Leather Anniversary Gifts: 3rd Year and Beyond
Quick answer: Leather is the traditional gift for the 3rd wedding anniversary, and in the modern list it is the gift for the 9th. The best leather anniversary gifts are a wallet ($49 to $98), a ratchet belt ($44) or a handmade card holder ($74 to $84), personalized with a date or initials for free (up to 40 characters).
What anniversary is leather?
If you are asking what anniversary is leather: the traditional list assigns leather to the 3rd anniversary, and the modern list assigns it to the 9th. Most couples treat the lists loosely, and leather works for any year because it improves with use.
| Anniversary | List | Theme |
|---|---|---|
| 3rd | Traditional | Leather |
| 9th | Modern | Leather |

First anniversary or a milestone year
For a first or third anniversary, a wallet or a small personalized piece is enough. For a milestone year such as the 10th or 25th, step up to a handmade piece or a wallet and belt in matching colors ($108 to $113 for him). Our Hedonist Choice collection collects curated pieces. Read the wallet and belt gift guide for color matching.
Personalizing with a date or initials
Personalization is free: up to 40 characters including spaces, with no foil or in gold, silver, black or white foil. A wedding date or two sets of initials fit easily. Watch bands cannot be personalized, so put the date on a wallet or card holder instead. Write the exact text in advance because spaces and punctuation count. Personalized items are final sale. See the personalization guide.
Timing and presentation
Orders placed before 1 p.m. Central time ship the same business day, and US shipping is free. Customized orders take roughly two to three business days longer, so order two to three weeks before the date. Every wallet arrives in a branded gift box; a handwritten note inside carries the message that does not fit in 40 characters. Standard items can be returned within 30 days with free US return shipping. Postal carriers are busy right now. Most parcels arrive within standard delivery times, but to avoid delays, order 10 to 14 days before you need the gift.
