2. Washable Silk Pajamas
Lunya's best-selling mulberry silk pajamas are the crème de la crème of sleepwear. They're soft, sophisticated and, most importantly, machine washable. Low-maintenance silk? Now that's a dream come true. We personally love this oversized T-shirt and short set in the limited tan color, but you can also shop tank top or pant sets and even robes. (FYI for new customers: Use the code FOR-TK for 15% off your first purchase from the retailer.)
3. Scratch-Off Date Idea Book
The Adventure Challenge is one of our all-time favorite creative gifts for your wife. The scratch-off book is filled with unique date ideas like cooking an apple pie blindfolded or painting a masterpiece on each other. There's a catch though, once you scratch off a square, you have to do the challenge. (Don't worry, there's a time and money guide over each box to help you decide which to reveal.) We suggest pairing the book with their instant camera, so as you complete each date, you can turn the guide into a scrapbook. Use code THEKNOT20 for 20% off your purchase.
4. Gold Mama Necklace
If you're shopping for a gift for your wife that celebrates her mom status, look no further. This dainty 14-karat gold necklace can be personalized with the letters of your choosing. We suggest spelling out "mama," "mom," or whatever title she prefers to go by.
5. Recipes From Historical Figures
Looking for a gift for a history lover? Or how about the world's best home baker? If she's all of the above, your wife will be seriously impressed by this unique present. It's a subscription that offers a whole year of recipes from famous figures throughout history. Each month, your spouse gets a replica of the handwritten recipe (as well as a transcript in case any of the handwriting is hard to read). From pancakes by Rosa Parks to Queen Elizabeth II's scone recipe, there's a lot to get excited about. Just choose between a six- or 12-month duration.
6. Coffee and Tea Gift Set
An Atlas Coffee Club subscription is a great gift for your wife year-round, but the brand has come out with a special offering just for Mother's Day that's sure to be a hit. Take it from someone who knows: Being a mom is an exhausting job! There are few supermoms out there who wouldn't welcome this genius gift set with four sample bags of specialty coffee (aka her energy to start the day) and four sample bags of herbal teas (her ticket to relaxation after hours).
7. An Indoor Garden
Say hello to Click & Grow, a company that makes gardening accessible in a whole new, seriously smart way. This app-controlled smart garden grows everything from herbs and veggies to fruits and flowers—indoors. A grow light and automatic watering do all of the heavy lifting, bringing fresh tastes, joyful colors and soothing scents right to the kitchen countertop. No wonder it's such a popular gift for wives.
8. Retro Reel Viewer
Who's ready for some serious nostalgia? Use this retro reel viewer to put her favorite memories on display in an adorable, creative way. It's a gift that requires a little lead time, but the end result is so worth it. Your purchase comes with the gadget and a redemption code to create your reel, so give yourself enough time to craft and order your custom photo story.
9. Birth Flower Necklace
We'd be remiss if we didn't include jewelry as one of the top gifts for your wife. First up: a piece that'd make a perfect birthday present. This symbolic pendant necklace features her birth flower and comes in sterling silver, 14K gold filled or 14K rose-gold filled. For a touch of romance, stack two or more pendants on the chain—her birth flower, yours and any children.
10. Rosé Tasting Flight
What's better than a dozen roses? A dozen rosés. This beautifully packaged tasting flight is the perfect way for wine lovers to celebrate a romantic occasion. Each bottle conveniently holds 187 millileters, ideal for two people tasting or one person to enjoy a nice tall glass.
11. Pushpin Map
Oh, the places you'll go—and the places you've been! A pushpin map helps you and your wife keep track of all of your wonderful travels together. Best of all, you can personalize this interactive wall art with anything that you want, like your names and an important date or a sweet phrase such as: "You're my favorite adventure." What a cute gift!
12. Smart Watch Accessories
Give her Apple Watch a glow-up with this glamorous gift set.

