Let her know how much you care with that special something she’ll love.

Finding that perfect gift for the number one lady in your life is no easy feat. After all, she makes sure everyone around her is taken care of every single day year-round, so you want to show her that love back in spades on her special day.

We've taken time to create a list of the most thoughtful, unexpected gifts she'll flip for, whether you're working with a small budget or looking to splurge on something a little more spendy. And if you're a bit of a procrastinator, no sweat. Many of these gifts can be ordered on Amazon, so you can score speedy Prime shipping, and she'll be none the wiser.

There are plenty of picks straight from Oprah's Favorite Things, too, so she can enjoy the love and luxury she deserves as she celebrates another year around the sun. From a comfy and stylish new pair of pj's she'll want to wear every single night to an adorably perfect heart-shaped pot from Le Creuset for the trusty home chef in your family, we don't blame you if you snag more than one item from the list. And trust us, she'll be so glad you did!

After you've written the perfect card and surprised her with her favorite goodies (flowers, baked goods, and balloons are always a solid move!), top it all off with the perfect gift your wife will cherish forever. Without further ado, keep scrolling to check out our top picks.

This unique gift will bring the biggest smile to her face while reminding her of a bygone era. You'll choose the snapshots and send 'em in, getting back a special gift she's sure to cherish for years to come.

Surprise her with something she'll truly never expect thanks to this digital messenger that can send notes, photos, images, and animations to her anytime right from your phone. The heart on the box spins when she has new content to look at, so you can let her know you're thinking of her anytime, anyplace.

Featured on Oprah's Favorite Things 2018, she'll never want to step out of this cozy, classic pajama set, which comes in a bevy of beautiful colors and can be monogrammed for a personal touch. She can wear them comfortably year-round thanks to Tencel Modal, a sustainable fabric that boasts built-in temperature regulation and an easy, relaxed fit in sizes XS through XL.

For the jetsetter, surprise her with this beautiful (and budget-friendly!) jewelry organizer made for traveling. Available in nine sophisticated velvet hues, this zip case includes seven slot rolls, three rectangular compartments, and a separate space to keep earrings stowed safely. Never again will she reach into her bag and find a tangled mess of jewelry or a missing bauble.

If she's the one who whips up every meal with love, she'll especially appreciate this adorable heart-shaped cast-iron pot, which comes in either red or black. It'll last for years and years thanks to a stain- and chip-resistant enameled finish, cooking food evenly and reminding her daily how much you L-O-V-E her.

Rather than getting her birthstone jewelry, opt for this elegant necklace that's handmade by a mother-daughter duo based in Colombia. Instead of a gem, each heart-shaped pendant is filled with dried flowers corresponding to her birth month, making for a truly one-of-a-kind gift that she'll undoubtedly love and appreciate.

If she's been wearing the same tired slippers for years, it's time to treat her to an upgrade. This stylish, ultra-soft features cushy memory foam and rubber soles, so she'll feel like she's walking on clouds. A bevy of beautiful colors lets you find the pair (or two!) that suits her unique personality.

Everyone loves a gorgeously scented candle, and you can't go wrong with any scent by Jonathan Adler. She's bound to love this light grapefruit scent, which comes housed in a pretty yellow glass jar and burns for a whopping 40 hours.

These elegant, heart-shaped studs come in a slew of unexpected color options (including green, blue, pink, and more classic shades) with a fun spade-shaped backing that she'll reach for every single day.

Every wardrobe needs the perfect pair of joggers, and she'll love this buttery soft, ultra-luxe bamboo pair, which comes in black, navy, charcoal, light gray, or ivory and sizes XS to XXXL.

Featured on Oprah's Favorite Things 2022, this cashmere travel wrap is an obvious choice to combat chilly offices, airplanes, or drafty rooms. As Oprah herself put it: "You can't go wrong giving the gift of cashmere. This versatile design can be a scarf, a wrap, or even a travel blanket. Plus, the stripes give it some oomph. It's hard to choose a fave color combo—they’re all so great."

If she's been using the same coffee maker since college, it's more than time for an upgrade, don't you think? This high-tech, all-in-one system looks super sophisticated, but it makes whipping up barista-level lattes, cappuccinos, and basic cups an absolute breeze—and she'll be thanking you when she can skip the drive-thru for her perfect morning bev.

You can't let her hot beverage run cold, so if she's always sipping on lukewarm, hours-old coffee, she'll surely appreciate this smart heated 14 ounce mug, which connects via app and keeps her drink at her preferred temperature (between 120°F - 145°F) for up to 80 minutes on a full charge or all day on its included charging coaster.

Give her some much-deserved me time and draw a bath featuring this pick from Oprah's Favorite Things 2022. Oprah loves the trio of lush scents and the gorgeous glass bottles, which makes this bubble bath feel truly special. She'll especially appreciate the ability to soak away her cares and enjoy whichever scent you choose.

After she's enjoyed a little TLC in the tub, grab yet another Oprah-approved pick and allow her to show her skin some love. This sugar scrub in a tantalizing eucalyptus scent includes a sponge, so she can give herself a mini at-home spa moment and step out with soft, smooth skin when she's done. An added bonus: The formula has minimal ingredients, so it's safe for even the most sensitive of skin types.

Give her a break from her half-used, years-old drugstore body lotion and treat her to the four ultra-rich moisturizing body butters that Oprah calls "decadently creamy." As she put it: "They’re so easy to apply and contain shea butter, cocoa butter, and royal jelly to hydrate, strengthen, and protect skin—including extra-rough spots."

A solid night's rest is crucial, which is why Oprah loves this silk weighted eye pillow from a company that's co-owned by Venus Williams. "It blocks light and is filled with lavender to help you relax," says Oprah. "Adjust the strap for fit, remove the inner pouch if you want to make it lighter, or slide in the included gel mask (store it in the freezer) to de-puff your eye area."

When it comes to romance, you can't go wrong with flowers and candles, but when you want something that will truly last, look no further than this gift set, which includes two mini flower boxes and a votive candle. Customize it to her liking by way of six flower/color options and three types of votive candles, and she'll be touched when she learns that these eternity flowers will last a year or more.

After you've snagged her a gift card to her go-to salon, click 'add to cart' on this set of six full-size nail polishes in sophisticated, classic neutral, rose-inspired hues. The allergy-friendly formula makes 'em safe for sensitive skin types, and she'll love rotating between each shade whether she's treating herself to a spa day or giving herself an at-home mani.

If you procrastinated and are now running out of time, all hope is not lost. Our overall favorite flower delivery service charges a flat $15 delivery fee even for last-minute shoppers, but if you spend $120 or more, you'll snag free shipping. And the bouquet options are truly endless, so you can choose vibrant pink peonies, an elegant red rose bouquet, or a stunning vase of flowers in assorted colors and types, like the Juliet pictured here.
