Let me be the first to say congratulations! You have officially made it to another marvelous year with your husband, and it is that time to celebrate with your one true love. But, this begs the question of what could be a great way to commend this momentous occasion. Traditionally, on the 3rd wedding anniversary, it is common to give your partner something made of leather while a modern take calls for China. There are so many different ways, but for today, we will list a few that may help get some ideas going!

Unique 3rd Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas
Custom record
What better way to say I love you than to create an album composed of songs that you both love that take you through the history of your relationship? There are a few ways you can make this, whether it being a list of the songs on the record to add a sense of artistic style to it, or you could look into having a series of soundwaves that can be scanned to your device to help set the mood for that time of the year!
Star map
It could be written in the stars. An incredible way to celebrate your 3rd wedding anniversary with your husband is to show him how it was all meant to be. Surprise them with a map of the stars the day you met and see how beautifully the universe was aligned with a poster of the universe! If you want to add some flare to your star map, you could also look into creating a nightstand that glows much like the stars on the day that you met!
Creative Third-Year Wedding Anniversary Gifts
Photoshoot
Take a picture to remember this beautiful moment! A photoshoot would be the perfect way to celebrate how far you have come as a married couple. You could try to spice it up and do a friendly theme; whether you want it to be the roaring 20s or nature-influenced by a fun photoshoot is a great idea. There are great photographers in the local Cotswolds area that are more than happy to help set you up to have a once-in-a-lifetime experience celebrating your anniversary. At Green Antlers Photography, we offer a number of packages that you can find listed on our website for anniversaries that we intend to help make special and memorable for you to look back on your day with joy!
Staycation
Take a break, get away from everything, and remember how amazing the world is when it is just the two of you! Take a staycation for the weekend and escape to the countryside of Cotswolds, which has a variety of excellent boutique hotels. The Cotswolds Broadway Village transports you back in time with old rustic shops and beautiful nature. Bourton-on-the-Water has historic stone cottages and gorgeous waterways. These are only two of many places in the countryside that are perfect for a romantic getaway.

Let’s get something leather to go with the traditional theme of the 3rd year wedding anniversary. A leather keychain would be ideal for a minimalist anniversary gift. It can include your favorite photos from your wedding, your anniversary date, and a calendar counting every day since you tied the knot. Most leather keychains are color customizable, so you can pick out his favorite color to show how thoughtful you were when picking out his present.

You can add your anniversary date and a small message to your love about how fantastic this day was and how happy you were to say “I do.” Plus, you can always go right with that vintage aspect that a leather photo contributes to an image.
China Plate
Switching to the more modern take on the 3rd wedding anniversary, why not try to get your husband some fine China? A personalized China plate would be great to go with the theme of your 3rd anniversary, and you can add a message, the title of your wedding song, or an I love you.

If you have yet to really travel, you can also take this as a chance to find the places you have always wanted to travel to together and put them together in this beautiful map of your future adventures.
