16 Easy Budget Christmas Gift Ideas for Your Wife

Choosing  the perfect Christmas gift for your wife can be a daunting task.  There are so many things to choose from and you don’t want to disappoint her.  Especially when we’re approaching the holiday season, you don’t want to overlook the perfect gift for her.

What to Get Your Wife for Christmas : 16 easy budget gift ideas



1.  Gift set

One of my suggestions is to give her items that come packed in a set.  There are many different kinds of products sold and packaged in gift sets. Women usually love these, because they look wonderful and you can get different items at once.  

Popular gift sets that most women want are beauty gift sets such as make-up, skin care and sets of women’s fragrances. Another good idea is a spa gift set.  These make a wonderful gift for someone who loves to enjoy pampering themselves.  

To help you decide, find out which brands she regularly uses, or what she actually does want for Christmas.  Listen for hints but she may have already told you, so think about this.

2.  Chocolate

I know some of you think this is a boring idea.  Actually this timeless gift is always appreciated.  Women love chocolate.  If you want to give her something different, a box of liquor chocolate or maybe truffles.

3.  A dinner for two at her favorite restaurant

In this festive season, most restaurants offer a special dinner for couples. You can take her to her favorite place or try a new place where both of you can have a new dining experience, someplace romantic.

4.  A heart pendant necklace

Appreciate your love with a heart shaped pendant necklace made from diamond or sterling silver. If you’re a sentimental person, have the pendant engraved with something loving, such as “you hold my heart forever”.  That will surely melt her heart.

5.  New cookware set

Start a new healthy life by using reduced fat cookware.  Typically, this cookware has a non-stick coating and is easily cleaned.  For smaller budgets, try a frying or grill pan.

6.  A new watch

It depends on her style and personality, you can pick something that’s casual, luxurious or sporty.

7.  Canvas storage boxes and bins

I like keeping magazines and I also have a lot of books.  From time to time I need to declutter the house and these need to go into storage boxes.  

I love colorful canvas boxes, and  can’t keep my eyes off them everytime I go to my favorite container store.  

Organizing your home storage needs takes careful planning and plenty of time.  She will want a lot of boxes to keep everything neat and clean.

8.  Arts and crafts project

If she loves doing craft projects in her spare time, you can buy a project kit or find a craft project online and buy all the items needed for the project.  

Project ideas would be like creating a personalized card, a bespoke wall clock or a gift bag.

9. Gift certificate or card from her favorite online store

This is a quick and useful idea if you think it’s better for her to do her own shopping.  It’s less of a headache for you and the most importantly, she can get whatever she wants for Christmas.

10.  Cell phone cases

I always have a new case for my Samsung phone, and I believe most of us love receiving a new one. You can combine this with other small gifts, such as a packet of chocolates, a gift card or other items and use them as stocking stuffers.

11.  Traveling gifts

If traveling is your wife’s lifestyle or she travels a lot with her job, you can consider giving one of these items : handbag organizer, travel cosmetic bag or travel packing organizer.

12.  Coffee and tea sampler

If she‘s a coffee or tea person like I am, she would be thrilled to receive a sampler set of coffees or teas.

13.  Collectible Christmas ornaments or figurines
   
Every year, Hallmark releases their new and notable Christmas ornaments, which in my opinion is worth collecting. They have unique gift items based on a theme or on special characters.

14.  Special gourmet gift set

If your wife is on a diet or is limited in what she can eat, like a vegetarian, it would be a nice if you gave her a customized gift set, such as gluten or sugar free, low fat or vegan products.

15.  Homemade baked goodies

If she loves to bake, buy some ingredients, kitchen accessories such as a colorful spatula set, and put  them in a nice basket.  A fine baking recipe book would be a great addition too.

16.  A spa gift certificate

After a stressful and hectic day, she deserves to have a free day at a nice spa.  Look for a nice and luxurious spa close by, ask if they provide a gift vouchers for a full day spa treatment.
