When buying a special gift for that most special woman in your life, you won’t go wrong with this guide to help you.  Here you’ll find an ideal Christmas present to suit every taste and budget. 

As a rule, women love a personal touch, along with an indication that you know her and her tastes well.  The combination of these two elements will add joy to your wife’s holiday. 

Holiday Gift Ideas For The Wife Who Loves Romance

When your wife is a hopeless romantic, capture her smile by giving her a basket filled with the makings for a carpet picnic for two.  Fill a basket with wine, two stemmed glasses, a loaf of French bread, her favorite cheeses, a scented candle, and a soft red throw blanket.  For dessert, include a small box of delicious chocolates.  Tuck in a hand-written invitation for her to join you sometime soon for a carpet picnic in the bedroom.

Another great gift idea for the romantic wife is a heart shaped gold or silver locket with an invitation to dinner out tucked inside the box.  If she already has a locket, choose a set of pearl or diamond earrings, instead.

If you’re trying to save money, buy her a beautiful Christmas card.  Slip in hand-written coupons for back massages, foot rubs, and an offer to cook dinner at home for the two of you.

A cheap but classy present is a journal and a nice pen.  Write her a love note or poem on the first page of the journal.  On the second page, tape a photo of the two of you having fun or exchanging a hug.

When money isn’t a concern, buy the tickets for a romantic cruise, or arrange the details for a weekend get-away, and hand her the agenda inserted into a beautiful Christmas card.

Holiday Gift Ideas For The Wife Who Loves Bubble Baths

Fill a wicker basket with spa-like things such as body wash, a loofah or sea sponge, body spray and lotion in her favorite scent, a fluffy towel set, and a relaxing Cd.  For an added special touch, include some scented votive candles.

If the two of you have agreed to stay within a strict budget, you can buy a pre-made bath time kit at Kmart or Wal-mart for less than $20.00.

Give her a gown in her favorite fabric, a matching robe, and some cozy slippers for when she steps out of the bath.

Holiday Gift Ideas For The Wife Who Loves Coffee or Tea

Fill a large mug with individual packets of coffee and flavored creamers, and for a pleasant surprise, tuck in a box that contains a good piece of jewelry.

When the budget is tight, buy a pre-boxed tea lover’s kit at Kmart, Wal-mart, or Target.  Wrap it, tie it with satin ribbon, and slip a hand-written love note beneath the bow. 

Holiday Gift Ideas For The Wife Who Is An Intellectual 

Slip two tickets to her favorite upcoming play and a personal invitation for dinner out into a Christmas card. 

Buy her a book of collected works by her favorite poet.  Tuck a genuine gold book mark or a slender bracelet between the pages.

Give your wife a few Cd’s of classical music, and place them in box along with a piece of her favorite kind of jewelry or a pricey box of chocolates.

Buy a foreign film you know she’s been wanting to see on DVD or a collection of classic novels.  Add a personal touch by including a note inviting her to a movie night at home just for the two of you.
