You might not know this, but every wedding anniversary has its own traditional theme by year. With every year that passes, the value of the gift you give increases (all the way up to gold for your 50th and diamonds for your 60th!) Three years might not be considered the biggest anniversary milestone, but any couple that's been married for this amount of time will tell you there's plenty to celebrate. To help you find the right present for your one true love, we've scoured the internet to find the best three-year anniversary gifts out there.

3rd Anniversary Symbols

• Traditional: Leather

• Modern: Crystal or glass

• Gem: Pearl

• Flower: Sunflower

• Color: White

The traditional gift theme for three-year anniversaries is leather: It's stronger and tougher than the first anniversary gift (paper) and the second anniversary gift (cotton), but it's still flexible. “Well-loved leather will age beautifully and take on patina, scratches and scars — like the best relationships do," says fashion designer Clare Vivier, founder of Clare V. "A leather item that's monogrammed or hand-painted is a thoughtful gift."

Along with a variety of traditional leather gift ideas, we've also included modern options, like affordable pearl jewelry and thoughtful crystal keepsakes. We've even thrown in a few unique picks — think a card game to strengthen your bond and understand each other's love languages. But in the end, whether you're shopping for a great gift for your husband or a thoughtful present for your wife, consider what would mean the most to them. We promise that will guide you to the perfect gift.
