9. Moicha Ceremonial Matcha Tea Set – Anthropologie
Is your wife as obsessed with matcha as we are? Blank Street has nothing on this gorgeous ceremonial matcha tea set from Moicha at Anthropologie.

Who doesn’t appreciate new loungewear? Featuring the prettiest lace trims and gorgeous print, this super-soft midi-length dressing gown from Laura Ashley is sure to become an evening staple – and perhaps even a daytime one, too. There is also matching pyjamas… (just saying).
11. The Liberty x Henrietta Bouquet – Bloom & Wild
For the wife who really does have everything, sometimes a beautiful bouquet of flowers says it best for an anniversary or birthday.
Our pick would always be the statement designs from Bloom & Wild – the jewel-toned Liberty Henrietta features 34 stems of roses, alstroemeria, chrysanthemums, cordylines and eucalyptus, all dressed in a limited-edition Liberty print floral wrap.
12. Spa Restore Wellness Basket Gift Set – The White Company
If she’s too busy to pencil in any professional treatments, surprising her with an at-home spa gift is a great way to help her enjoy some much-deserved downtime from the comfort of her own bathroom.

13. Japanese Pedicure – SWANKY
London is awash with gorgeous salons and spas to treat your love to, and Swanky – which has three outposts across the capital – is up there as one of our favourites. This pocket of calm is everything you want from a beauty salon in the city; vibrant, warm and perfect for people-watching, with supremely comfortable sink-in chairs and staff that are kind and accommodating.
The team at Swanky are also particularly picky about the products they use – think non-toxic nail polishes and homemade Himalayan salt scrubs for a cleaner take on beauty and wellbeing. Book her in for a Japanese pedicure and thank us later.

Looking for a gift for your wife that’s both thoughtful and unique? This handmade ring from Le Mela is created with your input – you’ll be sent a wax version of the design which you can either imprint with your own fingerprint or that of a child or pet. So cute.
19. Scarlet Poppy Cologne Intense (100ml) – Jo Malone London
If there’s one gift that always wins over even the hardest of wives to buy for, it’s a Jo Malone fragrance. A bottle from one of this iconic perfume house’s shiny shelves is as effortless giftable as it gets. Our current favourite? The Scarlet Poppy Cologne Intense with its rich floral notes and warming vanilla-meets-tobacco Tonka Bean base.
20. Velvetiser – Hotel Chocolat

How much should I budget for a gift for my wife on our wedding anniversary?
How much you should spend all comes down to your personal budget – there are no set rules when comes to buying anniversary gifts for your wife.
Anything between £50-£100 is more than acceptable, though gifts that cost less than that are absolutely fine too, particularly if they’re homemade or especially meaningful in some way. Focus less on the price tag and more on their meaning and whether or not they reflect your wife’s personality and taste.
Are experiences good gifts for my wife?
Experience gifts are a great option for anniversaries, birthdays, Valentine’s gifts and more – think spa days, beauty treatments, foodie experiences or even more thrilling ideas such as a parachute jump or hot air balloon ride.
What are good gifts for a pregnant wife?
Pregnancy is a unique time when your wife will be experiencing a lot of physical and emotional changes, so choose gifts that are thoughtful, comforting and practical. Options like a spa break, maternity pillow or pregnancy-friendly body care will make her feel valued and appreciated.
How to choose a meaningful gift for a wife?
Our fool-proof tip? Listen to her and take note of what she really likes. Pay attention to the things she admires and talks about, and you’re sure to find the best gift. Consider self-care items she might not usually treat herself to, like pyjamas, luxury bath products or foodie gifts. If you’re still unsure, personalised items such as jewellery or experiences will always feel meaningful.
