What your wife really wants for Christmas

If your wife is a working woman, chances are she’s too busy paying attention to others to focus on herself. Give her something that will relieve stress when she comes home from a chaotic day. Promise to make her dinner followed by a massage (brownie points for being thoughtful!). Include a candle set and bath salts scented with her favorite aroma. Stuff the gifts into a fashionable lunch cooler that she can take to work!

 

After she exercises, your wife will love an electronic massage mat to ease her aches and relieve stress. Help her keep track of her daily fitness goals and accomplishments with a personal wellness monitor. For the jogger and more active wife, these gadgets would be much appreciated: cordless headphones, a fitness watch or a water-resistant MP3 player.

 

Treat your wife to the fancy gadgets and niche appliances she really wants, but thinks are too extravagant to buy herself! Wine enthusiasts will love a wine aerator – pair it with wine charms and a bottle or two. Fondue parties have made a comeback, supply her with a fondue set and add the sauce and dipping condiments. And if your wife is a true gourmand, do the running around for her and make a basket of her favorite ingredients like aged balsamic vinegar, a spice grinder, and herbes de Provence.
