Please Read!. Review on Choosing Gifts for a Wife

Well, since I am a wife I can tell you what I personally would like from my husband. In fact, these gifts he has given to me without being told. However, I am sharing them so that others might get an idea of what to give to a wife or significant other.

Cooking: My husband and I both like to cook, but it seems I do most of the cooking, because I get home first at the end of the day. I really appreciate when he takes the time to prepare a good meal for the two of us and lets me relax. If you are not a good cook, you can at least help your significant other by chopping vegetables or doing the dishes after the meal. Or just order food to be delivered. Also, you could set the table and have some candles and soft music. This is a simple'gift' that lets the person know you appreciate her and you are willing to also contribute in the household chores. It is a great way to set a romantic mood as well.

Spa Time: This sounds silly to some people, but I like to be pampered by my husband rather than going to a salon for these services. You can draw a bath for her. Use scented oils or bubble bath in the tub. Rose petals and bath oil make a good combination. Even lavender is nice and soothing. Light some candles and let her soak for a while. While she is soaking gently apply a facial mask. Let her close her eyes and enjoy the calm atmosphere. Wash her body gently with a sponge or puff and then pat her dry with a fluffy towel.

Next, I always like a massage. The warm water of the bath relaxes muscles, and a massage with some nice lotion or oil. Make sure you get the arms, neck, back, legs, and feet. Just massaging the shoulders or back does not treat the whole body.

Dancing: No, you still do not have to leave the house. After the bath and massage it is time to set the mood. Put on a CD of her favourite slow songs and dance with her in your arms. You can say nice things about how beautiful she is and how much you appreciate everything she does for you. Stress that this is her night, and you are taking care of her needs.

Conclusion: This is a perfect gift to me. You do not have to leave the house, and you do not have to break the bank buying an expensive gift. To me, being pampered and appreciated like this is better than any tangible trinket he could buy in a store. This type of gift is appropriate ofr any occasion, not just a birthday. It is only my opinion!
