these are lovely! i would definitely get my boyfriend some great leather stuff for his bike, maybe an old brooks seat or swanky leather bar tape.

agree with brandeye. it is nice to have these anniversary ideas around. i don’t know whyyyy i always have ideas for my husband when it’s not time to get something but when the event rolls around I’m at a total loss on what to get.
Weirdest phenomenon!!!

My husband found me a cool pair of leather earring for our 3 year anniversary. I wish I had seen this post back then. I couldn’t think of anything and ended cheating and making him a nice steak dinner.

Funny, today is my husband David and my ACTUAL third wedding anniversary!! I hadn’t planned on getting him a gift (I thought our trip to San Fran this weekend should suffice) but I might now that I see all the great leather ideas! Thanks!

I was terrified of what my jokester husband would buy for our leather anniversary, but he ended up getting me a loverly leather purse which just so happened to be made by the same person I bought his gift from (a wallet)! Guess we were meant to be together. ;)

great post! my third anniversary was actually YESTERDAY…wish i’d seen this before! we decided to opt out of gifts and instead get tickets to the billy joel/elton john concert [SO excited!]…maybe i’ll wear my leather boots when we go :)

Thanks for this idea! I am going to try my hand at stamping leather for this anniversary! Also, my friend Lincoln at FiveLeft here in Vancouver makes some beautiful hand-crafted leather pieces. I bought this pop-up wallet for my partner when we first started dating, and he still loves it.
