12 Gifts Your Wife ACTUALLY Wants (but Will Never Ask For)

One of the hardest things to do as a husband is shop for gifts for your wife. It's difficult knowing whether or not she'll like what you buy, and you always run the risk of getting her something that isn't her right size.

With Christmas just around the corner, it's time to start thinking (if you haven't already) about a gift your wife will absolutely love. These are some things she'll definitely want, but she'll never ask for them:

1. A relaxing day

Whether your wife stays at home with the kids or works a full-time job, she's busy. She would absolutely love a day to relax, so give it to her. Send her to the spa, go on a hike with her or do something she loves for a whole day - she'll feel so much better, and she'll love the gift.

2. A fun adventure

If your wife is always looking to try new things, plan an awesome adventure for her. Include things she's always wanted to do, and plan a day of fun, exciting new things.

3. A weekend trip

Your wife loves spending time with you, and there's nothing better than a weekend getaway. My husband and I just got back from Disneyland, and it was awesome. It was decked out for the holidays, and we bonded so much. That would be a great little trip for two, and it's still a blast without the kids.

Today was an actual fairytale.â¤ï¸

4. Something from her Pinterest boards

If you want to get really sneaky, look through your wife's Pinterest account. It's full of things and ideas she loves, so pull inspiration from her boards to make or buy the perfect gift. Chances are, she has one of these cute letter boards pinned - and she would love one.

There's been some rough patches in the Richy household lately. Sibling rivalry is in full swing. Teaching teens & preteens how to be kind little humans is no joke. Then, this morning, I was surprised to find out that my son has offered to clean out my daughter's art & activity bins in her room. What?! Okay! (Btw, it's no small job. She's a pack rat.) Glimmers of goodness are keeping me hopeful that these lessons are actually sinking in. âï¸?âï¸ #letterboard #letterboardquotes

5. A framed picture of the two of you

Your wife probably has a favorite picture of the two of you, so print it out and put it in a frame. It's a thoughtful, inexpensive gift that she'll treasure forever.

6. A Chatbook subscription

If your wife loves taking pictures or posting on Instagram, this would be the perfect gift. If you link her Instagram to Chatbooks, they'll send you a beautiful book of photos for every 60 Instagram posts. It's a priceless, inexpensive gift that keeps giving. And it's only $10 per book!

7. A heartfelt love note

Sometimes, all your wife wants is to know how much you love her. Write her a heartfelt letter with everything you love about her. You can even add photos and mementos from your relationship - it'll make her cry and you'll feel like the best husband ever.

8. A night in a fancy hotel

A night away from home is just what your sweetheart needs. If you want to splurge on an incredible experience, head over to Disney's Grand Californian Hotel. It's absolutely beautiful, it has incredible views and it's all decked out for the holidays. My husband and I just stayed two nights there, and it was an absolute dream.

The Christmas Tree at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel is stunning!! Be sure to pop in the lobby while you're visiting the parks to see this and the giant gingerbread house display! So so fun!! #disneyholidays #disneylandholidays #grandcalifornianhotel #christmastime #christmastree

11. A sentimental necklace

My husband's name is Karter, and my favorite gift he's ever given me is a necklace with a small silver circle with a "K" in the middle. I wear it every single day, and it means the world to me. Your wife would love a customized necklace or bracelet. You can put your initial, your kids' names, your birthstones or even the map coordinates of where you met. Made By Mary has some darling options your wife will love.

These tiny letters may be small & simple to most, but to someone out there, these tiny letters represent their world-- full of life + meaning. â¤ï¸ {feat. 3/8 triple disc with a matte finish}

12. A subscription to something she's been wanting

Get your wife the gift that truly keeps on giving. Maybe she's been wanting a subscription to Amazon Prime, Netflix or even a fun subscription box like the ones from FabFitFun. This gift will be super useful, and it's a thoughtful and practical way to make her life better.

You know your wife better than anyone else, but it can still be hard to pick out the perfect gift. Use some of these ideas if you're stumped, and she's sure to love them!
