I bet you’ve accomplish a lot together over these past few years. Now it is important to take the day and reminisces about all the wonderful moments that have passed. Enjoy your anniversary day together. If there is room in your budget, buy your significant other a little something special!
Let’s jump right in and find out what the 3rd anniversary theme is all about, and inspire you with our gift roundup.
What’s the Traditional Third Year Anniversary Gift?
At this point in your marriage, you’ll be aware of the durability of your relationship. Habits and patterns formed early in the relationship are solidified. It is also the time in a relationship where couples appreciate the security that a long lived bond provides — knowing a lot about each other and being at ease with anything that comes your way.
Perhaps that is why the traditionally the 3rd wedding anniversary gift in the US is leather. Leather is a material that is strong, flexible, and very durable. A resilient and rugged material that reaffirms how much you value your life partner.
Modern Third Anniversary Gift
For a modern twist on the third wedding anniversary gift, both crystal and glass are given which symbolizes reflection and beauty.
- Symbolic Flower: Sunflowers. Sunflowers are the official flower for a third anniversary. A symbol of adoration, loyalty and longevity, these bright yellow flowers live up to their name. Their strong stalks symbolize the foundation of your marriage while the vibrant petals represent love radiating outward. They send a reminder to stand tall and follow your dreams – an inspiring message for your years to come as a couple.
- Symbolic gem: Moonstone. The gemstone symbolizing the third year anniversary is the glowing moonstone. This stone is a fitting choice as it promotes good fortune in love. A stone of inner strength and growth, it also promotes balance, inspiration and has a calming effect on its wearer. Just in case either of you are June babies, all the better. It’s also the birthstone for the month of June! Alternatively, crystal and jade can also be gifted for the 3rd anniversary.

Just precision folds, clean lines, and one stunning piece of Italian craftsmanship.

Personalize it with his initials and if you have the budget to go all out, include an itinerary for a weekend away in the bag (planned and paid for by you, of course!).
Another one I really like is from Kodiak Leather.
Handmade with top-grain buffalo leather, the timeless appeal of a duffel bag will bring a smile to his face. Every guy should have a nice leather duffel bag, and this one has the bravado to match many looks. This bag is durable and stylish.
Ergonomic Office Chair
The right office chair makes a big difference to your work environment. Perhaps they wants to refresh a drab office space with a sleek and well-designed leather chair. Or, maybe it is time to dispose of the cheaper plastic variety for a more ergonomic office chair. Affordable and comfortable.
Bouquet of Sunflowers
Freshly cut flowers are always a good idea. Add some sunshine into your day with a bright bouquet of sunflowers. Not only are they the official flower for your third year, they make a robust and vibrant addition to your home. It’s tough to be in a bad mood around sunflowers.

Any interior designer lovers out there?
I had one of these leather ottoman’s growing up and can still remember it as a comforting companion for my feet.
