Gift-Giving Help


Help! I need someone!


No - not the Beatles song. I really need your help.


My 3rd anniversary (remember this is my second marriage) is coming up next week, and for our first and second anniversaries, I was able to find gifts that reflected both the traditional and modern themes (paper & clocks, cotton & china) for anniversary gifts.


The third anniversary gifts are leather (traditional) and crystal (modern). I spent hours searching today and found nothing I wanted! Now, don't get too creative with the leather! We're not into that. I've thought of a wallet, but he doesn't need one. A belt is too impersonal. So are shoes. I've thought of a leather picture frame or a leather kleenex box for his table, and those are maybes, but what can all of you come up with?


I also checked tickets for all of the major performing arts and sports in our area, and there is nothing available any time soon that I think he would be interested in. I could have put some tickets in a leather pouch or something. But the tickets aren't going to work out. And crystal? Maybe a pair of crystal wine glasses will work. Come on, bloggy friends! Help me think of something unique for anniversary gifts made of leather or crystal! Please?

  2. WOW - love the wtch idea from above!

    For our 3rd I got hubby a little crystal bear figure - it is a long story - but the had sentimental meaning...you cold look for a crystal figureine or object that reflected something on how you met or a special memory. I wrapped it in a little leather pouch that he put his wedding cufflinks into..

    When you see the right thing, you will know. It sure is tough though.

    Good luck!

  5. hmmm, a leather gift is tricky. Since I am single, only a few Leather items pop into my mind and even tho you are 'not into' that, there are some very very classy leather teddy's :) Good Luck! and have a great Anniversary too.

  7. Watch came to my mind too.
    Okay I am thinking a leather keychain, or a leatherman tool. For crystal if he would wear jewelry...something I never thought my dad would, maybe a meaningful crystal to express love. Otherwise the wine glasses would be a great idea too.
