The traditional gift for a third wedding anniversary is an item made of leather. If you are giving a gift to your spouse, you would probably give him or her something that is a bit more significant than what you would give a couple. If you are trying to find something for your husband, you might consider a leather desk chair, briefcase, luggage, tool belt, designer shoes or clothing. When you are giving a gift to a couple, you will want to select something that they both can enjoy, such as leather home d items or a leather picture frame with their wedding picture in it.

If you want to get a jewelry gift for your wife on your third wedding anniversary, the pearl is the "gem" of this anniversary. Pearls can be in several types of gift ideas. A string of pearls, drop pearl necklace, pearl earrings or a pearl bracelet are all appropriate gifts. Take into account what your wife’s taste in jewelry is before buying her a long string of pearls or other piece. You may consider looking through the jewelry that she already has, so that you don’t buy her the same type of jewelry she may already own.
