Traditional 3rd wedding anniversary gifts have a theme of Leather. Contemporary or modern 3rd anniversary gifts have a theme of Crystal or Glass. \n\nWith that in mind here are a few suggestions:\n\n1.) Wow Factor 4 Business Professional! ~ Leather Briefcases from Forzieri in Italy. They ship worldwide in three days. (See Link 1 Below) \n\n2.) Functional AND Personal! ~ By lifting the clasp, this watch can reveal your special picture or personal statement behind a crystal and stainless steel frame, as well as an engraved message on the watch casing. (See link 2 Below)\n\n3.) Relive the Memories! ~ Real2Reel Multimedia can take your paper photos and/or digital pictures and put them on DVD in a romantic musical photo montage video. The video can be played on any DVD player... VHS available too! (See 3rd link below)\n\nIf these ideas don't suit you, you can also search Amazon or ebay... just type in "leather gifts" or "crystal gifts" minus the quotes in the search window on their site. \n\nHappy Anniversary!

You should definitely get a card that symbolizes your love for her.   I have been married for 6 years and I have kept every card my husband has given me!\n\nIf she likes flower's get her that as well.  Try taking her out to a romantic restaurant or perhaps the place you proposed?  Try taking her to the place where your first date was.  The possibilities are endless.  Treat her to a candlelight dinner at home if you think she would like that instead of going out.  Perhaps you can even make her a nice romantic meal with a dessert.\n\nIf she wears jewelry or has been eying something in particular that would be a great gift as well!  Maybe she likes lingerie?  She might like it that you have picked that out for her.  That is what I got for my 1st yr. anniversary and I loved it because it was something that he picked out just for me.\n\nMake sure you haven't missed any "hints" from your wife!  I hint all the time to my husband and it is 50/50 with him.  LOL\n\nGood luck & congratulations!

The traditional gift is tin...but who wants an old can...lol! The more modern thing is a diamond...but that's just materialistically speaking. For you, I would say, to continue loving her as much as possible everyday that you have her...just like you have been doing for the past 10 years you've been married. No special promises of giving her the world or the moon (which doesn't belong to any man) but showing her that you are faithful and loyal. For all that she does that may upset/anger you or even be your pet-peeves, forgive her and love them because they make her who she is. Cherish her everyday and everynight just as you have for the passed 10 years or even more, if that's possible. That's what I would want...instead of the diamond that can be stolen; this can not be. Besides, you know what she wants better than anyone else...because you love her best. Happy 10th Anniversary my darling sweetness! I love you too. ;)

Depends on the age and level of the relationship.\n\nIn general doing something for him is really the best present.   That "something" is really, again, dependent on the level of the relationship.\n\nExamples of generally good "somethings"\n\n1. Dinner\n2. Massage\n3. A drive in movie\n4. A love note (handwritten, no halmark)\n5. A "special" evening\n\n\nThere are tons of extra customizations to the list above.  Basically I'd suggest something that you do together, rather than so much of something you give him.  Gifts are nice, but memories are much better.

Congratulations on your second anniversary!  Two years is quite an accomplishment these days. :-)\nI believe that the traditional second anniversary gift is supposed to be cotton, although there is a revised anniversary gift chart that lists gemstones as the gift for almost every year.  This list must have been made by a woman. Lol.\nWhile all of the responses here sound absolutely fantastic, I think that most couples who are in love appreciate something personalized as a loving momento of the occasion.   A personalized gift can be cherished for many years to come.  \nMy thoughts are maybe an inscribed watch for a man and maybe a personalized anniversary throw for a woman.  My husband gave me a personalized throw for our second anniversary and I adore it.  Best of luck to you and your Honey!  (There is a link below to a site that makes personalized gifts for any occasion.)

Wow, beyond what you have already listed, I can't think of anything really. How about buying each other a gift on eBay (limit how much spent) with the idea that you want to send them something they think the other would truly love.\n\nHow about a mutual blog in planning the wedding? That way when the date is close, you can break out your list with all the flower type, colors, location etc. all ready.

