Leather is a luxurious, long-lasting material that is often overlooked when it comes to fashion, accessories, and other gifts. For those who want their gifts to last a lifetime, leather is a perfect choice!

Leather gifts are any leather goods given as a gift. Traditionally, the third wedding anniversary’s gift theme is leather, symbolizing protection and security. That’s not the only occasion for leather gifts, though – leather is a timeless material that elevates any style.

Let’s explore some leather gift options and the occasions they are perfect for.

What are Leather Gifts?

Leather gifts are any gifts made from leather! Leather gifts can be any leather goods given as a gift for any occasion. These gifts may be made from genuine leather or faux leather. Leather gifts might be clothing, accessories, bags, home goods, or even items like books, notebooks, or phone cases! Leather is a versatile material available in a variety of colors and finishes, allowing gifts to be truly personalized. For crafty gift-givers, leather gifts can be handmade – DIY gifts feel truly heartfelt and personal.

Types of Leather Gifts

Unique Leather Gifts

Unique leather gifts can be hard-to-find gifts, uncommon choices, or even handmade gifts! For example, a handmade leather wallet is a unique gift because it’s truly one of a kind. Choosing an uncommon leather gift, like a leatherbound journal, shows care and understanding. In a similar way, hard-to-find leather gifts show the recipient that you’re committed to making them happy!

Leather is a timeless material that elevates any style.

Personalized Leather Gifts

Personalized leather gifts can be DIY or retail. These gifts are often embossed, branded, embroidered, or otherwise marked with a personalized message or image. A personalized leather wallet may be monogrammed with the recipient’s initials or a design or image they’d enjoy. A leather bag for a professional might have an embossed monogram for an extra-luxe appearance.

Luxury Leather Gifts For Him

Luxury leather gifts for men are usually designer leather or handmade high-end leather gifts. A genuine leather bag or desk set is perfect for the professional man in your life, while a designer leather jacket or backpack is essential for the man who likes to travel. Leather jewelry is a unique choice for men who like to experiment with fashion and accessorize!

Luxury Leather Gifts For Her

Luxury leather gifts for women are typically easier to find. Leather purses or wallets by designers are a great gift for any woman. A designer leather dress, skirt, or other clothing is perfect for the fashionistas. For women who like to journal or write, leather-bound journals or Moleskine covers add an air of luxury to an otherwise plain item.

Manly Leather Gifts

Leather lends itself well to masculine items. “Manly” men will love receiving genuine leather boots, jackets, or utilitarian bags. Handmade leather wallets and phone cases are also masculine gifts that any man will use and appreciate daily.

Quirky Leather Gifts

Quirky leather gifts are similar to unique leather gifts. The difference is that quirky gifts are often funny, strange, or a bit left-of-center. Quirky gifts will often not appeal to everyone, making them a great gift for those with colorful tastes. Patchwork leather jackets, cartoonish leather keychain charms, or spiked faux leather backpacks are all quirky leather gifts perfect for the most unique person in your life.

Quality Leather Gifts

Quality leather gifts are any leather gifts expertly crafted from high-quality materials. Genuine leather gifts from designers, high-end retailers, or leather artisans are a safe bet when looking for high-quality leather gifts. Some faux leather items, especially those from high-end designers, are also high-quality. When searching for quality leather gifts, craftsmanship matters more than price – some quality gifts from leather artisans may be significantly cheaper than those from designers!

DIY Leather Gifts

While leather can be a difficult material to work with, there are many leather items that are simple enough for a crafty person to DIY! Gifts like wallets, belts, desk mats, and mousepads can all be handmade with a few supplies and a bit of crafting know-how. DIY gifts do not have to mean entirely handmade gifts, either – DIY gifts can be purchased and personalized with DIY embroidery or other embellishments.

Leather Office Gifts

Leather office gifts are perfect for the professional in your life. These gifts can be made from genuine or faux leather, and can range from inexpensive to high-end. Desk pads, mousepads, desk organizers, desk chair covers, and more can all be found in leather. Device covers and cases like leather phone cases, leather laptop sleeves or bags, and leather accessory bags are also great gifts for a professional’s office. Decorative gifts, like leather bookends or sculptures, can make an office appear more comfortable and sophisticated.
