When it comes time to get your wife a gift, finding the perfect one can be tough. Well, shopping for women, in general, can be tricky. You want your gift to say “I love you,” “I hear you,” and “I know what you like” all in one item, and it can be overwhelming searching for just the right one. Here are some ideas of places to shop for your wife that will sure to be successful, whether it’s for an anniversary, birthday, holiday, or no particular reason at all.
Jewelry stores
What woman doesn’t like jewelry? Choose from earrings or other piercing jewelry, necklaces, rings, bracelets, anklets, or even tiaras – the list goes on. It helps to know what kind of style your wife likes before you go store to store looking for the right pieces. Does she like long, dangly jewelry, or something a bit more low-key or understated? Does she like ornate, intricate designs, or minimalist pieces? Is she a fan of gold or silver, or maybe a different option altogether? There are a few secrets to buying the right jewelry, but the key to picking out the perfect gift is choosing what she loves and will wear, rather than what you think is pretty.
Clothing stores
There’s no such thing as too many clothes, especially for the ladies. Before you start shopping, you need to figure out what size she fits in for tops and bottoms, and what her brand preferences and style preferences are. Remember, you’re not buying clothing you want to see her in, you’re buying her clothing she would wear and probably wouldn’t buy for herself, while still choosing something trendy.
Consider what skirt length she wears, how casual or fancy she dresses, and what colors she prefers. Think about any hints she’s dropped if you’ve passed by a storefront recently because chances are; she has pointed to an item in the window and exclaimed, “I love this!” You just need to remember what it was or what store it was from. Doing your homework will help you find the perfect trendy plus size clothes to surprise her with.
Stores that add personalization
Getting a personalized gift is a heart-warming experience because it shows your giftee took the extra bit of time to customize something just for you. There are lots of stores that will add a tag with a personalized note when you purchase an item as a gift, but you can do better than that. You can find something for your wife that was made just for her with only her in mind, and with so many choices, you can’t go wrong.
Build-A-Bear Workshop is an adorable gift that’s customized from start to finish, where you could even recreate your wife as a cuddly teddy bear (if you think that’s what she would appreciate). Another fully customizable and fun gift idea is to put your favorite photo of yourselves on a mug, poster, or t-shirt. For a more practical gift, get a photo frame or necklace engraved with her name or a short inscription honoring a special date.
No matter what gift you get for your wife, she probably will recognize it’s the thought that counts and she’ll love you for it regardless, but why take the risk of getting her a present she won’t wear or use? With these tips, you will be sure to find the perfect present she will remember forever.
As a dad and as a man, I want to look good, not only for myself, but for my family and so that my girls can see that I take pride in how I look and so should they. This has been a bit of a reversal over the years as for many years I had the same clothes that I had been wearing for years, and I kept these clothes as long as I could to make sure that I did not have to spend my money unwisely. Now I see the error of my ways and look for clothes that are of high quality construction and that will last for a long time, but also will maintain the look that I want to maintain for a long time.
