To err is human. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary or some other date of importance, it’s unlikely you will go a whole lifetime without making a mistake once or twice. However, we’re not here for the blame game. We’re here to ensure the important events you remember are the best they can be. A well chosen gift can show your wife how much she means to you. Even though we’re giving you a little leg up, it’s down to you to pick the present from our list that will put the biggest smile on her face.
We understand that picking out gifts can be a tougher task than it sounds, which is exactly why this list includes items for all kinds of personalities and all kinds of budgets. From diamond earrings and Kate Spade handbags to a coloring book and scented candles, it’s definitely important to remember that price doesn’t dictate what a gift is worth, nor does it need to be given on a predefined day (why not surprise your wife today?).
For the more forgetful out there, here’s a pro tip. Rather than wait for an important occasion to come around and realize you’ve forgotten, choose one of these gifts, order it and keep it safe for a “rainy day” situation. It may seem like a silly idea now, but when it saves your back, you’ll be thanking us for the safeguard.
