Leather luxe: gift ideas for your third wedding anniversary

By your third wedding anniversary, you’ve really started to figure out this marriage thing. There is a strength and resilience to your partnership, but also a warmth and a natural flow; for anniversary number three, these qualities are symbolised with a gift of leather. Modern alternatives include crystal and glass, but if you prefer to go down the traditional route, you might be surprised by how versatile leather can be.

Prized for its durability and flexibility, leather is perfect for gifts that are built to last. Everyday items, such as a leather-strap watch or a wallet, will long outlive their cheaper substitutes. Or choose something for your home, like a cowhide rug, for a lifetime gift you can both enjoy. The fantastic thing about leather is that it can be both masculine and feminine, so you are certain to find the perfect present for your partner.