Now she can switch up her style—but always be bejeweled—whenever she pleases.
13. Custom Song
If you really want to pull out all the stops for your beloved wife, you can stop scrolling. This professional musician will turn your love story into a one-of-a-kind song. Answer some questions and singer-songwriter David Morgan will create a custom track. He'll then send you an MP3 file with the tune and a PDF of the lyrics (psst, get it framed). If that's not a romantic gift for your wife, we don't know what is.
14. Wear-Everywhere Sweatshirt
The warmest woman in your life deserves a cozy sweatshirt in her favorite color. This one is made from heavyweight cotton and comes in lots of different hues, from bright and trendy pastels to timeless neutrals. She can never have too many of this comfy closet staple.
15. Custom Constellation Drinkware
Here's a super romantic gift for your wife: custom night-sky glassware.

Choose between two wine glasses, two beer glasses or one of each.
16. Elegant Sapphire Earrings
When shopping for a jewelry gift for your wife, nothing commemorates a momentous occasion quite like precious gemstones. The sapphire stones in these classic earrings weigh just over two carats and are AAA (excellent) quality. Finished with 18-karat white gold and round natural diamonds, they're a truly special accessory. You can play around with carat size, metal type and more to create a piece of jewelry your wife (and budget) will love.
17. Sound Wave Art
If you're hoping to truly wow your wife with a romantic gift, this personalized wall art will do just that. This shop will turn a special song into a modern sound wave print. This sweet and sentimental present will definitely be hung in a place of prominence.
18. Self-Care Subscription
Why give your wife one pampering gift when you can give her six whole months of glorious self-care? This thoughtful subscription is a must-buy for Mother's Day (though we wager she'd appreciate this present at any time of the year). Some examples of the monthly deliveries she'll receive include a home spa gift set and a crystal bath bomb gift set. Go on, she deserves it.
19. Trendy Travel Cup
We're sure your wife has already told you how Stanley cups are all the rage. Surprise her with the brand's iconic giant handled tumbler in a trendy sage green color. It holds 30 ounces of her favorite chilled beverage.
20. Mini Fire Pit
This little gadget will create an instant campsite ambiance, even when she's stuck inside in the winter. The personal fire pit uses rubbing alcohol and a match to start a small flame in the concrete furnace. And it's safe for roasting s'mores indoors, so naturally you have to pair this unique gift for your wife with marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers.
21. Virtual Class
If you're shopping for a gift for your wife who has everything, check out Uncommon Experiences. The popular gift shop Uncommon Goods has expanded to offer a curated list of virtual classes for every interest, from mixology to astrology. She can smoke some cocktails, study her birth chart or paint her pet—all from the comfort of home. And of course, you're welcome to join her! In fact, there are some excellent offerings for date night, like this aphrodisiac-inspired cooking class. This is both a cool and unexpected gift that she'll brag about to all of her friends.
22. Health-Tracking Ring
If she's obsessed with stats, she'll instantly want to slip this bad boy on her finger. Ōura rings are at the forefront of health-tracking accessories. This minimalistic device is a lot less obvious than a chunky fitness watch and tracks sleep, activity, heart health, women's health and more. All of the data is synced to the Ōura app for an easy-to-read analysis of her health and fitness.
23. Sparkly Tennis Bracelet
This romantic gift for your wife is a lot more affordable than it looks. That's because it's made with dazzling Swarovski crystals instead of actual diamonds. The bracelet looks just as stunning for a fraction of the price. Tennis bracelets are a classic style that anyone with an eye for sophisticated sparkle will appreciate.
24. Nostalgic Jean Jacket
Levi's jeans are having a major moment and we have Beyoncé Cowboy Carter to thank. Jeans can be tricky to gift because you need to get the sizing exactly right. The good news is you can still give your wife a present inspired by the trend: this '90s-inspired jean jacket that comes in sizes XXS-XL. It has a relaxed fit, which means it's hard to go wrong with sizing.
25. Coveted Hair Tool
Is your wife frustrated with her getting-ready routine? The beauty world is obsessed with the Dyson Airwrap and she might be too. Yes, it's definitely expensive, but the idea is that it replaces an entire arsenal of pricey hair tools. The award-winning device comes with a range of accessories, from hair-smoothing brushes to curling barrels and even an attachment that dries and styles damp hair at the same time. Keep an eye on Dyson's Deals page for special sales and promotions. And check out the product reviews for some very convincing testimonials.
26. Love Letter Necklace
Here's a thoughtful gift for your wife if she loves unique and meaningful jewelry. This necklace is actually a locket with a pull-out love letter stashed inside of the envelope charm. Personalize the "paper" with a small note, like your wedding date or "I love you" in your own handwriting. You've just found the sweetest wedding anniversary gift for your wife.
27. Flower Subscription
Flowers are one romantic gift for your wife that'll never go out of style. Give your spouse fresh, farm-to-vase blooms with a subscription to flower gift delivery service BloomsyBox. Now she can have a beautiful bouquet on her birthday and every month after. Is your wife more of a plant mom? Bloomsybox now offers a plant subscription too. Take 20% off your purchase with our exclusive code KNOT20.
28. A MasterClass Subscription
If your wife loves to learn, a virtual class is a great gift idea.

