Depending on the season in which your wife was born, this long down jacket from Spyder is the ultimate birthday, Christmas or anniversary gift. After trying on a sample, we were instantly toasty without feeling weighty and we didn’t look like the Michelin man either! We loved the clever two-tone design – a mix of army green and gray.
This jacket features pockets aplenty. There are patch pockets in front, along with zippered side pockets too. Two zippered chest pockets are great to safely stow her smartphone and keys, plus there’s another inside chest pocket that also zips up. The sleeves on this winter warmer are adjustable thanks to pull cords, and they feature something we love – that stretchy inner cuff with a thumbhole which means her gloves will slip right over it and won’t be impeded by a tight-fitting sleeve.
This jacket goes nearly down to the knees, so when snow and wind are howling, she’ll be well protected. We also love the weather fighting hood that can be snugged up to keep out the cold.

Good for her, and good for the environment. Naturally, we’d love you to give your wife a brand new bed on a tropical beach, but in this instance, we’re merely suggesting gifts for your wife with a bit more practical thought in mind – her comfort and good rest. That’s why we think she’d be delighted to receive this set of luxury resort-quality bamboo sheets for her birthday.
First, she’ll love that these sheets are eco-friendly because they’re made with bamboo fiber, and bamboo is the fastest growing plant on the planet.

In fact, these wonder sheets will let her sleep three degrees cooler at night, and if she’s someone who sleeps hot, this is huge. Not all cooling sheets are created equal, but these are at the top of our list of faves.

Is your wife a bit of a germaphobe? With this touchless trash can, she’ll never need to touch a dirty lid again. An infrared sensor opens the lid automatically when she gets close to the can. The lid will remain open if debris or hand remains within the range of the infrared sensor. Three seconds after your hand moves away from the lid, it closes automatically.
This can is also a coveted gift for women who love to cook and frequently need to access the trash when their hands are covered in flour, meat juice, or egg whites. The can runs on batteries, and you can expect to change the batteries about twice a year. Does this seem like a traditionally romantic gift? Definitely not. But is it a romantic birthday gift for your wife if she REALLY hates her current trash can.
Sometimes romance is about flowers and chocolate, but real, lasting romance is about anticipating the everyday needs of your woman, and not just throwing diamonds her way (also a great idea) once a year.

Whether your wife likes her coffee steaming hot or icy cold, the Keurig K-Supreme Coffee Maker is going to deliver a perfectly brewed cup or tasty glass every time. This machine has multiple personalities in the very best way. With a touch of a button, she can brew her morning cup of Joe, steaming hot water for her tea or instant oats, or iced coffee to kick up her afternoon.
This machine is practically foolproof for the person who counts coffee as one of their main food groups. When we tested this machine out, it was intuitive, super easy to use, and great for making different strength coffees for different palates. The strong brew button amps things up a notch and works especially great for the iced coffee function. Dual stream technology extracts maximum flavor, making every cup her best cup. It offers four cup sizes with simple button controls on the top, so mom can use her favorite mug without worry.
With an easy to remove reservoir that holds 66 ounces of water, your sweetie can brew a fresh cup in less than a minute, and there’ll be plenty of water left for anyone else who wants one. Better yet, up to three people can select their favorite settings to brew a custom cup which means you’ll likely be among them. Another huge improvement with this new Keurig model is the handle on the reservoir which makes it super easy to remove and refill.
What’s even smarter about this cool unit is the ability to switch the reservoir’s position from the side to the back if she wants a narrower counter profile. Better yet, this machine is practically self-cleaning. Okay, it’s called de-scaling, but we like our description better. This gets rid of mineral build-up from your water to keep the machine brewing perfectly over the long term.
For an even larger model, the Keurig K-Elite is programmable, so she can set it to turn on and be ready to brew as soon as she’s up. It has a whopping 75 ounce reservoir and adjustable temperature control. And did we mention they’re both designed to look great with black and brushed metal finishes that are great in any modern kitchen, blending well with white, stainless, and black appliances? Naturally, both will work with all Keurig K-cups as well as other brands too. Good news – this brewer comes with 24 K-cup pods, so it’s ready to go as soon as she is.

If your wife is absolutely passionate about wine, we know she doesn’t want to waste a single drop from an expensive bottle. That’s what makes the Coravin Model Six wine opening system an ideal gift for her. It lets her pour a glass of wine from any bottle, without ever pulling the cork, so she can enjoy a special glass, without compromising an entire bottle
A special needle punctures the cork, allowing wine to escape without causing permanent cork damage. After removing the needle, the cork essentially re-seals, thus preserving the wine for longer. Argon gas, an inert gas used in the wine-making process, also helps to protect the remaining wine from oxidation so it’ll taste as good, each time she taps into it.
Add to her experience with some exceptional Reidel wine glasses that allow for perfect aeration and enjoyment of her favorites, whether red or white.
