So you are in the dog house and you need something to get out of there, fast. Forget roses. Roses are nice now and then, but as an apology gift, they come across as, well, a little trite and desperate. No, when you really need something good, a dozen flowers just will not cut. Now, you know your wife better than we do, but there should be a little something for every woman in the list below. One, two, or three (or more) of the following should, hopefully, patch things up and get you off the couch tonight.
Bailey’s Original Irish Cream Liquor and Chocolates
Bailey’s is the ultimate in “adult beverages” for the wife to have a relaxing evening at home. Leave this on the kitchen table and take the kids to a movie. $80.70.
Newbridge Beaded Heart Bracelet
Sometimes, you just need a sparkly piece of jewelry to set things right. Gold is a must for things like anniversaries, but for an apology, silver will generally show you’re sorry without breaking the bank. $44.02.
These handmade skin products from Ireland are effective, well-crafted, and most importantly, fancy. “It’s from Ireland!” always looks better on this kind of package than “Dermatologist recommended.” $130.61
Personalized Fine Wine Boxed Gift Set
The idea here is that you give her the boxed wine set, and she either drinks it with you and patches things up, or drinks it alone and forgets why she was so mad. $59.38
This is sort of a mini-day at the spa retreat. If it helps her relax, she may come to the conclusion that it’s not your fault, she’s just been kind of tense lately. $80.00.
Classic Teddy and Chocolate Gift Package
It’s hard to stay angry with this cute little fella staring back at you, and if you somehow manage to pull it off, you’ve got chocolates, too! $72.75
Deluxe Gift Box Chocolate Sensations
Basically just a huge box of fine chocolate. You can’t go wrong with this one. $111.37
Gift for Her Ultimate Relaxation
This one is the full spa experience at home: a bottle of wine, handmade chocolates and the ultimate bath experience. $124.72.
Newbridge Vintage Grace Kelly Pearl Necklace
Pearls are a little old fashioned, but no jewelry collection is complete without them, and having Grace Kelly’s name attach doesn’t hurt, either. $124.72
De Geneve Dark Chocolate Espresso Café Mocha
Dark chocolate with coffee centers. The ultimate in bittersweet flavors, which kind of reflects the situation you find yourself in, buying gifts to apologize. The metaphor won’t be lost on her. $44.02
