Coming up on 3 years with the wife. Leather is the traditional, and I think she would appreciate something nice made of it.
Any interesting suggestions? Any leatherworkers on the forum that make thing outside the belts and holsters, that would make a good gift? I'd love to support a member if I can.

I'd recommend getting in touch with Mr. Hicks (sureshot45). I know he has made some bags and purses before.

My wife has a handmade leather "clutch" that she loves. Got it at a craft fair a few years ago. If your wife isn't one of those with a "Mary Poppins" style purse, where she lugs everything and the kitchen sink around everwhere in a ginormous purse that takes 20 minutes to sift through to find what she wants, then she might like one as well.
It's basically a small square leather pouch with a zipper on one side and a wrist strap. Hers is on the smaller side, just big enough to hold a DL, a few credit cards, some folded cash, some coupon cards, and a tube of chapstick. Some others are slightly larger, and can hold a cell phone, sunglasses, etc. as well.
Think of it as the female equivalent of a "minimalist wallet".This message has been edited. Last edited by: RogueJSK,

Andy Langlois (known for his Rhodesian and Scout rifle slings) also makes very nice bags and purses via his Irish Bag Company He's a gun guy so you are supporting our community by purchasing from him
He also does custom work in the um "marital aid" arena if you or anyone else might be interested.

Love 41 Simple leather tote in tobacco.
My wife is a teacher and hauls crap in it daily for years. Looks great guaranteed for life.
