When you get married, a few things happen. First, you commit yourself to another person for the rest of your life. Second, your life mends with theirs to create a life together. And third, you now have a convenient outline of what to buy your spouse for each anniversary. When you’re dating or engaged, you may find that it’s difficult to know what to buy for your partner—hey, it’s normal—but when you’re married, there are age-old traditions that help nudge you along in the right direction.
When it comes to your three-year anniversary, it’s all about leather. That’s because, according to LeatherFacts.org, leather symbolizes “the durability, flexibility, and strength of your marriage.” A nice sentiment, right? Well, here’s the best news: Leather gifts are plentiful. Whether you’re looking to give your partner something personalized to memorialize your anniversary or something more practical that still symbolizes year three, the perfect gift exists. Here are 23 incredible three-year wedding anniversary gifts featuring highly-rated leather goods.
