Giving your wife an impersonal gift for the holidays could very well land you in the dog house, or worse — as the laughing stock among her friends. And that happens more than you might think: A survey of 2,000 people released last year revealed that roughly half of respondents said they were trapped in a bad gift-giving pattern in which they repeatedly got gifts they didn’t like from someone, who thought they actually did like the gifts. So this year, we’ve highlighted some of the common gifts people give their wives that often aren’t that well-loved, and what to give her instead.
Lunya Washable Silk Set
$178 at Lunya, with free returns, free shipping on orders over $200
Made from 100% machine-washable silk, this luxurious set is soft and beautiful — and designed to be worn everyday instead of only for special occasions. “This set is even better IRL than I thought it would be. The material is cool to the touch, and the silk has a brushed sheen to it,” writes one Glamour editor who tried, and loved, Lunya. This set is the female-owned brand’s No. 1 best seller and is available in 10 colors.
Harry & David's Chocolate of the Month Club
$212 for six months with code CLUB
From perennial favorites like chocolate covered cherries to decadent options like chocolate truffles, this monthly chocolate club is perfect for those with a sweet tooth. Each month’s box of chocolates is themed (November, for example, features a variety of sea salt caramels, while March is all about the dark chocolate truffle, and May features a variety of chocolate-covered fruits). You also have the option of swapping your first month’s delivery to a premium gift, so she has something extra special to open on the holidays.
Amazon Explore: Virtual Food & Wine experiences
Starting at $20 on Amazon
Shakti Acupressure Mat
$69 at Amazon
Does your wife suffer from chronic pain, tech neck, headaches, body stiffness or stress? This studded, handmade acupressure mat, invented by a Swedish monk, stimulates key pressure points to relax your muscles. The company also notes that it is committed to giving back, employing over 300 craftspeople and helping the people of India through charitable initiatives.
Away Bigger Carry-On with Pocket
$275 at Away
The Away carry on has earned many rave reviews: Wirecutter named the Away carry-on their pick for the best hard-sided, carry-on suitcase; CNN’s Underscored says Away is definitely worth the hype because it’s “lightweight, thoughtfully designed and durable; and a Business Insider reviewer noted: After using the Away Carry-On for 3 years, I can honestly say it’s worth the hype.” I personally own and love this carry-on, which fits in all overhead compartments, wheels through airports like a dream and can hold all of my overpacking tendencies — plus it has a pocket on the front to contain any overflow.
Avaline Complete Wine Set (4 bottles) with Tasting Video Featuring Cameron Diaz
$79.99
Avaline wines are a line of clean, vegan wines by Cameron Diaz and Katherine Power that are made with organic grapes and without unnecessary extras. This set comes with a white blend, rosé, a red blend and Avaline’s sparkling wine. One of their producers of red wine, EthicDrinks, was awarded most sustainable packaging in wine in 2021 by the French government.
Aloisia Beauty Let Your Skin Glow
$60 at Aloisia Beauty, free shipping on orders over $25
This 7-day skin care system comes with 7 single-use masks that promise to soothe, brighten, revitalize and moisturize the skin, as well as a rose quartz Gua Sha for a post-mask DIY facial massage. Instead of a one-time spa treatment, this week-long therapy gives her a treatment to look forward to each day — all without the use of mineral oils, parabens or sulfates.
The Everyday Bow by NIGHT x Jill Buck
$45 at Night, with free shipping on orders over $50
Celebrity hair stylist Jill Buck designed this bow with fit, function and ease-of-wear in mind. It’s made from NIGHT’s famous TriSilk fabric, which is a blend of mulberry silk and spandex, and is made to protect against hair breakage. This on-trend accessory is gentle enough on her hair that she can wear it all day — at home or to a holiday party.
Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer Hot Air Brush
$34.88
Abby Hardy, celebrity colorist at Andy LeCompte, says this game-changing device is the perfect holiday gift. “It’ll leave you looking like you just left the salon with a professional blowout. You will have all the volume and smoothness you want in about half the time of your traditional brush and blow dry routine,” says Hardy.
The Party Peel's Golden Illuminizing Peel
$65 at The Route, with free shipping and free samples
Self-care gifts are one of the most-desired gifts right now: A survey of 2,000 people found that 69% of Americans said they planned to do more self-care in 2021 than they had in the past. But don’t go for a run-of-the-mill self-care gift. This illuminating peel is formulated for at-home use once to twice per week and is designed to mimic the results of an in-office peel. It won a Modern Luxury Riviera breakthrough beauty award this year.
