Just to state the obvious: She deserves the world. Your wife, that is. I will be so bold as to assume that she's an incredible human full of wisdom, laughter, beauty, and emotional complexity. You love her a whole hell of a lot, so yes, she's entitled to more than just a last-second, half-baked gift. Getting her the perfect present, no matter the occasion, is paramount because she really is that special. Get her a gift that's so romantic she'll brag about her partner's superior gift-giving prowess. Hey, dream big.
I can help make that dream a reality. Well, not reality reality, but damn near close. That's because I'm the pickiest woman on the planet, and I have a serious duty I owe to all women out there: I only recommend gifts that I believe a woman, wife, and best friend—of course—would truly want. And that's the secret sauce: not getting her something she needs but something she wants. For those wants, I'm here to expose the truth about the trendy items on our wish lists. No woman is made the same; we all want different things. That's why this long, definitive list can actually guide you.
Sure, you can go for the simple yet foolproof robe and slippers (no shade—those are great gifts!) or dive into more splurge-worthy territory with luxe designer pieces or even—dare I say it?—diamonds. Or you can think about the kind of stuff she likes and what she enjoys doing—such as hiking, self-care, or interior design. (Please tell me you know what she likes by now.) Regardless of the path you choose, I found the 68 best gifts for your wife on her birthday, anniversary, or any occasion worth celebrating. From award-winning smart gadgets to trendy home décor and gifts for foodies, shop the ultimate guide right here.

Sometimes all she needs is luxury pajamas to brighten her day, and Eberjey offers just that.
You could buy her caviar one time for a special at-home tasting. Or you could get her the roe that keeps on roeing: a subscription for twice-yearly deliveries, straight to her door.
Who am I kidding? The best gifts always come in that orange gift box.
This is the Dyson she's been waiting for.
Luxurious heathered cashmere knit in hoodie form is lounging as God intended.
Therabody's new best-selling face mask helps improve fine lines and wrinkles, firms up loose skin, and evens out skin tone. It's the best LED mask on the market, and it's nearly always sold out. If you see it in stock, buy it.
This isn't some cheesy digital picture frame. It makes whatever art she selects look like it's an actual matte print hanging there on the wall. If she's getting antsy about her home decor, this'll be a spot-on gift.
Honestly, just get her a Bottega bag. Trust me, she will brag about this one to her friends.
Sometimes practical gifts are just the best way to go. The Restore 2 is a bestseller for a reason and will help her sleeping habits.
A necklace with her initial (or maybe your kids) is always a thoughtful way to go.
Know her favorite flowers? Now you can get them designed into a one-of-a-kind ring from Toronto-based jeweler Laurie Fleming.
If her tastes are more extravagant, maximalist even, these Gucci earrings will do the trick.
Ring Concierge Classic Diamond Tennis Bracelet
A diamond tennis bracelet is a hard thing to buy online, but Ring Concierge makes it easy. It comes in several sizes and carat choices, the stones are top quality, and you can even customize one. There's also a mini version if you're looking to spend under $1,000.
Bring her the hotel experience without leaving the house with Soho Home's sinfully soft robe.
This has probably been on her wish list for a while. Just get it for her already. It might not make sense to you, but it'll make sense to her.
These might look basic, but they're the best fucking pants I own. I have them in several colors with the matching zip-up. Please do her a favor and get her this set.
Dr Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite EyeCare Max Pro Device
I know there's already another LED light mask on this list, but I promise you we love these things. If you want a more affordable option, go for this one.
If she's less about traditional diamonds and more about fashionable jewelry pieces, then these new earrings from Polène are a winner.
Aarke Carbonator III Sparkling Water Maker
Fact: Water tastes better when it's sparkling. Give your wife the gift of an endless bubbly water supply.
Maybe she doesn't have a tablet or hers is in need of an upgrade. Either way, the iPad Air is something she'll be excited to rip open right away.
