Birthdays are a chance to show your spouse you care.
Birthdays are a wonderful chance to show your wife how much she means to you. Women do not necessarily want the most expensive or most extravagant gift. What is important to them often is the meaning behind the gift or the effort put into finding or arranging it. So use your knowledge of her personality to come up with the perfect present.
Unusual Jewelry
Most women appreciate jewelry. This can be a safe choice, as jewelry is timeless and most women never feel they have enough. You can spice things up by having an item made just for her. Choose a bead or stone that has special meaning to her and find a jeweler to create a one-of-a-kind piece. This can be a pin if she wears suit jackets or a casual necklace and earring set. You can incorporate her age into the jewelry by using significant numbers or by abstracting these numbers into a design for paramount birthdays--the ones that end with a zero. Display the birthday gift in an unexpected setting like hanging it from a coat rack, in her closet, on the knob of her dresser drawer or on her car rearview mirror and attach a note to provide a surprising gift-giving scenario.
Getaway or Vacation Gifts
Give your wife the gift of time and relaxation. She undoubtedly works hard at home, and maybe outside the home as well, and deserves a break. Purchase a pampering spa package at the local salon where she can have a full or half day of relaxation. Prepay a variety of services such as massages, manicures, pedicures, facial masks or body scrubs. Or go one step further and take your wife on a short weekend vacation to a bed and breakfast or a secluded nature cabin. If she likes camping, take her to a national park and pitch a tent for some private time on her birthday.
Get Creative
Order or make a personalized birthday cake that includes her favorite flavors and incorporates her personality or preferences. If she likes flowers, choose a cake with floral patterns or in the shape or a flower. If she is a huge chocolate fan, give her a decadent chocolate cake with varieties of milk, dark, and white chocolate icing, cake and decorations. If you are more of the literary type, compose a sonnet or a love poem celebrating her positive traits. You can also read her the poem over a birthday dinner or make her a collection of poems in a book. Show how much you know about her favorites by collecting them into a personalized anthology.
Practical Gifts
If your wife enjoys interior decorating, choose candles in her favorite scent or exotic, aromatic candles she can use throughout the house. If she likes to cook and she has had her eye on a new kitchen appliance, indulge her. Specialty appliances such as those for making smoothies, gelato, espresso and waffles now come in bright colors or shapes. Or get her a gift certificate to her favorite kitchen store and let her choose.
