The holidays are here. Are you stumped on the best Christmas presents to gift your wife (or any other lucky lady in your life)? This gift guide is here to help.
We’ll admit it. Shopping for the holidays is really hard, especially for other adults, including your significant other. Often, you’ll ask only to be met with an “I don’t know” or “Let me think about it.” I can only speak for myself, but I can never think of something to ask for or just think to myself, “I can buy that myself.” That just leaves everyone in a quandary.
If your loved one is leaving you stumped this holiday season, or maybe you don’t know where to start, this holiday gift guide will help. We cover everything from simple and functional to gifts with an extra personalized touch. We’re sure you’ll find the best Christmas gift for your wife or significant other on this list. At the very least, it will inspire you to find that perfect gift.
Without further ado, let’s get started.
The Best Christmas Gifts for Your Wife: Relaxation and Self-Care
One of the best gifts you can give your wife is recognizing the importance of self-care. Gift her something where she can completely disengage from the fast paces of life and spend a little time on herself. Here are a few gifts to present to your wife to acknowledge that she should sit back, relax and focus on herself.
Weighted Blanket
Many studies have been done on the effects of a weighted blanket. Most importantly, they help to reduce anxiety and stress. The pressure from a weighted blanket helps to calm the nervous system, reducing anxiety and stress. Plus, when you feel less stressed out, you get better sleep.
This weighted blanket from Bearably is an excellent option. The knitted weave makes it look like an on-trend throw. She can toss it on the couch, or the end of the bed, and no one would know the difference. Bearaby offers it in various weights and colors depending on her needs. If you’re unsure what size to get, remember that a weighted blanket should weigh about 10% of her body weight.
Silk Pajamas
Sometimes, pajamas are the last thing women think about. They’d rather spend their money on their work or casual wardrobe. After all, no one sees you in your pajamas. However, a quality pair of silk pajamas is worth their weight. They are soft to the touch, and they have an elevated feel. Plus, she can wear them year-round. Since silk is a natural temperature regulator, your girl will stay cool in the warmer months and warm in the winter.
These matte silk pajamas from Nordstrom come in a variety of colors and are washable! Plus, Nordstrom has one of the best return and quality policies for a retailer. Should something happen to them, she can take them back and swap them out for a new pair.
Sweater or Plush Robe
There’s nothing like coming home from a long day, changing out of your clothes and tossing a plush robe over. It’s like rewarding your hard work with a cozy hug. Take inventory–does she need a new robe, or maybe she doesn’t have one? That’s your cue.
If she prefers a plush robe, the CozyChic robe from Barefoot Dreams is a fan favorite. For something more elevated and sophisticated, consider the UGG Ladonna sweater robe.
Spa Gift Card
A gift card may seem impersonal, but I encourage you to consider it. Hair, nail, massage and other spa-type services can get pretty expensive. If you know your wife or partner has a spa service done regularly, a gift card is a great gift. It also shows that you pay attention to her self-care needs.
Connect with her hair stylist, manicurist, esthetician, masseuse, etc. See what kind of services she usually gets and make sure the next one is on you. Or, you can get her a gift card for a new service she’s never tried or rarely gets.
I recently tried a Japanese hair spa; it was one of the most relaxing experiences!
Face/Skin Tools and Devices
I firmly believe that one essential way to look youthful and healthy is to take extra special care of your skin. If you know that your significant other shares the same thought, there are a plethora of skin tools and devices to help. Here are a few to consider for the holidays:
Christmas Gift Ideas for Your Pregnant Wife or If She’s a Mom
Becoming a new mom is one of the most life-changing moments a woman can have. It’s emotional, rewarding, and terrifying all at once. Maybe your partner has been through the parenting ringer this year (trust me, we’ve all been there). Or maybe you want to acknowledge her and everything she does for your children. These are a few great gifts.
A Newborn Baby Planner or Kid’s Memory Book
As a fellow mom, I know that we want to remember every important moment in our childrens’ lives and safe keep them forever. Help her remember moments with the help of a baby planner or a memory book.
