By the time you reach your third wedding anniversary, you’ve likely survived a few Thanksgivings at the in-laws, perhaps an ill-fated beach vacation where it rained every day, and the occasional debate over what cleaning the kitchen actually entails. In other words, you’ve embraced your marriage’s flexibility and durability — two qualities also found in leather, the traditional third anniversary gift to India online.
To help you find the perfect present, we’ve combed through our archive to find the best leather gifts for all types of spouses, from hiking boots for outdoorsy wives to jackets for style-savvy husbands. If you haven’t been married for three years yet, we also have guides for first and second anniversary gifts, as well as ones for four-year, five-year, seven-year, ten-year, 25-year, and 50-year gifts if you’re looking ahead.
For the frequent-flyer couple
For the frequent-flyer couple (with elaborate skin-care routines)
Dopp Men’s Veneto Traditional Framed Kit-Leather
It’s marketed as a men’s Dopp kit, but we think this sleek leather toiletry bag (with a rubberized bottom for protection against wet countertops) would work equally well as a makeup case or shaving kit.
For the stylish couple
While a good one won’t come cheap, a classic leather jacket will instantly up the cool factor of any outfit. Former Strategist deputy editor Jason Chen says that after buying his Schott motorcycle jacket, “I was practically living in the thing.” We also like the shearling-lined Arrivals jacket that’s similar to (even more expensive) jackets from the likes of Helmut Lang and Acne.
For the couple with a summer house
J.W. Hulme Classic Duffel
Another pricey-but-worth-it gift, this classic duffel bag (a favorite of our columnist Chris Black) is rugged enough to handle being tossed in the trunk or on the luggage racks of the Long Island Railroad on the way to your summer rental. And it’ll only look better with age.
For the couple with a home office
AmazonBasics High-Back Executive Chair - Black
If one or both of you work from home, this ergonomic office chair (“it has provided continuous comfort for my back, and my productivity has increased since switching,” according to one Amazon reviewer) will make your office hours more pleasant — and likely cut down on back massage requests.
For the couple who go on long walks together
A go-with-everything wardrobe essential, white leather sneakers are an ideal gift for your fashionable spouse. Blogger Soraya, of Soul of Soraya, loves this Frye style because of its “versatility and perfect fit,” while Jake Woolf, partner at Shop Seam, says the classic Stan Smiths are “pretty unimpeachable style-wise.”
For the couple who go on long walks together (in the snow)
Cold weather is no excuse to stop your romantic strolls. Take a cue from the Strategist team with these durable winter boots. Senior editor Anthony Rotunno calls the men’s style his “blizzard Red Wings,” and writer Liza Corsillo says the suede-and-leather Sorel boots are “what I wear when I want to stay dry and cozy but also look like an apres-ski influencer.”
For the #cloglife couple
Writer Lauren Mechling coined the term cloggerati and maintains that the statusy No. 6 clogs are “the Manolo of the increasingly crowded klompen field.” Guys can embrace the #cloglife, too, with this Yuketen pair (an elevated version of the more ubiquitous Birkenstock Boston style) recommended by Olie Arnold, style director at Mr Porter.
For the power couple
MYO String Tie A5 Planner Organizer v2
Give your spouse a gift that’ll help them look more put-together in meetings. This leather work portfolio can hold a notebook and has a dedicated pen slot, plus pouches for small notepads and business cards.
For the couple with big plans
Smythson 2020 Soho Agenda
For plotting out work or personal goals, give your spouse a planner that’s as nice-looking as it is functional. “The weekly agenda devotes a sizable square to each day, and there’s a weekly to-do list on the opposite page,” says writer Leah Bhabha, who has long been a fan of the Smythson Soho agenda.