There are also cooking lessons from world-renowned chefs, writing lessons from famous authors and so much more.
29. Pearl Bracelet
When it comes to jewelry, you can't go wrong with something classic—like pearls. (Plus, pearlcore is totally trending.) This dainty pearl bracelet puts a delicate spin on a timeless style for under $100.
30. DNA Kit

The machine-washable knit fabric (made from responsibly sourced eucalyptus fibers) is lightweight, breathable and complemented by bouncy, cushioned midsoles.
32. Patterned Robe
Hill House Home's coveted Nap Dresses are a viral sensation, but don't sleep on the brand's other, equally excellent offerings. This cheerful hotel robe—made from plush, organic cotton—will make her feel like she's on vacation every single morning. Not to mention, you can add her monogram. Everyone knows a comfy robe is an excellent Christmas present, but one this beautiful is a welcome gift for your wife on any occasion.
33. Trending Lip Oil
She's already super kissable, but she'll still love this iconic lip oil from Dior. The silky formula will make her pout even softer, with a subtle hint of color. Kick things up a notch and get the tube personalized.
34. Mini Do-It-All Pan
Our Place has created an adorably sized version of the famous Always Pan. It's convenient for cooking sides, single fried eggs and meals for one. Any culinarily adventurous spouse will appreciate this nifty tool (especially if you don't always share their advanced foodie palate). With the Mini Always Pan, she can create her own delicious concoctions in singular portions. The most genius part of all? It can be used as a frying pan, skillet, steamer… the list goes on.
35. Seasonal Shoe Upgrade
The days are getting longer and (hopefully) warmer, which means it's probably time for a closet rotation. Help your wife upgrade her summer wardrobe with a cute and comfy pair of sandals. This editor-approved pick from Reef comes in a soft shade of pink that'll bring subtle color to any outfit.
36. Galaxy Rose Light
If she has a soft spot for fairy tales, she'll obsess over this enchanted rose. With iridescent glass petals and a gold-colored stem, it's truly a sight to behold. The flower sits in a charming glass dome surrounded by fairy lights. Talk about a magical gift to give your wife! One thing to note: It requires three AAA batteries which aren't included.
37. Leather Makeup Travel Case
Your wife probably already has a toiletry bag of sorts, but does it put in as much work as this clever kit? We doubt it. This full-grain leather makeup bag has a water-resistant lining, with six interior pockets (two zippered, four open) to fit all her travel essentials. Oh, and did we mention it comes in 11 different colors? Best of all, though, it can be debossed, hand-painted or even trapunto quilted with her monogram.
38. UV Phone Sanitizer
For the woman who takes sanitization seriously, there's the PhoneSoap Pro. This UV-powered disinfecting device can kill bacteria on her phone, credit cards and even her jewelry. It's the gadget that she never knew she needed, but one that she'll definitely appreciate having.