How about a weekend trip? I know several couples who made a very special anniversary out taking a short (even one day) vacation to do something fun together, something that you know your boyfriend is interested in. I personally enjoy having the memories and the experience together better than having to buy them something material sometimes.

here are some ideas for this anniversary or other anninversaries. give him a portrait of yourself, a titinum wedding band(what I gave my husband and I found one at sam's club for 118.00, ) or find a woman photograpy person and take diffrent poses of diffrent months in the form of a calendar and hang it in the bed room.\n(clothes on or off your choice)

get him a jersey of his fave football or basketball player...if he doesn't like sports and is sappy you could pick 2 stars right next to eachother and name them after the two of you...i think it's like $150 or something like that...i think that it just so romantic but you can't do it unless he's the kind of guy who appreciates things like that. good luck and happy early anniversary!!

My favorite times with my loved one is when we actually have time to sit and reflect about what the other one means to us. Going out to eat is traditionally what is done on an anniversary, but I prefer one on one time where there is nobody else around. No strangers talking loudly, no waiters to interrupt, no time wasted in line or in the car.  \n\nIn my opinion, Anniversaries are about each other, and to do that, you've gotta block out the rest of the world.  Here's my recipe for a fabulous anniversary. FIRST, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, GET SOME PAPER, PENS, AND AN ENVELOPE. I'll tell you why in a little bit.\n\nNext, plan the environment - Stay home (or rent a hotel if you want to get away from the day-to-day). Turn off the lights, turn on the music, light the candles.  Put your favorite (but easy to prepare) foods around you - cheeses, pizza, strawberries, chocolate, wine, etc.\n\nNow here comes the important part - sit directly in front of each other on the floor. Knee to knee, and eye to eye. Be sure to hold hands and feed each other. Talk about 'the time when we...' or 'that one time when we...'. Before you know it, hours will have passed. Don't be afraid to sip a little more wine than what you normally do. You'll soon find yourself maybe getting a little frisky. \n\nBut before you go any further, grab that piece of paper and pen, and write down a few lines about what that other person means to you. How they make you feel, and why you love them. Why you appreciate them. The more specific you get the better. For example, I love my man more everytime I catch him acting like a little kid when he thinks no one is around. Now don't let the other person read it. Seal it in the envelope, and save it for your next anniversary. It's so fun, and gives you something really fantastic to look forward to. \n\nNow would be a good time to finish off the night with a long kiss...and maybe more.\n\nYou've just created a wonderful memory of the two of you together, sincerely enjoying each other.\n\nMuch better than some boring evening at an overpriced restaurant where nobody talked to each other, don't you think?

Gift Certificates are always nice...\n\nBut my favorite wedding present that I got was a crystal vase from friends of my grandparents, whom I had never met.\n\nGet them something nice they can put on their mantle... or a nice antique mantle clock.

For your spouse----or for a couple?\n\nI gave (as a package decor) the cutest tree ornament of a couple in bed, and the sign of the bedspread said, ''Our First Christmas Together''.\n\nEven for your spouse-------something like this would be nice, and then, just a gift of something he/she would like.

What is something the one spouse has always wanted but never splurged to get?  \n\nFor her. Maybe time at a day spa for the wife with a gift certicate to get a new outfit then you take her out to eat at a nice resterant and give her some nice piece of Jewerly (those 3 stone pendents are nice, for past, present, future or a pendent of her birthstone or the stone from the month you got married)\n\nFor a guy, is there something for his hobby that he wants to get?  A huge plasma TV?  A Lazyboy?\n\nOr for both, a nice 3 day cruise. Or going back to where your honeymoon was for a couple days. If you like wine, going to to Napa. Or getting a hot tub jointly. \n\nGood for you for getting to 25 years, you must love each other very much.

How big do you want to go and what does she like.\nI think a romantic vacation would be good.  You could make a memories box and put in souvenirs of past good times together and tickets or travel pamphlets so she can pick the time for the trip. Valentines would be nice.  If this is a lavish gift it can cover both holidays. (maybe)
