15+ Christmas Gift Ideas for Your Wife

Posted by Unknown | Labels: , ,

It’s that time of the year again, where we get to try and find the perfect gift for the ones we love! Last year I did 245+ Christmas Gift Ideas for Your Husband and this year I want to focus on gifts for the wives.
A lot of wives tend to ask for gifts that they need instead of what they want. This year, instead of getting the love of your life something she might just need, get her something she really wants!

Find the Perfect Christmas Gift Ideas for Your Wife Here:

Christmas Gift Ideas for Your Wife
1. A Beautiful Pearl Necklace – This year, get your wife a beautiful pearl necklace, something almost every woman would love to have. She may not have asked for one, but I’d be willing to bet she’d love a pair. One of our readers says: “Some pearls would be nice but I asked for a new vacuum…” – Samantha.
2. A Rhythm Clock – This idea comes right from one of our readers. These clocks are absolutely gorgeous and definitely a unique gift, sure to delight your wife! Christina says, “I fell in love with these type of clocks when I first saw them. They are mesmerizing.”

3. Anything Chevron – Chevron is IN and buying something in this pattern most likely means you can’t go wrong! Try one of these items to start with: Pink Chevron Pillow Case or A Chevron Laptop Bag.
4. A Flirty Apron – I am a huge fan of these aprons. I have wanted one for awhile (hint hint husband), and I love that there is a style for everyone. They are cute, flirty, and fun!
5. Corningware Bake Set – Does your wife like to cook or bake? These are the perfect gift this Christmas! How do I know? Because they were gifted to me and I LOVE them!
6. AlphabetPIX Art – Easy, yet very detailed word art. You could get your wife’s name or “I love you.” Very sweet and personalized gift. Check it out today!
7. Hot Cold Lavender Eye Mask Pillow – Does your wife need some stress relief? This is the perfect and unique gift to show her that you care. Give her this gift and also some time to use it!
8. A Diamond – Looking to buy your wife diamond jewelry? Try Blue Nile! Beautiful and unique diamond jewelry, perfect enough for any woman.
9. An Origami Owl Necklace – If your wife doesn’t have one of these already, this gift is a definite MUST! It’s a charm necklace that is personalized. Giving your wife this gift, will show her that you know her better than anyone else by the charms that you choose.
10. Pewter Heart – Melt your wife’s heart with this unique and personalized pewter heart to hang on your wall. She’ll hold it near and dear to her heart for years to come.
11. Essential Oils – Essential Oils are all the rage right now. While there are many to choose from, a few simple oils or a few oil kits will most likely make your wife very happy.
12. BOOKS – For the most part you really can’t go wrong with books. A lot of women like to read, it’s just knowing what kind of books your wife likes! Here are a fews suggestions to get you started: The Complete C. S. Lewis Signature Classics, You’re Already Amazing: Embracing Who You Are…, Women of Courage: 31 Daily Devotional Bible Readings, Happy Wives Club.
13. A Mom Vacation – This isn’t a tangible item, but it’s something your wife (if she’s a mother) will LOVE. This Christmas give her the gift of 24 hours away. See tips here: Moms on Vacation: Pure Bliss for 24 Hours.
14. A Cleaning Service – Your wife works hard. Give her the month off, by getting a cleaning service to come clean the house once or twice. This really is the ultimate gift for those hard-working moms out there!
15. Gift Cards – While this is not a unique gift, it can be special. There are some gift cards that are just a must!
  • Gift card for a Massage – Let her get away and relax to an hour massage away from home.
  • Spa Package – Does your wife love beauty treatments? Send her to the spa with a nice spa gift card!
  • Target Gift Card – What wife doesn’t like Target??
  • Starbucks Gift Card – Every wife needs a little coffee. Whether it’s to keep her going during the day or to use with friends, she’ll love that you thought of her in this way!

Traditional Christmas Gift Ideas for Your Wife with a Twist

Posted by Unknown | Labels: ,

Traditional Christmas gifts for a wife or girlfriend tend to include one, some or all of the following: chocolates, flowers, toiletries and jewellery. Rather than dismissing these ideas completely because they’ve been done many times before, take some time to consider the following – the reason that these are typical Christmas gift ideas for a wife or girlfriend is because these are generally things that women like to receive. We do have to concede, however, that it can come across as less thoughtful or too easy to buy the same combination of presents year after year. 
This is why we’ve come up with some innovative gifts based on traditional ideas. Rather than a basic box of chocolates, our Name a Box of Chocolates personalised selection is a thoughtful twist on an old favourite. You choose your own unique combination of ten chocolates from a choice of 40 luxury flavours (or let her choose her own if you’re not confident). This combination will then be registered under her name on the Chocolate Foundation database so she can have all her favourite chocolates named after her. You will also get chocolate recipes, a ‘Chocolate Heaven’ book and a bar of Organic Chocolate Soap as part of this gift, as well as much more.

