The modern 3rd anniversary gift is Crystal and Glass. Not the strongest of materials, crystal and glass remind us of the constant care that we must take with our relationship to prevent anything from breaking. Despite their vulnerabilities, crystal and glass, like our relationships, can also be magnificent and last a lifetime. Crystal makes another appearance as the traditional gift for the 15th anniversary, signifying the time we’ve been together while also looking towards a bright and beautiful future.

Crystal Decanter
A classic crystal decanter will bring any home bar into the next level. Whether you’ve been a long-time connoisseur or are just getting into fine liquors, proudly display your finest spirits with a sophisticated decanter and pair it with these tumbler glasses for the ultimate hosting experience. Add a personalized touch with engraving alongside hundreds of other products to complete your home.
Ok, this is a big one. And probably not something you’d want to buy unless you and your partner have talked it through together. But assuming that all went to plan, the lululemon Studio Mirror is one of the top connected fitness brands over the last few years and would fit perfectly within the glass anniversary gift for this year. It’s basically a full gym that barely takes up any space in your house. And when not in use it doubles as a beautiful glass mirror! Take the plunge, cancel the gym membership, and buy this together to get a head start on your fourth year of marriage!
From flutes to cigar glasses and whiskey wedges to pint glasses, Corkcicle has you covered when celebrating your 3rd anniversary with a special drink delivered by Drizly. Pick out your favorite type and add a travel mug and accessories to complement this icy gift.

Now this one is just too cool and words can’t do it enough justice. A family member recently showed us theirs and it completely changed the whole cocktail experience. It felt like we were in some high class lounge in the city and the drink never tasted better. Make your 3rd anniversary the last time you’ll make a cocktail without smoking it first!
With or without flowers, a crystal vase will be a statement piece in any home. Sunflowers are the official flower of the third anniversary, so even though Flowers aren’t the traditional gift until year four, it can’t hurt to gift this vase pre-filled with a gorgeous sunflower bouquet. Or if your partner loves to always have fresh flowers throughout the house, a monthly subscription might be the perfect addition to this 3rd anniversary gift.
Handmade glass pitchers will make your next batch of lemonade or sangria really stand out at the next family picnic. Pair it with these recycled highballs, margarita glasses, or beverage jar and you’ll be ready to host by next weekend! Let’s all toast a glass to a happy 3rd anniversary!
Another “Etsy Pick” from Maria Ida Designs, these colorful bowls are perfect for those little items that always seem to go missing. This store carries a variety of handmade bowls and vases to brighten up any room.
Crystal was certainly not the easiest anniversary gift category to shop for Jay. But since our anniversary is two days after Christmas, I found this beautiful Swarovski crystal ornament celebrating their 20th year of the Annual Edition Christmas Ornament. It’s always front and center on our tree and a nice reminder of how far we’ve come since 2011.
Jay to Annie
Our wedding gift from Annie’s grandma was a Waterford crystal vase and lamp. They had always featured prominently in our dining room and looked great around the holidays. So I decided to build on this theme and buy Annie a set of Waterford candlesticks to add to our table. Our dining room has never looked so fancy! It was a really nice complement to the vase and lamp, and Annie appreciated the sentimental value of the anniversary gift.
