Traditional Christmas Gift Ideas for Your Wife with a Twist

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.

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.
