Obviously there is jewelry and designer handbags and that crap, but one less obvious one thing that is always appreciated by my wife is "things that help her get/keep/stay WARM".
Things that have gone over well in the past like:
1. Heated mattress pad for the bed (huge win for New England winters!)
2. nicer, warm slippers.
3. good coats. More expensive than what she would typically buy for herself. Not fur, but North Face or whatever.
4. (her request, I would never have thought of this) alpaca wool socks and a some kind of poncho type thing. Ordered the stuff from, errr, Peru? Someplace in South America. Somewhat pricey, but not completely ridiculous.
My wife is pretty practical, so what ends up happening is special occassions are opportunities to buy her something that she wants, is useful, but she wouldn't spend the money on herself for.
