Shopping for Christmas presents can be really stressful, especially for men. What in the heck should you get your wife? A lot of times husbands mess up pretty badly with holiday gifts… not on purpose of course it just doesn’t come natural and many men don’t understand what a woman really wants.
There are two very common mistakes that a husband makes during the holidays. First off, buying electronics is never a good idea. If it has a cord or needs a battery most women won’t be pleased. A lot of times these kind of gifts are more for you then for your wife… even if you think she will love it. Unless the words “I would like a —” come out of your wife’s mouth then stay away from electronics.
The second common mistake is fitness stuff. Again, unless your wife has actually said “I would like a treadmill for Christmas” or whatever, then stay away from this. It’s because when she unwraps it her confidence will plummet and she will immediately assume you want her to lose weight.
So then what should you get her? As vain as it sounds she wants something that she can brag to her friends about and make you out to be the best husband. That’s just how we are. To accomplish that it has to be something luxurious and romantic.
Of course you could go with jewelry, but that is very cliche. If you go with jewelry then put some thought into it. For example if you have kids, get her a necklace with the main stones being their birthstones. If no kids, then get her something with the stone from the month you were married.
Another great idea is a pamper gift, or a surprise day. For example wake up her with breakfast in bed, with a little gift on the tray maybe being a surprise day at the spa. Give her a silk robe (which feels super luxurious) for her to take along. Then when she returns there could be a sexy little black dress and new sexy heels waiting for her so you can go out on a romantic date on the town. Think about the stories she will be telling her friends and how much you will win “Husband of the Year”!
Other good holiday gifts include: silk sheets, the latest Coach purse that she has been eyeing for quite some time, or something as small as a nice perfume. Any of these and you will be good to go.