The Lucy Darling Baby Memory book is one of my favorites. I’ve personally used it with one of my children, and I love how everything is organized. Plus, the ring binding makes it easy to store special mementos like hospital bracelets and birthday invitations.
For mamas of older children, the Letters to My Baby, Daughter, or Son series are a great alternative. She can write special letters to her kids to keep or give at special milestones in their lives.
Personalized Mama Necklace
There are mama necklaces that proclaim your wife’s status as a mom and others that are a little more subtle. From my research, the latter is the more popular option.
The letter diamond bezel necklace from Baby Gold is a personal favorite. It is available in a single, double, or triple-letter option. If you have more than three, check out the spaced-letter necklace. These necklaces are available in three metal options and six length options.
I’ve personally worn the white gold option for two years now. I never take it off–I work out and shower in it. It still looks brand new. It’s still bright white and not tarnished. (White gold has a silver-white color due to a final rhodium dip, which can fade over time.)
Body Care Gift Set
The first year after having a baby, whether it’s her first first time or fifth, is exhausting. She gives everything she has plus more. There are nights of no sleep and days where she might forget to fuel herself. And, you can forget about self care–that comes later.
The L’Occitane Journey To Provence gift set is a great place to start her journey to relaxation. The set includes a cleansing hand wash, body lotion, hand cream, and pillow mist. All of the items are lavender-scented, which is touted for having relaxing effects. Pair this gift set with a new book or magazine and a plush robe, and give her a little time to herself. Your partner will feel refreshed and relaxed in no time!
Foot Massager
Moms spend a lot of time on their feet. We are constantly changing diapers, retrieving snacks and lost toys. And, if you have older children, there’s the after-school chaos of activity drop-off and pick-up. Help the mom in your life take a load off with a foot massager.
The Brookstone Shiatsu Massager is a great option because it targets both feet and calves. She can use it for a few minutes in the morning or night to soothe aching feet. Trust me, this is especially useful for pregnant women!
Christmas Gifts for the Wife Who Has Everything
Perhaps your significant other has “everything.” Or maybe they are minimalists, and having more things isn’t a desire. This is a good opportunity to turn to sentimental gifts. Here are a few gift ideas that are perfect for the woman who seems to have everything.
Memorializing “Our Song”
Is there a song your partner identifies as “your song”? It can be your wedding song or something you love to belt out at the top of your lungs while driving. Or maybe there’s a song that always makes you both drop everything and dance. Memorialize it in a sleek custom canvas by Lime & Lou. The Music Memories canvas looks like a framed record, and the minimalist design is stylish.
The Special Song option allows you to add a picture that captures your amazing, unique relationship.
Adventure Challenge Book: Couples Edition
Sometimes, figuring out what to do together is challenging, especially if you feel you’ve done it all! Spark excitement and adventure with The Adventure Challenge. The brand has a great book with scratch-off adventures.
Before you scratch off your adventure, you’ll know how long it takes to complete the challenge, the cost and the time of day. It’s a great solution to the “What do you want to do tonight?” dilemma. Plus, you’ll make wonderful new memories you can document.
Weekly Flower Delivery Subscription
There’s something bright and cheery about fresh flowers in the home. Undeniably, they are beautiful and sure to bring a smile to her face with each delivery.
Farmgirl Flowers offers some of the prettiest flower arrangements on the market today. Plus, you can make some of their options a recurring delivery. You can choose the start and delivery dates and the delivery frequency.
Laser Engraved Tumbler
Does your significant partner often travel with a mug full of coffee or a tumbler filled with water? If so, up her tumbler game with an engraved one. Yeti offers a variety of their mugs and tumblers in customized options. Personally, I love the 30 oz Travel Mug. Then, upload a design, add text, or monogram her drinkware. It will be just as unique and special as she is.
Christmas Present Ideas for Fitness Enthusiasts
Maybe your wife is an avid fitness enthusiast or wants to start a new fitness routine for the new year. Regardless of where she is on her fitness journey, these holiday gift ideas make working out stylish, effortless and positive.
A Smart Watch
If your partner is new to the smartwatch world, it makes keeping track of exercise, sleep and other health-related functions a cinch. Therefore, it makes a great gift if she’s into both fitness and convenience.
