The Best Xmas Gifts for Your Wife
Christmas is a time for celebration, but the festivities and gifts aren't just for kids. Your wife works works hard throughout the year to care for you and any children or pets you may have. Christmas is another opportunity to show her how much you appreciate her as a woman and as your spouse.

Trip
-
Over 60 percent of women would rather have travel than any other gift, according to the marketing website Frank About Women. Travel affords women an escape from the daily grind of work and household tasks. Plan a trip either across the world or a weekend weekend getaway across town. Take care of the reservations and research yourself, or hire someone to do it for you if logistics aren't your strength. Either way, your wife can just relax and enjoy her trip.
Photography Session
-
A Christmas photography session is a great gift if you have children or pets. If you have children, arrange for the photography session before Christmas, dress the kids up in holiday clothing and give your wife a framed print on Christmas day. Photographers' styles vary significantly, so show your wife a few online galleries and say a coworker is trying to decide before scheduling the session.

Certificate of Tasks
-
A task certificate is an inexpensive but meaningful gift that any wife will love. Give her a card with several certificates promising to do tasks that she normally performs, such as three loads of laundry or two trips to the supermarket. Choose tasks that you can actually perform well on your own; otherwise you're just making more work for her.
A Night Alone
-
Especially if your wife has children, she probably doesn't get much alone time. Give her a certificate for a night of peace by herself. Wrap up a her a few candles and bath salts and make the bathroom spotless. Take the kids out to dinner or the playground for a few hours and let your wife enjoy the peace and quiet of a spa bath at home by herself.
