Avoid the head scratch when you get to the leading lady in your life on your shopping list: We’ve rounded up the best gifts for your wife that’ll make it easy for you to woo her this Valentine’s Day, your anniversary, her birthday, or just because.
When you’re brainstorming the best gifts for women, a few categories probably come to mind. There’s romantic gifts for her, like a flower delivery or a luxury candle; wellness gifts, such as a spa gift basket or a sauna blanket; and classic luxury gifts, like designer handbags and minimalist jewelry.
You can’t go wrong with any of those gifts for your wife, of course. But with so many occasions to treat her to a thoughtful, unique gift, you’ll want to get creative. Ponder her passions and what she does in her day-to-day. If your wife’s head over heels for your rescue puppy, she’ll love a dog DNA test; if she’s always topping up her cup of coffee, a bean subscription will fuel her in more ways than one. Is she a mom-to-be? A push present is in order — you can’t go wrong with a locket necklace. These creative gift ideas for wives will show you put extra thought into commemorating what you’re celebrating.

Stanley Quencher H2.0 Stainless Steel Tumbler
If she doesn’t have a Stanley cup yet, a special occasion like her birthday is the perfect excuse to order her this year’s hottest gift. Known for their ability to keep her favorite sip ice-cold all day, it’ll be a breeze for her to hit her daily hydration goal with this in tow. It’s such a popular gift that it often sells out, so consider yourself lucky to get your hands on this top gift for wives.
Editor testing and review notes: “My Stanley cup comes everywhere with me — as someone who’s always thirsty, this tumbler comes in clutch for its massive capacity and its ability to keep my water chilled for a full 24 hours (or more, if you stock up on ice). I love the slick design and that it fits in car cup holders.” — WWD Shop Senior Beauty & Lifestyle Commerce Editor Claire Sullivan

Sangre de Fruta Neroli Noir Botanical Hand Wash
Elevate her everyday with this 100 percent organic luxury hand soap. It’s chock full of nourishing, skin-soothing ingredients like sweet almond oil, chamomile extract, and rosehip seed oil to keep her hands supple when winter’s in full swing, but it’s the scent that will win her over. This Neroli Noir fragrance is at once earthy, spicy, and subtly sweet.
Editor testing and review notes: “Hand soap may not seem like the most intimate gift to give your wife, but in reality, it’s a great way to make a mundane task far more enjoyable. This formula is so good, it practically has me running to the sink. It lathers up nicely for a true clean feeling (but not so clean that your hands are left dry and stripped) and the fragrance leaves your hands smelling like you just massaged on an expensive, nuanced hand cream.” — Sullivan

Bombas Saturday Slippers
No one will be unhappy to receive a fresh pair of luxurious slippers, particularly if you’re looking to surprise a wife who’s expecting or your partner who simply deserves some R&R. And no one does them better than our favorite sock brand, Bombas. These Bombas Slippers are covered in sherpa to cocoon her toes, while plush memory foam keeps foot pain at bay.
Editor testing and review notes: “These simple slippers are great for padding around the house on chilly mornings. The cute sherpa detail wraps around to the sole and interior of the mule-style slippers, creating max warmth without feeling overly heavy or clunky. They have a super low profile that makes them easy to pack, too.” — Sullivan

Shark Flexstyle Air Drying and Styling System
Hair tools are always good gift ideas for your wife — but the problem is choosing the right one for her. Shark Flexstyle’s Air Drying and Styling System caters to all hair types and styles, so you can rest assured she’ll use it on the daily. The attachments will allow her to curl, straighten, dry, and volumize her hair with the click of an attachment.
Editor testing and review notes: “Shark’s FlexStyle is in a league of its own; there’s no other tool on the market that works as well as a multipurpose styler as it does a classic hair dryer. The only downside to this tool is potential snagging of hair where the attachments meet the nozzle, and the weight that some of the attachments add to the device.” — Sullivan

Heaven Mayhem Baby Knot Earrings

Seen on style icons like Hailey Bieber, this pair makes a statement without weighing down the ears.

