InStyle / Jaclyn Mastropasqua
We can’t presume to know the perfect gift for every wife. But we do know what’s at the heart of the perfect gift for every wife, which is to make her feel seen, heard and cherished. Even 20 years later, after all the jewelry we’ve received, our favorite gift remains a simple set of mixing bowls — because the gift giver noticed that we loved to bake.
Consider then, your wife’s rituals, routines and hobbies: Does she relish her a.m. flat white? Does she enjoy arranging fresh flowers in that just-right vase? Is no day complete without pajama-party story time with the kids? Perhaps she maps out the best running route or scouts out the best museums in every town she visits. She may collect things — houseplants, handbags, candles or cardigans.
Your job is simply to notice your wife’s particulars — and then consult our list of 72 great gift ideas to show her you’ve been paying attention.
Baby Gold Linear Name Necklace
What could be more personal than her own name or her child’s name — in all caps! We love the modern rounded block letter font on this necklace from affordable LA-based jewelry company Baby Gold. It’s dainty but bold at the same time and is perfect for layering. Comes in 14K solid gold or silver with a 16-inch or 18-inch chain, and has a lifetime guarantee.

Rebecca Minkoff Julian Small Crossbody
This is not a diaper bag. It’s a playful but edgy, bit of rock ‘n roll leather crossbody from Rebecca Minkoff that is an identity all her own. Made with on-trend fringe and plenty of antique silver hardware, including the designer’s signature dog-clip, it’s roomy enough for the all the essentials (including a diaper, actually) but compact enough for everyday wear. Comes in white and black with silver or black hardware, plus carmello (caramel), elephant/gunmetal (light charcoal) and nude.

Vinebox 12 Nights of Wine
Vinebox 12 Nights of Wine is a fun way for wine lovers to discover new favorites — and an excuse to drink every night for nearly two weeks (woo-hoo!). The Cozy Collection has a dozen glass vials of sommelier-curated reds from Italy, France, Spain and California. The Chill Collection features whites, rosés and a few chillable reds. Comes with tasting notes, pairing suggestions and virtual tasting videos. Food and Wine calls this gift set “wildly popular,” which is probably why it sells out every year, so you might want to nab it now while it’s on pre-sale.

MM LaFleur Jolie Jardigan
What exactly is a jardigan? It’s a fun portmanteau — a word combining jacket and cardigan, but what’s important is that it’s about to solve many wardrobe quandaries in one fell swoop. That’s because it has the professional fit and structure of a blazer but the feel of a sweater, which makes it perfect for work, weekends and those nebulous occasions in between when she might be unsure of the dress code. Comes in five colors and sizes from XS to XXL.

Bloomscape Olive Tree
Potted olive trees are being hailed as “the next big thing” in the interior design world, but that’s not the only reason they make a great gift for plant moms. Unlike fiddle leaf fig plants, last year’s design darling with ginormous platter-like leaves that take over a room, the olive tree is its gentle cousin, slow-growing and graceful, with delicate sage-green leaves and a slim trunk. When bathed in bright sunlight, it should even bear fruit within a few years. Choose medium or large in one of five colored eco-pots.

Brilliant Earth Wide Huggie Hoop Earrings
Whether she matches her jewelry to her outfit or sticks with one great look, these modern wide huggie hoops from Brilliant Earth are sure to make the tight rotation. In lustrous 14K gold or silver, they’re well made, comfortable and chic as hell. We’d give them more than five stars if we could. As a bonus, you’ll feel good about supporting a company that uses recycled gold and silver, gives back to local communities through its foundation, and is well on its way to being carbon neutral.

Murray’s Cheese Better Than Cake Tower
If she loves cheese, she probably knows the 60-year-old New York legacy brand Murray’s Cheese. And either way, she’ll definitely love their gourmet cheese tower. Not only will it make an impressive centerpiece for charcuterie night, a cocktail party or any gathering, but the four specialty cheeses will be some of the tastiest she’s ever had. We’re huge fans of Alisios, a creamy tangy goat cheese, and Cave-Aged Original Buttermilk basque, an earthy yogurt sheep’s milk cheese. Repurpose leftovers for lunch with crackers, fruit slices and salted nuts.

Vuori AllTheFeels Legging
It’s a scientific fact (we’re pretty sure) that you’re more likely to do something if you feel good and look good doing it. For exercise inspiration, enter leggings made with Vuori’s new BlissBlend fabric, a performance stretch knit that’s super soft and doesn’t constrict — but still hugs your shape in the most flattering way. The high-rise leggings are breathable, with lightweight support. They come in five colors, sizes short, regular or long, XS to XL. To make it even more giftworthy, make it a set with the matching AllTheFeels bra in sizes XS to XL ($58).

Never Say Never Comfie Thong Five-Pack
Extravagant lacy undies are the kind of splurge many people resist buying for themselves, perhaps out of guilt — but they’re only too pleased to receive them as a gift! The thong undies in this five-pack by lingerie giant Cosabella are made from the brand’s soft-stretch scalloped signature lace and have a mid-rise fit, with wide stretchy lace at the waistband, which makes them comfy and flattering. Comes in several color combos but we’re loving the Roaring Burgundy. Available with a complimentary silk bag because — fancy.

