Christmas is a romantic time of year so if your wife loves the sentimental stuff, it is the perfect season to gift her a present that is thoughtful and sentimental.

"The best Christmas present for your wife is something special she'll adore, but wouldn't necessarily buy for herself," says Zoe Burke, wedding expert and Editor of Hitched. "Listen to what she talks about in the run up to Christmas as I guarantee you she'll drop a hint or two. You can't go wrong going by listening carefully. If you're really stuck, treat her to an experience you can share together."

How many Christmas presents you buy for your wife will depend on your budget, but between one to five is typically a good rule of thumb. You might want to gift her a few smaller items to open or pop just one truly special present under the tree.
