Happy wife, happy life, right? Well, that’s an especially anxiety-inducing belief when her birthday is coming up, or your anniversary together, or Mother’s Day or any holiday, really. Because if you mess up selecting the best gift for your wife, it’s a long hard climb back from the disappointment, hollow “I love it!” exclamations and potentially sharp exchanges between the two of you. So get it right, people—take a moment to think about her style, her hobbies and interests, and shop accordingly. We have scoured the stores for something every type of wife would love, from the under-$50 set of statement earrings to the blowout $1,500 smart TV that looks like a framed painting hanging on the wall.
RELATED: The 65 Best Gifts for Mom from $5 to $500 (Even Though She’s Totally Priceless)
1. Pottery Barn Raya Ribbed Fountain
For the Patio Lover
At just over a foot tall, this cast stone tabletop fountain makes a great side table element, garden bed focal point or accent for a group of potted plants. It’s got a 16-foot cord to keep it powered up; the self-contained recirculating burbles on continually, soothing thirsty birds and wine o’clock spouses alike.
2. Goddess Dressing Raffia Shell Hoops
For the Unique Jewelry Lover
These 1.75-inch hoops are statement earrings of the best kind: Festive, flattering and lightweight. She’ll love that you really “get” her style.
3. Graza Drizzle &Sizzle Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Best for the Healthy Eater
The olives in the drizzle oil are picked early early, when the healthful antioxidants are most concentrated; the sizzle oil, made for cooking, is from more the mature mid-season olive harvest. She will appreciate the distinction, as well as the fly packaging.
4. Maison Storage Bath Caddy
Best for Tub-Soakers
French-styled and antique-silver hued, this bath caddy expands to fit all standard bathtubs with slots for bath products, a tumbler of her favorite beverage and a compartment that will hold her iPad above the suds.
5. CrockPot Slow Cooker
For the Vegan Curious
Has she made some noises about switching to a plant-based diet? Support her in that exploration by gifting her a seven-quart Crockpot that can make a meal for up to eight people. And share all the best vegan slow cooker recipes to get her started.
6. Saint Laurent Leather Logo Wallet
In Honor of Her Promotion
Nothing says “Congratulations, Hon” like a little bit of designer bling. And this quilted chevron leather number has the distinction of being the perfect size. At 5-by-3.75 inches, it is small enough to fit into even a small crossbody bag. But don’t worry, it’s large enough to fit all the money she’s bringing in.
7. Everlane Quilted Weekender
Best for the Surprise Getaway Trip
Here’s an idea: Gift her this cool, roomy bag made of recycled nylon that fits enough for a quick trip out of town. Then zipped inside, tuck the itinerary for an upcoming weekend getaway you’ve planned and booked in a charming beach town.
8. Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream
Best Luxury Beauty Product
This wildly popular skincare brand's centerpiece product has patented TFC8® technology, which is formulated to trigger her existing stem cells to repair and renew the skin. It’s the status moisturizer to display on the countertop, as well as apply in upward strokes on face and neck two times a day.
9. Brooklinen Waffle Robe
For the Home Spa Experience
Long-staple Turkish cotton is woven into an absorbent and cushy waffle pattern in this robe, just like the robes at luxury destination spas. Designed to be oversized, with a relaxed fit, she will get a kick out of you buying one in the same or a coordinating color (it’s offered in two blues, two greys, white and pale pink).
Available in sizes XS to XL
10. Ultimate Ears Megaboom Speaker
For the Poolside Partier
A thundering bass is what sets this powerful waterproof and dustproof speaker apart from the pack. It has a 20-hour battery life, an easy-to-operate single toggle button to pause, skip and play music and is practically made for poolside, since it can be submerged for up to 30 minutes and even floats.
11. Tory Burch Miller Sandal
For the Shoe Lover
A favorite sandal that evokes the rich chic of Capri, this metallic leather slip-on shoe is a crowd pleaser.
12. Estelle Hand-Blown Colored Wine Glasses
Best for the Hostess
This set of six stems was hand-blown in a 100-year-old factory in Poland, and includes two each of coordinating colors of rose, blush pink and smoke. Your wife will love looking at the Pinterest-worthy display they make even when guests aren’t enjoying them.
13. BHLDN Audrie Dress
Most Romantic Gift
Tell her she’s just as exquisite now as she was back when she wore her wedding dress for you. A slinky side-zip ivory-hued cocktail dress is a call back to those days, except way more versatile.
14. Lululemon Take Form Yoga Mat 5mm
For the Yogi
This mat is grippy on one side, smooth on the other. The polyurethane top layer absorbs moisture so she’s not slipping out of her crow pose or another arm balance; an antimicrobial additive keeps mold and mildew from taking hold.
15. Charter Club Cashmere Sweater
For the Classic Dresser
She’s a fan of solid colors, traditional shapes and year-round sweaters. This lightweight crew neck number is created especially for Macy’s, and she’ll find herself reaching for it again and again.
Available in sizes XS to XXL
16. Our Place The Always Pan
Best for the Hurried Chef
This cult-favorite cookware has such a devoted (and large) following that it inspires news stories when it’s as much as introducing a new color. Unless you know she’s collecting this brand, start her out with one of the ten other classic shades, such as sage. No matter the hue, all the pans have a metal steamer tray, a wooden spoon that rests on the pan’s handle and a dependably nonstick surface.
17. Mosser Glass Cake Stand
Best for the Baker
