Something cozy (a great throw, robe or slippers) or something that upgrades her routine (a silk pillowcase, a vanity mirror, a better coffee setup) is a safe bet. Add a handwritten note.
Comfort and time: a Barefoot Dreams throw, a sunrise alarm for better sleep, or an experience you do together. Practical luxuries she wouldn't buy herself tend to land best.
