She'll love this large, two-wick version from Yankee Candle, with its deep pink color, hand-illustrated label and silver lid which fits perfectly underneath the base as a candle coaster. It has a smooth, soy wax blend for a clean, consistent burn and a fruity fragrance of red berries and peach nectar which gives way to a deeper rose, white musk and sandalwood.

Somerset's Babington House is hands-down one of the most idyllic <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/travel/best-spa-breaks-in-the-uk-76287/" data-link-merchant="womanandhome.com"" data-link-merchant="SkimLinks - cowshed.com"">places for a spa break in the UK. If you can't quite manage that, a box of Cowshed goodies is the next best thing. 

The products have evolved from the original Cowshed spa, first opened at Babington House in 1998. There are now Cowshed spas at Soho House locations around the world including Miami and Amsterdam, but you don't have to be a member to indulge in the divinely-scented treats in your own bathroom. This set of two huge 300ml bottles makes a great Christmas gift, both packed with soothing Madagascan Ylang Ylang, Moroccan Rose and Indian Palmarosa essential oils. The set includes a Bath & Shower Gel and a Body Lotion and both are 100% vegetarian with no parabens, mineral oils or silicones. Just don't expect her to be speedy in the shower with these to enjoy.

HOW TO CHOOSE GIFTS YOUR WIFE WILL LOVE

Let her know how special she is this Christmas by really considering the things she loves or enjoys doing, whether she adores nights out dancing with the girls or prefers snuggling at home with the dog. Think of presents that might make her favorite hobby easier or even more enjoyable or upgrade something she already has such as switching much loved lounging clothes to cashmere or a worn-out handbag to a designer name.

Most of all, try choose presents she would never think to buy herself as she would consider them too indulgent, pricey or impractical. From high-end bath products to luxe gym gear, all will feel like a treat every time she uses them. Personalized items will also always go down a storm and show you've given a little extra thought to her gift this year. Monogrammed stationery, embroidered clothing items or jewelry with a special meaning are all Christmas morning winners.
