I think the best way is first to show her husband that she truly appreciates all the thoughfulness he has shown, not just through words but also through actions. Like if he gives her a piece of jewely, she should wear it most often. Then she could him that she appresciates his gestures but he should really cut down on his expenses.

She should just point of the practical side of life. Maybe he'll understand and he will not get hurt.

choclatee,

A good way to get around this problem without hurting anyones feelings may be to let her husband know that what she wants are smaller, cheaper gifts. Her husband should spend less money on gifts while still feeling like he is doting on her,

There can be husbands who shower gifts??? Well, I should show this post to my hubby! ;-)
Well, spending too much on gifts is also a point for concern. May be she should ask for gifts in the form of what she would buy for her kitchen. Or she may ask her husband to show his love in someway other than gifts.
On top of everything, the wife should acknowledge his life, so that he doesnt try to prove it through gifts.

does she have kids....if she does nt have she can say tht he shud save all the money for the future for the kids and somthing like tht...she can say tht if he loves her really he shud save for future....and she can say it in a loving manner too.....

Maybe she should tell her husband that she loves him even without the gifts. His love is the greatest gift he can give her. Saving is also important for their future and maybe she can say that saving is also one gift he can give her.

Just tell him the practical side of life in a loving and nice way. Show him you appreciation of his gifts also. But tell him you really need to save for your future.

Tell him what you really feel but in a way that your husband will not even notice you're telling him to spend so much of his salary. Be sweet and gentle. But make sure to get the heart of the message across.

comeon grow up whats this you can straight away make him understand that this is not going to work if he is going to spent his full salary
