Finding the perfect birthday gift for someone is hard and when it comes to finding a gift for your wife, it can be even a little harder. When looking for a gift for her, it is necessary to have two things in mind her taste and your budget. The more you are willing to spend, the more options you have. However, this does not mean that the best gifts are always the most expensive. A unique and personalized gift is perhaps the best way to make your lovely wife feel special.
Here are 15 ideas for birthday gifts to help you choose the best birthday gift for your wife.
15. Candlelight dinner
If you cannot think of a unique idea to surprise your wife on your special day, it is better to be safe. A romantic candlelight dinner can never go wrong. Making reservations at your favorite restaurant, ordering what you like, telling her how beautiful she looks and how much you love her, is always much more valuable to her than a simple gift.
14. Something rare and valuable
If you really want your gift to be unique, go for rare and valuable items, such as antiques and works of art. If your wife loves to read, it is possible to give her a first edition copy of her favorite book. These types of gifts are expensive, but certainly worth every penny you spend on them.
13. Gift basket
A gift basket can be creative, simple and personalized, and this makes it a perfect gift for the owner of your heart. To do this, get some of your favorite things, put them in a basket, wrap it as creatively as possible and have it ready. It is possible to put in your favorite chocolates, cookies, books (if you like to read), beauty products or whatever you think you like.
12. Spa vouchers
If she is a housewife or a woman who works, you have a clue that she works very hard and can be a reference to take into account. You could use a couple of hours for yourself. Pamper your partner by giving a few passes to a spa and let her rest and relax.
11. Jewelry
This never goes out of style. Giving jewelry items to women has been and is something that always works. Medallions, rings, bracelet, anything of this kind will always be welcome. Women simply love jewelry and the more you have, the better. If your budget allows it, go for a diamond, since as you well know, diamonds are in fact a girl’s best friend. In case you can’t afford to spend a lot on a gift right now, don’t worry. There are a number of options that are cheaper but still maintain the same elegance.
10. Fun night
Candlelight dinners, long romantic trips are great, but a bit cliché. We are talking about a fun night in which to do things that normally do not. Take her to a good club and dance like there’s no tomorrow. If nightclubs are not your thing, you can take her to a picnic under the stars.
9. Kitchen for her
Even if you are a lousy cook, try it. Give it a rest in the kitchen, if you need one, she will love it. Cooking is not as difficult as you think it is. Search for a simple recipe in a cookbook or online. If you want it to be more special and memorable you can actually learn to do what you like. To do this, you can join cooking classes or ask for help from a friend or family member. Simple but significant, this is the perfect way to show that you love her.
8. Tickets for a show / theater concert
This is a good way to spend a pleasant time with her. Take her to a play or musical. A night full of entertainment and fun with her husband who loves her, what else could she ask for?
7. A walk somewhere special for her (or for both of you)
It’s her special day, make sure it’s all about her. If you both live in the city where you grew up (or if your city is not really that far away), check out all those special places for her, her school, her neighborhood, her old house etc, or if she is still living in the city where you met her Take it to places that have a special meaning for both of you, for example the place where you took it on your first date, the place where you both kissed for the first time etc. Take a walk down the memory lane with her: Show her how far she has come!
6. Go with her on a shopping day
This one isn’t that hard to guess, right? Most women love shopping. Take your wife to your favorite stores and let her buy all her favorite things. Not only do you have to accompany her while she goes from one warehouse to another, you should show some interest as well. If she asks you if that dress fits her, or the bag she should choose, help her with it. Hold your shopping bags and let them take your time. It is your day, so be patient.
5. Personalized gifts
A personalized gift is one of the best ways to tell her that you love her. Cups, t-shirts, photo frames, jewelry and pillow are some elements of a long list that you can choose to customize. Once you have selected the perfect article, the next step is to find the best way to customize it. It is possible to personalize the gift through photographs, short messages, candy or just the initials of your name.
4. Gadgets
If you thought the devices were a “men’s thing”, you are wrong. In fact fashion gadgets are a great gift for today’s woman. From mobile phones and stylish laptops to elegant compact digital cameras, the possibilities are endless.
3. Be creative
Think of this as an opportunity to show your creative side and believe me you will love it! Do something special for her. You can make a photo collage that represents your trip so far. Or if you have a skill with words, it is a very good move to write a letter. Pour your heart to the pen so she knows how much you love her. Your efforts will surely make her feel special and loved.
2. Surprise birthday party
This is one of the favorites. Prepare for her a surprise birthday party and make sure that everything from decoration to food is according to your taste. If you want it to be a great celebration, book a restaurant for the party and call all your family and friends. In case your wife has a quite sober and simple taste, give a small party at home with family members. It will be a very pleasant surprise, which you will not forget for years to come.
1. A romantic getaway
This is the perfect time to take her to the place she always wanted to visit. Nothing can make her happier than a romantic getaway to a place she loves. Dedicate ALL day and all your attention, since that is really all she wants. Take a day or two of rest from work, leave all your problems behind and simply enjoy a pleasant time with your spouse.