Find great deals on eBay for Gifts for Her in Other Celebrations & Occasions. Check out all the latest eBay coupon codes, eBay redemption codes & discounts for 2015

Continuing with chocolate-themed Christmas present ideas for your girlfriend, she may prefer to take part in her very own Chocolate Making lessons. This course of ten bite-sized lessons comes complete with a journal to record progress and a test paper or online activation code to obtain a Master the Art of… Diploma at the end. We also have a Silicone Heart Chocolate Mould which goes nicely with this present, allowing her to put her knowledge into practice by making up to 16 chocolates at a time with this easy to use and clean mould.
If your wife or girlfriend loves to receive flowers, then she’ll love our jewellery items which contain real freshly picked flowers inside, and will combine the traditional gift of jewellery too. We have a range of items available including pendants, bracelets, earrings and bangles featuring different flowers so you should be able to find her favourite easily. You can combine different items to make a matching set, making these perfect Christmas gift for wife or girlfriend who enjoys the beauty of flowers, and what’s more, they won’t have to be thrown out after a week!
Other floral Christmas present ideas for your girlfriend include the Flowers Photo Frame in brushed aluminium featuring a row of flowers across the bottom. Add a print of the two of you together to make this gift extra special. We also love the Personalised iPhone Cases in a flower design, suitable for the iPhone 3GS or 4. This funky flower designed case will protect her phone and can have her name added to it too. To make this gift even more personal, check out our Personalised Photo iPhone Cases, to which you can add your own photo too.

Christmas gifts for men & eBay coupon codes

Posted by Unknown | Labels:

Men’s grooming gifts have improved vastly in recent years. Those novelty beard-care kits, naff Victoriana shaving stands and moisturisers got up to look like engine parts still linger, but there’s a great deal more wheat than chaff. Less desperate-seeming gifts abound, and he needn’t be a dedicated groomer to appreciate them. Hugely practical is the Bearded Colonel razor subscription service: just sign him up (from £3.33-£10 a month), and thereafter he’ll receive a razor and regular postal top-ups of barbershop-quality German blades.
Rare Superman Pocket Watch Vintage Xmas Present Gifts For Him Men Grandad Father

There’s no more practical and indispensable a grooming tool than Muji’s brilliantnail clippers (£3.95 and £5.50, for fingers and toes, respectively). I’m never without two sets of these ultra-sharp, strong and gentle clippers, which work so neatly and precisely that files, emery boards and scissors are instantly redundant. While you’re there, the plain black Muji hanging washbag (£6.95) is endlessly useful for the well-travelled man in your life.
Find great deals, eBay coupon codes on eBay for Christmas Gifts for Him in Other Celebrations & Occasions. Shop with confidence
Men are statistically unlikely to take baths, but there’s no reason showering can’t be a little more luxurious with some posh body washes. Korres has a dedicated men’s line, but in my experience, everyone – male and female – loves their unisex shower gels (£8), currently in a superb pre-Christmas BOGOF deal on lookfantastic.com.
If your loved one has refined tastes, he might love Kiehl’s huge, special-edition pot of its popular Ultra Facial Cream (£43.50), designed by Tinie Tempah (I have no idea how this man is not the face of a major skincare brand: his complexion makes me weep) in support of the MTV Aids charity, which will receive £2 from each sale. If that’s over budget, Liz Earle’s Men’s Shave Duo (£16) has a full-size tube of Earle’s excellent shave cream and a travel-size moisturiser.


Sonic cleansing brushes have been big news in beauty for some time, but it’s Clinique who have made them a big male grooming story. I’ve handed out three of their men’s Sonic System Deep Cleansing Brushes (£79) for testing, and each recipient has soon made it clear that I’m not to expect it back. Used in conjunction with a face wash, it vibrates similarly to a sonic toothbrush to more thoroughly remove dirt and spot-causing bacteria. If you’re pushing the boat out, and your loved one is gadgety by nature, it’s a reliable hit.

Before pouring the melted wax, adjust the candle wick in the middle of jar with the help of a rod or stick. Let the melted wax cool down and set for one day.
Take out your candle out of the jar and your great Christmas gift is ready to spread its light and love.

Gift a plant that lasts long
Fabric painting is a cool gift idea
A self painted pillow, cushion cover or T-shirt would be a nice thought for homemade Christmas gift. All you need a fabric, fabric paints and brushes. Fabric painting will represent your affection and care for your loved one. This art opens up endless opportunities to play with the brushes.
For fabric painting, you will require cotton or cotton mixed polyester fabric. Write a Christmas saying or message on the fabric. Paint it with your chosen fabric colors with the help of brushes.

You can transplant a pre grown plant at home or can grow them by seed to gift it to your friend as a Christmas gift. If your friend is a health freak, you can gift him an self grown herbal plant.

Special fragrance for special ones
Homemade fragrance instead of market bought perfume would make your friend feel special. The recipe of homemade perfumes is simple. It is a special Christmas gift for special ones.
You can create your own perfume for Christmas gift with the help of essential oils. First of all, choose carrier oil that has no color and fragrance of its own such as sweet almond oil or jojoba oil. You have to add essential oil or fragrance oils to this carrier oil in a ratio of 20:80. If you have 80 drops of jojoba oil then 20 drops of your favorite fragrance oils has to be added.
Take three kind of essential oils as per your preference. You have to add the three essential oils in a particular order such as firstly 10 drops of base note (sandalwood ), 5 drops of middle note (lemon grass) and last the 5 drops of top notes (rose, jasmine). Now, add around 6 tablespoons of full grain alcohol or good quality vodka to the previous mixed oils. Shake the bottle well. All this oil mixing should be done in a dark, dry bottle. Keep the bottle in a dark place for one to three weeks. Transfer you homemade perfume for Christmas in a decorative bottle to gift it to your loved one.
Homemade food for far living family members
Everyone loves receiving homemade food on Christmas. It could be jam, pickle or Christmas cake, cookies, anything that you have made with love. This is a gift that can make your son or daughter feel alive on Christmas. If you are a daughter or son, you can surprise your mother with your baking or cooking expertise. This would be a best gift for mother on Christmas.
No doubt, homemade products make great Christmas gifts. They are natural as well as inexpensive. Making your own gift is a novel idea that the receiver will surely appreciate.
