Giving gifts to one's wife

Q: I have been getting myself closer in following the Sunnahs of our beloved Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and trying to become a better Muslim and my wife stood by me and supported me she even ties my turban for me. I am 26 years old and the question that I have is as follows, what gifts did Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) gift to his wives to increase or show love? I can get her anything but I would like to know what did our beloved Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) give so I can emulate this behaviour as well?

A: Compliment them and buy some gifts for them and make du`aa for them. And advise them with the things that are better for them. One easy way is to conduct ta`leem in the house regularly. Through this you will understand insha-Allah, how Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) responded to people's situations, and his domestic life and public life.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