Parfums De Marly Delina Coffret
We’ve officially lost count of the compliments we get on this French floral scent, and have even gifted bottles to its most arduous fans. The eau de parfum is both feminine, with bright notes of Turkish rose, lily of the valley and peony, and sensual, with deeper notes of vanilla, white musk, cashmere, cedarwood and incense. All you need to know is that she’ll feel like a queen wearing this happy, heart-warming fragrance — and you will be her king.

In case you missed the memo, leather (real or not) is the “it” fabric of the season, and you don’t have to be a punk rocker to pull it off. In fact, this faux leather button down from elevated British brand Karen Millen is quite elegant — with a classic collar and patch pockets.

Blvck Paris 'Blvck x Keith Haring' Notebook
Just as pop artist Keith Haring was inspired by graffiti, your wife will be inspired by his art on the cover of this blank hardback notebook, a limited-edition collaboration with style house Blvck Paris. And just as Haring drew with white chalk on the black paper covering vacant advertising panels on city streets, the pages of this journal are black, to be used with two silver and gold gel pens (included) for a more authentic Haring experience. Comes in a gorgeous black box with silver Haring figures. For passionate fans of the artist, consider adding the collection’s heart-embellished cardigan, a blend of wool and cashmere in sizes XS to XL ($140).

Every woman deserves a nice piece of luggage, and July has all the right stuff. Their Checked Plus hard-sided bag, made from durable polycarbonate, has cool features we love, including a hidden laundry bag to keep stinky socks away from clean tops, a compression mechanism that lets you overpack and still zip up easily, and lots of compartments — including for a laptop and portable charger. Smooth wheels and an adjustable telescoping handle make this bag a breeze to use for slightly longer trips — or anytime she’s going to Paris and needs all the ’fits. Add free personalization to make it extra gifty.

CQC Dune Reversible Quilt
This handmade cotton quilt, with warm pinks converging on a golden sun, is more a work of art than a bedspread, but lucky for us, it’s both. Handcrafted by four different types of artisans — using wood carving, block-printing, dying and stitching, it’s made in small batches and features an entirely different design on the reverse. Perfect for the décor aficionado who doesn’t want her home to look like everyone else’s.

Take Nespresso’s easy, convenient one-button brewing and add automatic milk-frothing options — and she’ll never miss her latte before morning carpool again. With the Vertuo Lattissima, she can create velvety cappuccinos or add hot foam to coffee or espresso at the press of a button. There’s no guesswork — or any manual work for that matter — involved. Make a small cup, a big mug, or a whole carafe. It uses her same favorite VertuoLine coffees and espresso capsules but takes them to a whole new level.

Who needs another pair of black pants? Your wife does, because these tailored trousers are only the chicest she’ll ever wear. In a wool blend with a flattering high-waist and wide leg, they’re on-trend for fall-winter 2023 but are a timeless style built to last. We like to pair them with a simple tee and sneakers for a polished but edgy look, but they can easily dress up with a blouse, sweater or the matching Wren Blazer.

If backpacks feel young and briefcases feel old, the Goldilocks special is this new quilted tote from MZ Wallace.

Plus, there are six interior pockets, two exterior pockets, a removable pouch and a key ring strap. We mean, it’s the total package. Comes in five colors, also in small and micro sizes.

Aviator Nation 5-Stripe Hoodie
Barbie fever lives on in this neon pink striped hoodie from California’s surfer-approved brand Aviator Nation. But if pink’s not your wife’s thing, we urge you to choose another color combo (there are 23 to choose from), because this zip-up sweatshirt is the definition of luxury — an everyday item made special. It is ultra soft and yummy, especially when paired with the matching sweatpants. She will reach for it every single day (really).

Candlelight dinners get a refined, minimalist upgrade with handmade white ceramic candle holders from Lostine, an artisanal lighting and home furnishings company based in Philadelphia. In two glazes — Dove, a soft white matte, and glossy Cream, they’re sold separately but take on the look of an art installation when displayed in groups. We love the Bella, the Beau and Sabine, with pleats that remind us of a dancer’s skirt. Add 10-inch taper candles and let the at-home date night begin.

MOTHER The Hustler Patch Pocket High Rise Flare Roller Jean
Denim aficionados hail MOTHER as queen of the jean. We don’t even have to describe the Hustler Patch Pocket High Rise Flare Roller style (in new hue Save Your Soul, a perfectly washed black), because these leggy ladies sell themselves. But just so you know, they’re 90 percent cotton with elastane for subtle stretch, have a zip fly with button closure, feature four-pocket styling and come in sizes 24 to 33.

Sunday Citizen Cusco Lightweight Throw
This Sunday Citizen throw blanket is so dreamily snuggly soft, there must be some wizardry behind it.

This throw is somehow also lightweight and breathable, and comes in 19 delightful designs in multiple colors, though we’re huge fans of the Cusco and XOXO designs — 10 out of 10.
