It surprises me that so many men are clueless as to what their mate would like as a gift.
Like bruh do you seriously have on blinders? How do you not know at least one thing she would like?
Women are not a monolith so it isn't a thing you can ask your homegirl, sister, mom (unless they are people that know her).
But if you are looking for help go to her best friend. Her best friend knows.
Spa treatments: facial, massage, manicure, or pedicure are all nice gifts. However if she has never experienced these services on her own I would not suggest doing it as a gift.
Also if she likes these services make sure you book with her preferred vendor. The same way you wouldn't cheat on your barber she won't cheat on her manicurist or aesthetician.
If she has kids another great gift would be a staycation for 48-72 hours. A nice getaway where she doesn't have to cook or clean or nag or worry about anyone other than herself.
A girl's weekend or night out that you coordinate with her friends is another great gift. Again her best friend knows what to do just ask and be ready to send that cash.
Hire a cleaning company to do a deep clean. This isn't a gift for her, this is a gift for y'all because the home is the responsibility for all who live there.
Consider that thing she nags/complains about: dirty car, wobbly table, weak shower head, etc and fix that shit. It may seem small but it shows that you listened and understood.
Check her pinterest, ig likes or Twitter favorites. There are things she won't mention in words but if she is liking/sharing photos of Fenty lingerie then buy it, duh?
Some items, like makeup, are incredibly personal so I wouldn't recommend just walking into Sephora and buying some. This is where a gift card to Sephora/Ulta would be a better choice.
If you know fragrances she likes to wear you can use fragrance website to find complementary fragrance. Don't just blindly buy a fragrance tho unless she specifically expressed that she wanted it.
Mentally commit to stop a behavior that annoys her. Put your dirty socks in the hamper, take the dog for a walk every morning, whatever. Use your damn phone and set a reminder. Don't talk about it just do it. Trust me she will notice.
Take a photo of your fridge, freezer, and pantry when it's full. Then go look at the fridge/pantry toward the end of the week and take note of what is missing. That is a shopping list now pack up the kids and go to the grocery.
Master how to make one meal. This is not an easy, one-time thing. Cooking doesn't come naturally to everyone, but it is a skill that can be learned if you work at it. Commit to cooking it twice a month. You may need a back-up pizza just in case the first couple times.
