The Best Christmas Presents For Your Wife 2024
Stylish and covetable present ideas that will impress even the hardest wives to buy for!
1. Oversized Quilted Crossbody Bag – COS
When the XL tote made a comeback earlier this year, there was a collective sigh of relief from women everywhere who prefer to bring along everything but the kitchen sink to every kind of occasion. This season, we’ve got our eye on this oversized quilted, slouchy style from COS which can be worn across the body or over the shoulder. It’s made from soft recycled cotton, and we can’t enough of the pillowy texture.
Expert take: This style comes in a few different colours, but the washed grey denim is perfect for winter.
2. The Skincare Selection Box Hydrate & Nourish – Tropic
There’s a wealth of beauty and skincare sets that are worthy of a spot underneath the tree this Christmas, but our top pick is the Hydrate & Nourish Selection Box from Tropic, which makes an ideal Christmas present for your wife. The products might be targeted at dry and dehydrated skin types but are perfect for complexions of all kinds (and a good-old Sunday pamper session).
Expert take: The full set includes Tropic's cult Smoothing Cleanser, bamboo face cloth, Morning Mist toning essence, Skin Feast moisturiser, Rainforest Dew hydration serum and a Hydrogel Face Mask.
3. Maeve Heart Mules – Anthropologie
Our obsession with red pointy flats continues and thankfully they’re not going anywhere fast. These backless kitten heels from Anthropologie will take your wife effortlessly from day to night without her having to keep a pair of flats stashed in her handbag or under her desk – plus they look really great with boyfriend denim on the weekend.
Expert take: Some reviews state that these shoes run small, so it might be worth sizing up if she’s in between sizes.
4. Ceramic Pasta Bowl – Oliver Bonas
If she loves nothing more than kicking back on the sofa on a Friday night with a huge bowl of fettuccine then not only is she a girl after our own hearts, but she’ll probably love this charming and colourful ceramic pasta bowl from Oliver Bonas. The hand-painted design and glazed finish really add to the handmade feel.
Expert take: If you’re feeling spenny, there’s the option to mix and match with other pieces from the range but you will want everything. Don’t say we didn’t warn you…
5. Fine Art Glitter Print – The Glitter Store by Lillie Bernie
Having created artwork for the likes of Paris Hilton, Sophia Richie and Molly Mae Hague, model and artist Lillie Bernie is killing it right now with her gorgeous fine art prints and bespoke pieces – and we’re very much into it. This high-quality print is hand-embellished with glitter for an extra touch of sparkle and glam and can be purchased in a range of sizes and colours.
Expert take: Looking for personalised Christmas present ideas for your wife? Lillie can turn your own photos into magical pieces of art, too. Why not submit one of your wedding photos for a timeless and creative Christmas gift?
6. Ravaged Rose Eau de Parfum – AllSaints
Have you even been into an AllSaints store lately if you don’t come out smelling like one of the brand’s stunning new fragrances? If not, we highly suggest you familiarise yourself with its new scent library, because it’s just as cool as the high-street label’s garms. Our Christmas pick for her would be Ravaged Rose – a unisex fragrance infused with spice, amber and woody notes for a rich and vibrant take on floral.
Expert take: Famed for its cult leather jackets and signature biker boots, it's only fitting that AllSaints packages its fragrances in chic leather-wrapped bottles. We love.
7. Violetta Gold Pearl Ring – Carrie Elizabeth Jewellery
Beautiful jewellery pieces are still one of the most chic and classic options to gift your wife at Christmas. We’re very much lusting after this gold vermeil ring set with luminous freshwater pearl stones from Carrie Elizabeth Jewellery which looks great either worn alone or as part of a stack.
Expert take: Did you know that wearing pearl is said to have energising properties of prosperity and abundance, helping to manifest luck and wealth? As if you needed another reason to buy it…
8. Shearins Slippers – Loaf
Slippers are one of those classic present ideas for a wife at Christmas that’s almost always appreciated. Everyone wants a comfortable pair of house shoes to slip into when they get home, and you’ll be hard pushed to find a pair more inviting than these from Loaf. They’re made from Australian shearling for maximum warmth, softness and breathability.
Expert take: If Netflix and Snuggle is the vibe here, may we point you in the direction of the matching hot water bottle and/or scatter cushions? Just sayin’…
9. Oversized Hoodie – Skims
Sticking with the cosy theme, if you want to treat your wife to a little luxury, you're searching Christmas present ideas for your pregnant wife, or you’re simply trying to pin down a gift for the girl who has everything, fancy-pants basics are the way to go. This super snug, oversized hoodie from Skims comes in four colours – you can even pick up matching shorts or joggers to pair with it.
