pearly and opalescent sheen, or schiller, caused by light diffraction across its surface. The Romans admired moonstone, believing it to be derived from the solidified rays of the Moon. More recently it became popular during the Art Nouveau period, with Lalique using it in much of his jewellery.