Editor testing and review notes: “Alo hoodies are some of my favorite clothing Items for lounging or staying warm on my way to and fro an early morning pilates class. It’s perfectly oversized and stays in mint condition if you machine wash it and hang it up to air dry.” — Sullivan

Editor testing and review notes: “If I’m pulling my hair back, there are only two items I’ll use to fix it in place to ensure it doesn’t leave my hair in bad shape by day’s end: A claw clip or a Slip silk scrunchie. After wearing Slip hair ties for well over four years, I’ve noticed a major improvement in my hair’s breakage.” — Sullivan

Editor testing and review notes: “My Oura ring is the most in-depth wearable health tracker I’ve ever owned (and this is coming from someone who’s tried them all, from first-gen Fitbits to Apple Watches). The connecting app provides loads of insights that have helped me pinpoint the habits and activities that help my stress levels and overall resilience versus ones that damage it.

Editor testing and review notes: “I always keep one of Dior’s lip balms in my everyday bag — it’s so softening and imparts a subtle-but-there wash of color.

Pillow Talk (shown) is the brand’s most universally flattering shade, so go with that option if you’re on the fence.
Editor testing and review notes: “I’ve worn Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk lipstick for years; it’s my go-to whenever I know I’ll be taking pictures. The neutral pink enhances the look of my natural lip color with a gorgeous non-drying matte finish, and you can easily build it up for more intensity.

Editor testing and review notes: “Clinique Black Honey is one of the best lip color shades I keep on hand. One coat adds oomph to my natural lip color for daytime wear, and it’s easy to build up with a few layers for a deeper, richer berry lip.” — Sullivan

One thing her bag rotation is missing? A chic bucket bag she can tote to work, on everyday errands, or for a night out with her BFFs.

The pebbled leather looks luxurious, but it’s surprisingly durable.
Editor testing and review notes: “I love how minimal and petite this bag looks despite how much it can hold. It’s great for those who are hopping on the double bag trend: I’ll carry my essentials — keys, wallet, phone, and makeup pouch — in this bag with a canvas tote to house bigger items, like my laptop and water bottle.” — Sullivan

Editor testing and review notes: “The Dyson Airstrait is one of my favorite hair tools to travel with: I love that it takes my thick, curly hair from sopping wet to polished and straight in under 20 minutes. Multiple settings allow me to use it on dry hair, too, which I often do to smooth out unwanted texture between wash days.” — Sullivan

Different Types of Gifts to Consider Giving Your Wife
- Valentine’s Day gifts for your wife: You can go with classic gifts like flowers, cozy Amazon slippers, or a pair of hoop earrings; or get creative with a necklace featuring the first letter of your child’s name. If she’s absolutely spent, send her off for a massage by giving her a gift card to the spa.
- Luxury gifts for your wife: Great for special occasions like her 40th, 50th birthday, or 60th birthday, these investment items will always remind her of the milestone. Designer tote bags are an option, as are classic jewelry pieces like diamond earrings.
- Romantic gifts for your wife: Show her some love with gifts that tug on her heartstrings. Go with a picture frame with a photo from your wedding day or an heirloom-worthy vase full of fresh flowers. If you want something on the sexy side, you can’t go wrong with lacy black lingerie.
- Creative gifts for your wife: Thanks to retailers like Uncommon Goods and Etsy, it’s easy to order a personalized present online. You can spend hours scrolling through options, but items like a custom notebook, an illustration of your family, or a monogrammed cutting board are dependable options.
- Anniversary gifts for your wife: Lucky for you, anniversary gifts have traditional framework you can play into, like paper for your first anniversary, wood for your fifth, and crystal for your fifteenth. You can, of course, also surprise her with something more modern, like a pair of hoop earrings as a five-, 10-, or 20-year anniversary gift for your wife.
- Push presents: These post-delivery gifts are a must for new moms. Jewelry is a go-to choice; personalize a necklace with the baby’s birthday or birthstone. If you’re opting for something self care-oriented, go with a spa gift, like a plush bathrobe she can nestle in with your newborn.