Expert take: If there’s one thing Skims does especially well, it’s extended sizing – this hoodie is available in XXS-4XL (around UK2-32).
10. The Aphrodite Bralette – Zeus in Oslo
Lingerie has long had a reputation for being difficult to get right, but trust us when we say she’ll love this gorgeous bralette from Zeus in Oslo. Nailing the balance between being a little bit sexy and a little bit fun, the collections from this indie brand are designed to make women feel like goddesses – and this supremely soft bra (available in either black or pink) does just that. It’ll look great peeking out from beneath a semi-sheer blouse or oversized shirt.
Expert take: Choose from a range of cute sewn-on motifs, including cherries, strawberries, hearts, lightning bolts and more – or keep it bare.
11. Electronic Diffuser – The White Company
If you’re searching for Christmas presents for the wife who has enough scented candles to open her own shop, it may be time for a home fragrance upgrade – and this beautiful ceramic diffuser from The White Company tops the brand’s bestseller list year after year. This will scent any space in minutes while also hydrating the air around you.
Expert take: This doesn’t come with any fragranced oils, but you can purchase them separately. Fill your home with everything from pomegranate to lavender and the store’s signature Lime & Bay scent.
12. Icon Straw Cup – Thermos
It may have been a certain other straw cup that took over TikTok and Instagram, but if you’re looking for a more affordable alternative for her iced coffee addiction that still has IG appeal, we highly recommend the Icon straw cup from Thermos, a travel tumbler that’ll do exactly what Thermos has always promised – keep your cold drinks cold for up to 22 hours.
Expert take: This comes in five colours, including pale blue, icy white and stainless steel.
13. Belted Wool Blend Coat – & Other Stories
If your wife has dropped one or two hints that she needs a new coat this Christmas, the trench is a failsafe choice. This one from & Other Stories is at the pricier end of the scale but come rain or shine, it’s a go-to hero that’s as hardworking as she is – so go on, she deserves it.
Expert take: This belted style offers a relaxed fit with pockets and buttoned tabs at the cuffs.
14. The Iconic Duo Gift Set – Pai Skincare
If you’re looking for stocking fillers, this cute set from Pai Skincare features two of our favourite products for skin that’s been blasted by cold winds and central heating – The Anthemis Moisturiser and the Rosehip Biorengenerate Overnight Face Oil, in miniature. Trust us, she’ll enjoy reaping their calming, hydrating and rejuvenating benefits.
Expert take: Both products are clinically tested to be suitable for sensitive skin so even if you’re unsure of her skin type, these are more than likely to suit.
15. Anna + Nina Striped Notebook – Anthropologie
Does she regularly enjoy putting pen to paper? How about upgrading her to-do list with a chic new notebook. This colourful striped design from Anna + Nina at Anthropologie will add a vibrant and stylish touch to her home office.
Expert take: This affordable pick makes another great stocking filler present idea for the wife who has everything.
16. Rib Triangle Scarf – Arket
Help her cosy up against the winter chill with this stylish ribbed triangle knit from Arket – it makes a chic alternative to a traditional scarf and an ideal Christmas present for your wife.
Expert take: Knitted from a blend of cotton, wool and alpaca, this will make a great addition to her winter wardrobe and look great with skinny denim and suede boots.
17. Laura Ashley 6L Stand Mixer – Boots
Is she in her baking era? This stand mixer from Laura Ashley is straight out of a Pinterest board and quite possibly the most beautiful kitchen appliance we’ve ever seen. It’s not just a pretty face either; it features 10 speed options that effortlessly power through dough and thick batter in minutes, a dishwasher-safe stainless-steel bowl, and various attachments and a handy splash cover to make cleaning it a doddle.
Expert take: If your wife is one to regularly bake up a storm in the kitchen, this 6L mixer will make life easier and save her loads of time, but a smaller version is also available.
18. Dualit Cocoatiser Hot Chocolate Maker – John Lewis
Is there anything more mood-boosting in the winter months than curling up on the sofa with a good hot chocolate? If your wife is a chocolate lover, too, then the Cocoatiser from Dualit is the gift that just keeps on giving. This compact appliance will whip up rich, velvety smooth hot chocolate in minutes – plus it’s super easy to clean. We’ll hazard a guess that you’ll also save a small fortune in takeaway drinks…
Expert take: We love the on-trend copper finish, but you can also get this appliance in black and stainless steel to suit most kitchen countertops.
