A gift guide for every style & budget

Finding the perfect Christmas present for your wife can feel like pressure, because after all, you want something that truly shows how much she means to you. The good news is that there are plenty of thoughtful, meaningful, and beautifully made gifts available here at David Shuttle that will make her feel cherished on Christmas morning. And, whether she loves jewellery, festive ornaments, cosy homeware, or delicious treats, this guide will help you choose a gift that fits her style and your budget

How much should you spend on your wife for Christmas?

There’s no fixed rule when it comes to how much to spend on a gift for your wife; the “right” amount depends on your household budget, your traditions, and what feels meaningful. Some couples exchange small, heartfelt gifts, whereas others go all-out once a year. Most importantly, the gift should feel thoughtful and chosen with her tastes in mind.

This guide includes luxury options, mid-range favourites, and affordable-but-beautiful pieces to suit every spending level.
