Personalised gifts for your wife can say things that are hard to put in a card - the date you met, the place you married, the song from your first dance. Build the gift around a shared memory.

Below are ideas grouped by type. Most personalised gifts are made to order, so allow at least a week (two around Christmas) and double-check names, dates and spellings before you buy.
