Let her see you read "All the Rage" or watch SheIsAPaigeTurner videos, and learn from them

Priceless

I don’t think anyone could be upset about a clean car with a handwritten card inside.

The point OP, is to make her feel loved and appreciated without making life harder for her. Think Father’s Day and what she does for you.

Same here

If she likes designer goods, you can get a card case, scarf, perfume, earrings or reversible belt at many stores for around $500 or under.

At Coach or Tory Burch, you could get a bag, shoes, or more jewelry options.

I'd like some flowers picked out by the kids, a box of gourmet dark chocolates, and a nice quiet meal out with just you where I could get dressed up.

Diamond stud earrings (if she does not have them, but has pierced ears) from Blue Nile (lab grown)?

I would love that! $500 would go really far at a garden center, and I always feel guilty spending money there because it is the definition of stuff we do not need.

I would HATE this.

I would LOVE this, and was coming to say, plants and things for her garden!

This is why this question is unanswerable, subjectively; OP is merely getting ideas.

If you are going to do spa, pick the date and time and then take care of all the other things so relaxation is fully considered

Detail her car

This is such a good point. My sister does this for me sometimes. She books me a massage and takes the kids for the afternoon while I go. It’s so much better than just getting a gift card that I don’t really feel like I have time to use.

This is the first suggestion I'd actually be excited about.

Exactly the reason why OP’s question is pointless without more details.

Yes you have to tell us more.
I would be really happy with Tiffany jewelry or other jewelry or an Anthro gift card but would be so upset with a garden center gift card.
