Ladies and Gentlemen, mark your calendars. Sunday, September 16 is Wife Appreciation Day, a time to show how much you truly honor and cherish your other half by celebrating her. Surely, you treat your wife like a queen every day (right?), but holidays like this one are a great time to really pull out the stops and surprise her with some extra attention and care.
Depending on her personality and lifestyle, she may appreciate certain gestures more than others. Here are five different ideas to ruminate on as you decide how to celebrate.
Gift some bling
Jewelry is an amazing symbol of your love—it’s a visual reminder that she can wear and look at throughout the day. A really fun trend that’s endured for some time now is stacking rings. She can stack them with her wedding band and engagement ring or on another finger. Each ring can symbolize a special memory or holiday—a birth of a child, Valentine’s Day, Wife Appreciation Day and so on. (Check out Robbins Brothers’ popular Stacked collection for ideas.)
Leave a note
If loving words are the way to your woman’s heart, leave her a sweet note in a place where she least expects to find one—in her car, her gym bag, taped to the coffee maker. Telling her you love and appreciate her is one thing, but seeing those words on paper can make them all the more meaningful.
Give her the day off
There’s a reason that Wife Appreciation Day falls on the weekend—so you can take the kids and let your lady catch a break from carpool, soccer practice and classmates’ birthday parties. No kids? Tell your wife that you’re on duty for laundry, yard cleanup, cooking dinner or any other “chore” she typically does on the weekends so she can relax instead.
Take her out
Treat your other half to a special date night (or daytime date) doing something you know she’ll enjoy. Take in an opera, go see a movie she’s been talking about or visit a museum hosting an artist she loves. Too often, spouses compromise by choosing activities they both like to do—for her special day, ask her to choose whatever it is she’d like to see, eat or do and show excitement even if it’s not really your thing. (You may be surprised…)
Practice gratitude
Maybe your spouse isn’t a grand gesture sort of gal. This day, and every day, show your wife how much you appreciate her. Instead of mumbling “thanks” (while checking emails) when she pours you your morning coffee, or takes the dog out in the morning so you can stay in bed, really say thank you and make eye contact with her. These seemingly little things add up through the days, weeks, months and years, making your marriage stronger and happier.
