Your wife deserves the best, but sometimes finding the right gift that she’ll actually use—and, well, love—can be challenging. Before you beeline straight to the gift ideas below, think about her hobbies or something she’s expressed interest in lately (like, say, a Kindle to improve her reading streak). While you're at it, consider if there's anything that would make her days easier, whether it's an eye massager to ease overworked eyes or a Stanley cup to ensure she's hydrated from morning to night. And if you still need help, then you've come to the right place because, as Yahoo's resident gifting expert, I know a thing or two about finding the best gifts for wives (and everyone else).

One thing's for sure: You don’t have to break the bank to spoil the woman you love. Below, you'll find a list of unique gift ideas for different budgets, starting under $10. If she's always cozying up to you to keep warm, get her a wearable blanket or electric foot warmer (but make sure she knows cuddles are also welcome). Or if you're hoping for something that you two can do together, the Lego flower bouquet makes for a great couples activity. Keep scrolling for all of these gift ideas and more!

When she doesn't want to lug around her Stanley, she can just slip this cute neoprene sleeve on any ol' plastic cup to keep her iced drink colder, longer.

Choose between four sizes: small fits a Starbucks Grande, medium fits a Venti, large fits a Trenta and extra-large fits drinks up to 48 ounces.

The next time she's cooking up something in the kitchen, she can prop up her tablet or cookbook on this wooden holder. Better yet, pair it with a newly-released cookbook (like the newest volume of the bestselling Magnolia Table by Joanna Gaines) so she can put it to use ASAP.

You’re always telling her to drink more water, so you might as well get her something to help her reach her hydration goals.

There's a time and a place for a big, bulky wallet, but more often than not, she just needs to have the essentials (credit cards and some cash) on hand. This leather card holder has four designated card slots, plus a zippered pocket to stash away cash and coins. You can't go wrong with black, but the light pink and deep jade options may be easier to find in her purse.

While you might not be able to get her a personal assistant, an Echo Show 5 is the next best thing. She can use Alexa to make video calls to loved ones, check in on the house while she’s away, listen to music, set up calendar appointments and so much more.

With all the typing she does, it's no wonder her hands ache at the end of the day.

Switch between three different massage modes and strengths, depending on her preferred intensity level.

This heated brush can switch from drying to styling with a simple twist. Unlike other curling irons and stylers that require dry hair to work, this one — which comes with oval and paddle brush attachments, along with two curlers — can do it all, taking her hair from the shower to the streets. It gets the job done in record time: "My hair is thick, wavy and coarse. Took five minutes to blow my hair 90% dry with a paddle brush. Then another 10 minutes to blow out with full round brush attachment and the air wraps," one five-star fan wrote.
