Our favorite gift ideas for your wife that she'll actually use and love


You've been fighting off Amazon boxes all year long and it feels like your wife already has everything, right? I hear it all the time from my own husband that I am difficult to shop for. Pro tip: Put down the overly-scented bath set at your nearby Bath & Body Works; this holiday season (with my expertise and help), you can gift her things she won't just use everyday, but will actually also love.

The USA Today Shopping team has compiled some of the top gift options this holiday season for the wife who has everything. Try a soft, cozy pair of pajamas that won't break the bank, but will be an instant favorite. Or, splurge on her—because she won't do it for herself—and try this Charlotte Tilbury makeup kit that has over $500 worth of full-sized products.
