3 Year Dating Anniversary Gift Ideas

Eric
-He is currently enrolled in college, majoring in accounting
-LOVES sports, especially football and also hockey
-He's very quiet and shy and hates a lot of attention
-Does not enjoy crowds at all
-He isn't much of an adrenaline seeker, he doesn't like scary things (like roller coasters) or creepy things (like haunted houses)
-Our anniversary is October 12th


He's is such a nice guy. Whenever I say I want to do something special, he tells me that everyday I spend with him is so special to him. He treats me like a princess and I'm not always as appreciative as I should be. I want to do something cute for him without it being over the top because he just isn't like that.

I am 18 and he is 20, so weekend getaways or romantic nights to ourselves aren't really appropriate and money is more of an issue than I'd like it to be. I want to plan something nice for us to do together or something that is just special for him. I want it to be something that he is just going to love, but I can't think of many ideas without breaking the bank. PLEASE HELP.

Thanks, Rachael


Hi Rachael

It sounds like you know exactly what he like and doesn't like, so I am sure the obvious sports type gifts you have probably already bought him.

Your 3rd anniversary is traditionally leather so maybe a nice wallet with a photo of you in it, plus a little message that he can carry around all the time. You can also get some lovely leather bracelets for me which again is something that he could wear every day.

If you are looking to do something special then pack a picnic and venture off to your favorite place or somewhere close by that you have both always wanted to go.

Sounds like you will have a fun 3rd anniversary.

Happy anniversary from all of us too!
