11 Unique Modern and Traditional 3rd Wedding Anniversary Gifts

The 1st wedding anniversary is so special that by the time lucky number 3 comes around you may not think much of it. To this I say, that every day is a gift and it’s meant to be celebrated! I love tradition…making traditions and keeping traditions. What I’ve done on each of my wedding anniversaries is give one traditional and one modern gift. I don’t love to give expected or cliché gifts so the challenge is coming up with something that the recipient will love but also falls within the theme. Check out the below list for 11 traditional and modern unique 3rd wedding anniversary gifts.

FOR RELAXING

A leather sofa might be a lot, but adding a touch of leather to the sofa is a nice touch. If this is for your spouse’s office or private space, even better!

Leather Journal

FOR THOSE THAT WRITE

I’m not one to journal, but if I were this beautiful leather-bound option looks like something I would want to write in. I imagine someone’s great great grandkids finding it a hundred years from now and learning all about their ancestors. Seems like something straight out of a novel.