If she’s an avid smartwatch user, it’s a nice gesture to update her to the latest and greatest. Our smart watch for small wrist guide is a great place to start, and we cover everything. Whether you’re looking for an Apple Watch Series 10, Galaxy Watch FE or something from the Garmin line-up, we cover the best-fitting ones for her.
Health-Tracking Ring
If your wife is not a fan of smartwatches, a health-tracking ring might be a better bet. It’s small, subtle and tracks sleep, activity, recovery, and stress.
The Oura Ring 4 is a fan favorite, and the monthly membership is inexpensive at $5.99 per month or $69.99 for the year. The ring tracks over 30 biometrics, including women’s health needs. There are no screens and no notifications, so you won’t even notice it’s tracking your health and fitness.
Wireless Headphones
Sometimes, you just need to drown out the noise and chaos while working out. One of the best ways to do this is with comfortable, noise-canceling headphones. A good pair of headphones allows you to focus on your workout and your favorite tunes.
The Apple AirPods Max or the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are your best bet if you’re married to specific brands. However, these Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are top-of-the-line at a decent price. Plus, you can connect them via Bluetooth to your Apple and Android devices.
Fitness Class Pass
There’s no better time than the present to try something new. Gift your active partner a fitness class pass she hasn’t tried yet. If she prefers the gym, give her a pass to a Pilates Reformer Class or one of those fun rebounding trampoline classes. Or, if she’s a Yogi, make it fun with one of those animal yoga classes. I don’t know about you, but yoga with puppies will surely be a fun change of pace.
New Gear
Your wife or partner works out hard, and so does her workout gear. Refreshing her gear for the new year is a great way to acknowledge and support her love of working out. If it’s been a while, you can buy her a new pair of
Good Christmas Presents for Your Wife If She’s a Traveler
Like the above-mentioned workout gear, if there’s anything that works harder, it’s travel gear. It goes through airport after airport, tossed into vehicles and jam-packed full of stuff. If your wife is an avid traveler, here are a few Christmas gifts she’ll appreciate.
New Luggage
It took me a long time to update my luggage. Honestly, I used the same pink canvas luggage for 16 years. This year, I could refresh with three new pieces of luggage. More than anything, I was impressed with how light and protective the new luggage is.
If your wife is in the same boat I was in, gifting her new luggage is a great idea. Especially if she is a frequent traveler. I’m a massive fan of the Carl Friedrik Carry-On X if you’re looking for a luxurious, elevated piece. You can read more about my experience with the Carry-On X here. The TL: DL is that it’s lightweight, gorgeous, and packs SO much with limited space.
Another luggage alternative is the Topo Designs Global Travel Bag Roller. It’s another carry-on option that is perfect for adventurous travelers. You can carry it as a backpack or roll it behind you. You can read my review for this one here.
Tech Bag
Your partner invests a lot in her tech. Laptops, phones, tablets, gaming devices, etc., are expensive! If she needs a way to keep her things safe, I highly recommend gifting her a tech bag.
The belt bag-style Go Sling by Alpaka is a great bag for traveling with tech. The standard size can carry an 11-inch iPad Pro, a camera, bud-style earphones, a Nintendo Switch and your personal belongings. It has several compartments, a soft-touch lining to keep your screen safe, and is waterproof.
It has a long strap and an integrated hand-carry handle. She can also toss it into a tote-style purse to keep her tech goods safely together.
If the Go Sling is too large, they also offer a smaller Go-Sling Mini that has many of the same features.
Airline Ticket Upgrade
Does your wife or significant other have upcoming travel plans? One of the nicest travel gifts you can give is a ticket upgrade. Consider bumping her up to business class or first class for those longer flights. That way, she can have a little more space and travel comfortably.
Eye Massager Mask
Traveling isn’t always kind. If there are things that can make travel easy on you, you should always pack them into your carry-on. An eye massaging mask is one of those luxurious things your wife can carry with her.
The Therabody SmartGoggles 2.0 eye mask provides travel relief in less than 15 minutes. It features massage, heat and vibration capabilities. If your partner suffers from headaches and eye strain during travel (or even at home), this eye mask is a must-have!
