    3rd Wedding Anniversary Gift ideas

    Got a bit of a panic on, anniversary next week and I'm out of ideas for what to get. I know that the themes are Leather or crystal/glass but what I've seen so far has been uninspiring. Anyone got any good ideas?

    Thanks in advance...

    Go out for a nice meal, if you want to go more than that get some nice flowers.

    Indeed, I can't think of anything that's not going to get me a slap, even if I do say it's a 'Joke present'...

    Re: 3rd Wedding Anniversary Gift ideas

    A watch wouldnt be a bad idea. What sort of cash are you thinking of spending? You might be able to pick up a good "classic" high end watch, women's vintage watches tend to be cheaper than men's.

    I was going to go for about £50. I got her a posh watch a couple of years ago, for a special birthday...

    There is nothing that says I love you more than a fantastic, all expenses paid, weekend trip out of the kitchen.

    I'll get my coat

    Re: 3rd Wedding Anniversary Gift ideas

    whilst this probably won't help you with your 3rd anniversary it might be one you can keep in the bank for upcoming anniversaries. for our 5th anniversary, where the traditional gift is wood, i bought mrs P a cherry tree.

    7 years later & its about 20 feet tall & still going well

    (i just tried to get a photo of it but the sun's behind it so i just got a blur)
    if it ain't broke...fix it till it is

    Contact the florist who did your wedding flowers, and get them to make the same bouquet she had on the day

    And what about the apology for missing the anniversary, now it's already passed?

    Crikey, it was a year ago. I've had to panic about the 4th anniversary gift since then...
