Whether it's a romantic gift for Valentine's Day, a Hannukkah or Christmas gift she's been coveting for months, or a birthday gift or anniversary gift that she instantly dubs "the best gift I've ever received," there is one thing that all these great gifts share in common: They came from you.

Finding the best gifts for your wife all starts with thinking thoughtfully about the leading lady in your life. Pinpointing the perfect gift shouldn't be a stretch as long as you've done your research. What are her hobbies? What gets her excited? What problem has she mentioned recently that could be solved with a practical gift? Sometimes the best gift is simply showing that you're paying attention.

If you need a little inspiration to get the shopping juices flowing in your search for a thoughtful gift, we've got you covered. Take your time in scrolling this versatile list of this year's best gifts for wives that will further convince her that she married The One.

Ember is an app-controlled coffee mug that maintains its temperature for up to 80 minutes when it's fully charged or can stay hot all day when placed on the smart coaster.
