PSA TO all the dudes out there with a wife and kids: Mother’s Day is May 12th. It's just a few short weeks away, which means you’ve got to be prepared—and soon. But that’s no reason to scramble or fret (yet, anyway) because we are here to do what we do best: to serve you with unique and creative Mother’s Day gifts your wife will love. It’s a springtime holiday to express your love and appreciation for putting up with you and the little ones you have at home.

While she probably deserves a much-needed vacation for some R&R, there are plenty of creative gifts for wives that will make your wife just as happy. Think: personalized jewelry she’ll have forever, spa products she can pamper herself with, or lovely flowers to get her excited about spring. Buying for your wife is different than buying for your mother: it involves a nod to both romance and gratitude, timely positioned for the spring mood. Whether you're looking for a cheap gift that looks just as luxe as a pricey purchase, or a meaningful Mother's Day gift that'll make this year even more memorable, we have plenty of ideas to fit every type of wife.

Check out the best Mother's Day gifts for wives this year, whether you're planning months in advance or scrambling for a quick, last-minute idea.
