Im a bit old school here, but I’m a huge fan of milestone gifts that people would not normally buy for themselves. Something like a Mont Blanc engraved is always nice. It will get used a lot, can be integrated in everyday work life and is a great reminder of hard work paying off.
Y’all use pens?!?
You are a wonderful man, keep it up.
No. It’s on you for actually policing
Professional Resume Services, to leave the worst position in the ladder lol
I loved being a Manager, Senior Manager is the worst.
As a Manager you can delegate to Seniors & Staffs, you don’t have any sales goals and no PPMDs breathing down your throat

Spa day, a new business card holder or wallet, a nice piece of jewelry that's her style, an update to something at gone she's been wanting (new art, a standing desk, or fancy chair).
I took my wife to Nordstroms when she got promoted and gave the personal stylist a budget and let her have fun 🤩. You could do the same since most of them enjoy shopping
lol this is amazing, can’t wait for EYP2 to see this

Diamonds are females best all time friends!
Diamonds are overpriced rocks

As a woman myself, I'd love something I can have with me every day but not a pen as others suggested (many of us are picky about point!) I'd love a nice stackable ring set that I can wear daily and remind me of home when I'm traveling, or simple but elegant earrings.
$499 gift card. J/k my wife prefers ‘experiences’ over ‘items’ so if it were me it would be a spa day or a dinner at a fancy restaurant or something like that

This is a big milestone. Get her something nice. Women usually enjoy big bags - Maybe get her one of those. Will def be 4-6x your budget but well worth it. And besides, you work at EYP, you can afford it 😊
Does she like Bourbon?
My go to ~$500 gift for a new “Boss” is a bottle of WhistlePig The Boss Hog
Or a great bottle of wine to share!
I bought myself a nice pair of boots and an expensive spa package. So some thing I could use right away to de-stress and something I could continue to wear and remember the promotion every time I wear them!

Get both of you home on time for that one day :P
Few good suggestions here, just make sure that whatever you buy or do is after some thought and proper attention to her
Up the budget. Vacation!
All I got when I got promoted was my wife asking if that meant we could start renovations because I’d ‘make more money.’ You’re a good SO, OP.
Depends on what she likes. If she likes experiences get that, if she always wanted to try a hobby or sport maybe a package of private lessons in it and some equipment. If you're more after an item, I'd say go for high quality local or recognisable brand but that's not overpriced. Such as an Italian leather bag or a nice watch (Seiko for example is good for that). A silk scarf can be combined with anything really or some nice jewelry. For example I know many stones apart from diamonds are decently priced, and even lab diamonds are not too expensive if they're small, so could be a nice pair of earrings for example if it's a sapphire or similar. Or you could book you guys for a lovely and romantic spa weekend, so she can chill before starting a new role!
Congrats to your wife! A nice leather work bag or accessory might be a nice gift to go along with her new role. Bosca has some nice stuff (laptop bags, wallets, folios, etc.).
nice set of yurman earrings should be around there, maybe even a bit less
New babies 🥳