Made in a historic factory in Ohio, these vintage-inspired glass cake stands come in milk, pink, swirled grey, jadeite and more, and are available in six, ten and 12-inch diameters, with and without fitted glass covers. (No harm in including one of the best cookie recipes in the whole entire universe tucked inside.)
18. Canon Selphy Wireless Compact Photo Printer
For the Scrapbooker
She’s got a penchant for sending family photos to relatives as well as preparing memory books for the kids. Help her with this 7-inch-long printer that’s less than two pounds but wirelessly prints out postcard-sized, brilliantly hued images.
19. Serena & Lily Tide Stripe Beach Chair
For the Beach Goer
At under 9 pounds and made with powder-coated aluminum, this sling chair adds a bit of South of France charm to her local stretch of beach. The red, blue or yellow-striped canvas is water- and fade-resistant and holds up to 300 pounds.
20. Paravel Cabana Zip-Top Pouch Duo - Small + Medium
For the Travel Planner
This set of stain-resistant canvas zip pouches is so cute monogrammed. And it’s so versatile, just the size to fold travel documents into, store a passport, keep extra cash, hold makeup and altogether organize other important little items that would otherwise go missing in her carry-on. And there’s a recycled vegan leather key ring to locate the Airbnb key instantly.
21. Bala Power Ring Set
For Your Workout-Partner Wife
This set of five-, eight- and ten-pound weights are great for her to use when she’s doing her online workouts solo…and maybe she’ll share them with you when you break a sweat together.
22. Hatch Noelle Jumpsuit
For the Pregnant Wife
This short-sleeved jumpsuit has a button front that’s useful when she’s nursing, and until then, a wrap-around sash that she can loosen and eventually discard as her bump grows.
23. Mejuri Bold Pearl Drop Earrings
Best for the French-Style Devotee
Chic, understated and yet still something special, this pair of oversized freshwater pearl earrings is set in 18K gold over sterling silver. They are an essential element in a Parisienne’s wardrobe, and your wife will love them, too.
24. Revlon One-Step Hot Air Brush
Best for the Woman with Busy Mornings
She’ll appreciate that you’ve saved her a step getting ready with this hair drying curling brush that gives her frizz-free volume at the root and a big curl toward the ends. Nylon pin and boar bristles make sure hair stays in line, and the swivel cord stays tangle free.
25. Winc Wine Subscription Box
Best for the Wine Lover
She’ll get a monthly box of wines with Winc, which starts with her filling out a six-question questionnaire to determine her palate profile. Based on the results, Winc’s resident experts recommend four vinos that she’s sure to love. From there, she can make swaps or additions based on the assortment.
26. Samsung The Frame Smart TV
Best for the Interior Designer
At 65 big, bright inches, this is the tech-enabled television with a cool special super power: It hides in plain sight by appearing to be a framed work of art when it’s not turned on. It’s only one inch wide when you hang it on the wall, but it has 4K resolution, works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant and streams every service anyone in the family wants to watch. (But be sure to promise her first dibs on the choice of programming.)
27. Sunday Lawn Care
For the Finicky Landscaper
Is she unsatisfied with the lushness of the lawn, but not sure where to begin to transform it into a gorgeous greenscape? Sunday to the rescue. That’s the online lawn care company that customizes a lawn care plan for its members according to location and soil sampling, then ships easy-to-use nutrients, natural fertilizers and lawn tools direct to the home every few months. She’ll be displaying her green thumb in no time.
28. Homebody The Future is Green Pearlescent CBD Bath Bomb Soak
Best for the Stressed Out
This is a natural cocktail for her body: Spirulina algae, matcha, avocado oil and more make skin silkier and magnesium chloride is included to ease inflammation. And the piece de resistance is 300 mg of relaxing CBD. (If she’s not into tub soaks, tell her she can also use a handful of this as an exfoliating shower scrub.)
29. Video Conference Mute Button
For the WFH Conference Caller
She never has to fumble to put herself on mute again with this dedicated mute button. Compatible with both Mac and PC interfaces, the device plugs into a computer port and users can program it to light up to indicate their microphone is on or muted, toggling between the two settings with a quick tap.
30. Lululemon Align High Rise Pant
For the Workout Warrior
Your wife will appreciate that you gave her a pair of prestige Lulu leggings, known for their buttery feel as well as the way they flatter wearers’ rear ends. Sweat-wicking, it will keep her comfy, and the pattern is stylish enough to wear under a long top to run errands.
31. Garden Bliss Dusty Lavender Cutout Maxi Dress
Best for a Special Occasion
Whether she’s due to be a guest at a wedding, garden party, fundraiser or other occasion, this chiffon frock is the ticket. Fluttery sleeves, a fetching side slit in the chiffon and a little cutout in the back make this something she will look and feel great in.

37. Bulldog Hand Tool Gift Set
For the Woman Who Loves Planting
English-imported and forged from solid steel, this is a set of four tools (a standard trowel, transplanting trowel, weeding fork and daisy grubber) of distinction. She’ll get almost as much joy out of using these as she does spying a new bunch of buds about to flower.
38. Woven Palm Sun Hat
For the Loveable Busybody

For the Endurance Trainer
This device really lets her drill down into her performance metrics; It allows users to run, bike, hike and more without lugging a phone, but still getting real-time pace and distance using GPS.

Heck, she can even play her favorite Spotify playlists from her wrist.