19. Organic Cotton Striped Pyjama Set – Chelsea Peers
No Christmas present roundup is complete without the perfect set of pyjamas – all-day PJ wearing is one of the perks of the festive period, right? Enter Chelsea Peers and these organic cotton button-up striped pyjamas with their cute side pockets, elasticated waistband (hellooo, cheeseboard) and tonal piping.
Expert take: If you're looking for Christmas present ideas for your pregnant wife, be sure to check out Chelsea Peers' range of maternity styles, too.
20. Polly Bow Knit Cardigan – KITRI
Novelty knitwear is one present idea for your wife, but may we suggest gifting her something slightly more chic that’ll see her through the festive season and beyond? This cutesy cardigan from KITRI features covered buttons, contrasting ivory-coloured bows and ribbed sleeves that keep this from veering into frumpy territory. We love the sultry burgundy colour, too.
Expert take: This cardi offers a relaxed fit and would look great paired with denim or her favourite midi dress – perfect for those chilled-out days in between the partying.
21. Cacao Gin (500ml) – Hotel Chocolat
If a G&T is her tipple of choice, she may well have tried a number of different varieties of gin – but how about cacao gin? If there’s anyone who knows anything about combining the two, it’s Hotel Chocolat, and according to them, this is a match made in heaven. Serve short and punchy with a twist of orange.
Expert take: If she really is something of a gin-thusiast, how about turning this stocking stuffer into a more elaborate gift with a new set of gin glasses, some mixers – and maybe even a cocktail shaker?
22. Turquoise Satin Maxi Dress – & Other Stories
For a Christmas gift that will see her through party season and every occasion to dress up thereafter, this gorgeous satin maxi dress from & Other Stories is perfect for a modern evening look. The ultimate party piece.
Expert take: This dress features the most beautiful waterfall fold at the back exposing below the bra line – just make sure you know whether or not your wife is happy to forgo a bra on occasion before you add to basket!
23. Beauty Pie Subscription – Beauty Pie
If she knows her stuff when it comes to skincare and makeup, a Beauty Pie subscription will bring her joy all year long. This game-changing service essentially gives subscribers access to premium beauty products and high-end formulations – many of which have gained cult status – at heavily discounted prices.
Expert take: This makes a great Christmas present for your wife – not only will she get access to insider prices but also to special members-only products and free delivery on certain orders. There’s also no limit on how many products she can purchase.
24. Stargazer Cluster Bracelet – Amelia Scott
For the wife who covets colourful and quirky jewellery, head to Amelia Scott, whose love of vintage design, colour and sparkle has seen her create some truly beautiful collections. The Celeste cluster bracelet features a dazzling array of lab-grown cubic zirconia and hand-painted blush pink enamel charms.
Expert take: This comes beautifully presented in a vintage-style, emerald-green velvet gift box for effortless gifting.
25. Experience Gift Box – Tinggly
If you've been married for a while (and you find yourself searching Christmas present ideas for your wife year after year), chances are you have swapped a lot of gifts, so why not buy an experience instead?
Tinggly boxes are a little different to the usual experience gifts in that you don't have to be the one to choose what the experience is – you simply purchase the box, choose the price range to suit your budget and your wife can choose from hundreds of different activities and experiences to enjoy.
Expert tip: Planning a trip? You'll find Tinggly experiences from all over the world listed in your gift box, which means you can even enjoy your experience gift as part of a holiday. Greek food walking tour in Athens, anyone?
What is the Best Christmas Present for my Wife?
Christmas is a romantic time of year so if your wife loves sentimental gifts, it’s the perfect season to give her something meaningful. Jewellery and personalised gifts are a popular and well-received gift idea, or for a gift that keeps on giving throughout the year, how about a subscription box or experience gift of some kind?
When choosing the perfect gift for your wife, consider her interests and hobbies, or pick a present that you know she would love but wouldn’t typically treat herself to, such as a pair of luxury socks or some bougie beauty products.
“The best Christmas present for your wife is something you know she’ll adore but wouldn’t necessarily buy for herself,” agrees Zoe Burke, wedding expert and editor of Hitched. “Listen to what she talks about in the run up to Christmas – I guarantee she’ll be trying to drop a hint or two.
“Or, if you’re really stuck, treat her to an experience you can share together.”
How Many Christmas Presents Should I Get for my Wife?
How many Christmas presents you buy for your wife will depend on your budget – there’s no right answer here. However, between one and five is usually a good rule of thumb; you might want to gift her a few smaller items to open or just pop one really special present under the tree.
