3rd Anniversary

[brendalin]

So, our third anniversary is coming up and I am really stuck on what to get Josh. Year three is leather...

Year one is paper and I made him a scrapbook of reasons why I love him from A-Z and it kind of told the story of how we met, how we fell in love and got to where we are today.

Year two is cotton and I made him a blanket. i have had a baby blanket sense i was born that I still sleep with, so i made him my blanket with a picture of our wedding in the middle.

So for year three I want to keep with my theme of a very personal, hopefully homemade kind of gift.... I am really stuck... HELP!!!

I think I did a wallet for year 3 (I can't remember haha!) but that wouldn't be homemade. This isn't homemade either but maybe a nice leather belt - but then that isn't really personal hmmm

Does he journal? Maybe a leather bound journal? You might be able to get the front personalized with something and then you could fill out the first page with a love letter to him :)

Here is one, it can be personalized - http://www.jennibick.com/laccio-refillable-calfskin-leather-journal.html

Our local Hobby Lobby has a leather craft section; maybe you could find something to make there ... a belt, a wallet, etc

Thanks for the suggestions ladies... I am thinking that maybe I will do the journal. Maybe have us write entries every month on things that happened that we want to remember.

Hmmm.... maybe I will check out Hobby Lobby and see if they have a journal that I can personalize myself.

Good luck! I find anniversary gifts so hard to decide on.