A shiny new watch is a great gift for your wife because it commemorates all the time you two have spent together. (It's also a good gift idea for the wife who could use an upgrade.) This gorgeous timepiece comes in trendy rose gold-tone stainless steel and features the date and day of the week on the dial. Yep, it's functional and stylish.
41. Weekend Duffle Bag
We know your wife has seen—and probably shown you—this viral bag before. So, here's your reminder that she wants it! The Mini Weekender has all the sought-after features of the original, but is sized to fit as a personal item on a plane. And it has a trolley pass to easily stack with her rolling luggage. With three interior pockets and a padded tech sleeve, plus an exterior zip pocket and a bottom shoe compartment, she'll be able to pack and overpack for any vacation.
42. Cozy Weighted Blanket
Let's talk weighted blanket benefits: They help stimulate serotonin (the happy hormone) and reduce cortisol (the stress hormone) as well as increase melatonin (the sleep hormone) to help users relax and rest efficiently. Trust us, this chunky-knit blanket will improve every snuggle-sesh. Plus, it's eco-friendly.
43. Colored Wine Glasses
This year's must-have kitchen accessory is colored glasses. From wine glasses, flutes and coupes to rocks glasses and goblets, this fun drinkware will make every table setting feel like a party. Purchase a set of six stemmed wine glasses in her favorite color or three sets of two for a colorful assortment.
44. Personalized Swivel Cheese Board
If your wife isn't already the hostess with the mostest, she will be after receiving this gift. This bamboo, compact serving board starts in a triangle shape, but can open into a tiered, circular server for the ultimate charcuterie board.

Better still, it can be custom engraved with her monogram, so at a potluck, everyone will know it's hers.
45. Foolproof Bread Pan

46. Romantic Preserved Rose
Roses are a universal symbol of romance, and there's something even more special about giving your wife a single rose rather than a bouquet's worth of blooms. She is the single most special person in your life, so she deserves the single most special flower. The best part? Venus et Fleur's preserved roses last for a year or longer. Simply choose her favorite rose color, then add a card at check-out.
47. Comfy Wide-Leg Pants
Your wife might have a closet full of cozy loungewear already, but that doesn't mean she won't appreciate more, especially if it's from Outdoor Voices. Their CloudKnit pants are lightweight, breathable, wrinkle-resistant and—as the name suggests—extremely soft. And thanks to the trendy wide-leg cut, they'll instantly become a favorite 'fit.
48. Romantic Ring
If you're looking for a romantic birthday or holiday gift for your wife, this unique signet ring is perfect. Fittingly called the "Promise Ring," it features two hands pinky swearing with little hearts. It'll reconfirm your vows in a trendy way.

Nodpod's weighted sleep masks are cleverly designed to soothe migraines, calm anxiety and promote restful sleep. The weighted pods provide just the right amount of pampering pressure and conveniently block out the light, so she's not limited to using it at nighttime. The cotton jersey and microfiber fleece fabric are delightfully soft on the skin, too.

Simply send her the gift over email the day of!
52. Genius Beauty Balm
Your wife is already the most beautiful woman in the world, so she certainly doesn't need makeup as a gift—but that doesn't mean she won't enjoy it. If your S.O. likes to follow the latest beauty trends, she'll adore Jones Road's Miracle Balm. This clever little pot is the key to achieving a cool "no makeup" look. It enhances natural beauty by adding a sheer pop of color with or without foundation. (Psst, you can use the site's color-matching quiz to figure out her perfect shade—we won't tell!)
53. Luxury Scented Candle
Yes, your wife absolutely needs more candles. Diptyque's luxury candles are all the hype, and for good reason, they smell divine and look oh-so-chic. Gift her one of their most loved candles, Roses, or browse their dreamy collection here.
54. Cool Polarized Sunglasses
A nice pair of sunnies are a must heading into the summer season (or all year round if you live somewhere sunny—nope, we're not jealous at all). These best-selling shades have a trendy round frame and precision-made polarized lenses. The frame is also lightweight thanks to its sustainable, recycled plastic material. Basically, they're the perfect sunglasses and we think your wife will totally agree.

It's an elegant and personal place for her to store her favorite baubles, like her wedding ring.
56. Custom Phone Case
If she's not due for a phone upgrade just yet, upgrade her phone case instead. Though BaubleBar is best known for its jewelry, they also have custom phone cases for a different kind of fashion statement. They have lots of colorful and bold—like seriously 3D—designs to choose from. Just select her model and favorite color then add her name or initials.
57. Personalized Garden Tote
