Ideas for Leather & Crystal Wedding Anniversary Gifts
- Crystal tableware is expensive and decorative. If you think someone would prefer this fragile but beautiful symbol to a leather gift, you can choose to buy a set of crystal wineglasses. A set of four glasses is a sufficiently extravagant present and a couple can share them with friends. Alternatively, a set of two champagne flutes is a more romantic gift, so a couple can toast all their hard work of marriage on the anniversary itself. Adding in a bottle of good champagne is always a nice touch. This gift is traditional, but it will evoke memories of family heirlooms and special occasions when parents and grandparents brought the good crystal out.
- A gift of a good leather handbag is one no woman can resist. The softness and quality associated with leather shows your wife you love her enough to search through a store and pick a bag that she would like from the hundreds that all look virtually the same to a man.
A leather bag is also appropriate for a husband, especially in the form of a travel bag. If you choose a long-lasting, durable bag from a quality manufacturer, your husband can keep this symbol of love for years, and every time he leaves to go on a trip, he will be reminded of your anniversary. Write a little note and tuck it into one of the side pockets and he might even keep it in there in case he ever forgets his anniversary. - A leather baseball glove is perfect for the sporty husband. Scribble a short note on the back in marker to personalize it for him, but avoid anything too sentimental -- after all, he will lend it to his friends when they play a pickup softball game. This gift is even more appropriate if you have small children or are planning to have kids in the future.
- To give your wife a daily reminder of your anniversary, send her cellphone to be customized with crystals. You will have to invent a pretext to borrow her phone for a few days, but the result will be a crystal encrusted cellphone that none of her friends will have. She'll never mix up her phone with another phone again.