Scratch-off Map
For spouses who pride themselves on where they travel, a scratch-off map is a great way to display their adventures. There’s a variety of maps you can choose from for world travelers and US travelers. You can also find a National Parks scratch off map if visiting every park in the US is at the top of your wife’s bucket list.
Top Christmas Gifts for Your Wife, Girlfriend, or Partner
If you’ve gone through this list and are still at a loss as to what to get your partner for Christmas, check out the following gifts. Some are classic gifts, and others serve specific hobbies that your wife might like.
An Indoor Garden
Does your wife love to garden? If you live in a snowy region, your partner may only get to garden in warmer months. An indoor garden lets her practice her green thumb and gardening skills year-round.
The AeroGarden Harvest Elite Indoor Garden allows your partner to grow up to 6 plants inside. It has a digital display control panel that reminds you to add water to keep your plants growing faster. Additionally, the grow light provides extra “daylight” to help plants grow.
Diamond Earrings
Diamond earrings are a classic gift that is incredibly versatile. Like a good pair of small hoop earrings, your significant other can wear them with virtually anything. She can dress them up or wear them casually. There’s no event or outing that you couldn’t wear diamond earrings.
These Blue Nile diamond earrings are a solid pair. They have guardian backs, so your wife can wear them without worrying about losing them. I’ve been wearing this pair for a few months now with no issues. I’ve never lost a back; the white gold is still shiny and silver, and they have incredible brilliance.
If she already has a pair of diamond earrings, you can also choose a pair of earrings with a vintage aesthetic. These oval opal earrings with blue topaz have a regal feel to them.
Blue Nile also offers excellent customer service. Visit their various showrooms to see pieces in person before you buy. I promise you’ll have a wonderful Blue Nile experience!
A Record Player
There’s nothing quite like listening to music on vinyl. Vinyl produces a warmer, more natural sound that preserves the subtleties of the original recording. Additionally, today’s records come in special editions that can be collectibles one day.
If your wife is a musicophile or audiophile, you can’t go wrong with a record player and a few of her favorite vinyl albums. The Crosley Voyager Vintage record player is a great starter player at an inexpensive price point. Plus, you can connect it to a Bluetooth speaker to boost the volume. Though I’ll warn you, listening to your records through the player speaker is best.
New Kitchenware
I realize that some women may not receive the gift of new kitchenware well. That’s fine, and you know your wife best. However, if your wife loves to cook or bake, she understands the importance of good, well-made kitchenware. It’s even better if it’s aesthetically pleasing in her kitchen.
One of my favorite kitchen pieces is actually something I sampled this year. The Smithey 12” Cast Iron Skillet and Lid have been my go-to for months. The skillet is easy to care for, and everything cooks perfectly. Plus, I love that I can go from stovetop to oven without dirtying other pots and pans. You can check out my glowing review here.
Smithey also has a stunning hammered carbon steel pan line. These are definitely the way to go if your wife displays her pans in the kitchen. I’m a big fan of the farmhouse skillet.
Another great gift and possible stocking stuffer idea is a new set of Acacia Utensils. They are a great option, so you don’t have to worry about plastic seeping into your food.
Last, I must admit that this last gift idea is also at the top of my list. It’s the KitchenAid Design Series Evergreen stand mixer. This one is a definite splurge, but it’s gorgeous—and the walnut bowl is stunning! The best part is that it will last for a long time. I’ve had my older KitchenAid mixer for 16 years, and it’s still going strong.
Wrapping Up The Best Gifts for Your Wife or Partner
If you’ve made it to the end, I appreciate you! I know this list is long and with a lot of information. But I hope you find a few things you think will be the best Christmas gifts for your wife or partner. If not, I hope it sparks a little bit of inspiration to find something you know she’ll love.
I said this earlier, but I want to reiterate that no one knows your wife like you. Don’t get lost in the Christmas gift ideas for my wife conundrum – if you think she’ll love something and use it, buy it! After all, the best gifts are the ones that have thought behind them.
