Claevage bra.I Google d it and there are so many different kinds…shelf,push up,underwire,and on and on.So I want to get her one that’s comfortable and shows off the cledavage.And she is fine with this I just wanted to surprise her with one if possible.Thanks to all that respond.
Surprise her by taking her shopping. Attempting to buy your wife a comfortable bra of any type is generally ill-advised.
Seconding that. It’s pretty much impossible to buy a bra for somebody else. Even if you get the right size, the cut and fit can be drastically different. Get her a gift certificate to Victoria’s Secret and take her to the mall. If she fits into their bras.
By the way, in case your misspellings were an attempt to circumvent a censor: You’re allowed to say “cleavage” here. In fact, you’re allowed to say pretty much anything, in an appropriate context.
Thirding. My wife kept complaining her bras were worn out, so one day I just dropped her off at a bra shop and told her to come back when she was done. According to the fitter, both her band and cup size weren’t what she thought they were, and if I had tried to surprise her, I never would have come up with anything she’d be even remotely comfortable with.
Since the OP is looking for advice, this is better suited to IMHO than GQ.

I agree with the above. Don’t try to buy a bra for someone else.
If she’s a small woman, you can take her to Victoria’s Secret. If she’s a larger woman, she probably doesn’t need a “cleavage bra”. 
If it were I, I’d be thinking corset, not bra, but to each her own.
Fourth’d on the ‘Drop her off at Victoria’s or somewhere similar’ idea. Most women don’t even know what their real size is. Including me. Apparantly, having someone at VS actually size you is a huge bonus; most women grow and change and don’t really know exactly what works or doesn’t without trying. Since bras aren’t usually cheap, we tend to stick with what we know mostly works. Having THE right size can make a huge difference in both comfort and form.
Large or small, I’d really recommend an actual bra store, not Victoria’s Secret. They are more likely to know not just your right size, but the right type of bra for your figure: I never would have thought about side-boning, for example, but it makes a huge difference for me. Also, my local bra store will put darts in for free, which also made a big difference. And while their bras aren’t cheap, they aren’t ridiculous, either. I think I paid $36 for mine.
Heh-heh. Yes, I am twelve.
This – do not get sized at Victoria’s Secrets; their clerks are not trained well, and they are more concerned with making a sale than fitting you properly (“Uh oh, you’re a 30DD, but we don’t carry that size, so try this 34D instead” – much mangling ensues – “Oh, that totally fits you!”).
Take your wife to Nordstrom or another higher-end department store with a good selection and let her get properly fitted.
Yeaaaahh, when Boob Fairy v 2.0 made her visit to me and I went up two cup sizes, I went to Victoria’s Secret to be “sized.” She “measured” me over my clothes and then told me I was my (former) cup size. Don’t go there for sizing.
We’re not being sexist at you or anything, by the way. Even a woman would be ill-advised to buy another woman a bra. It’s sweet of you to want to surprise her, but you’re better off:
- surprising her with a gift card/certificate
- surprising her by taking her (or dropping her off) and then picking up the tab
- surprising her with a bra from a store with very lenient and generous return/exchange policies
(… listed in order of preference by yours truly, who does not presume to speak on your wife’s behalf)
Seriously.
Open your wallet, and offer your input if she’s willing to listen, but let her choose.
For the love of all that’s good - and to echo what everyone else is saying - please don’t buy one as a surprise. Spring for a professional fitting at a nice department store and the cost of a bra that she can pick out after the fitting. Bras are so individual.
I have done this and the experience was uplifting! 
Yes yes yes. I will never forget the first non-La Senza/Victoria’s Secret bra I bought from a tiny little lingerie store owned by a stern Scottish lady who set me straight about those years of buying the wrong style and size. The one she set me up with was, to paraphrase Ms Helen Mirren, like being cupped by two angels. It wasn’t more than 40 dollars and lasted over seven years - so a better investment than those crappy big chains in so many ways.
Poor guy was so nervous asking us that he misspelled “cleavage” twice.
A specialty shop (that isn’t Victoria’s Secret or Fredricks of Hollywood) or Nordstrom is usually your best bet for a good fitting.
The last time I switched brands/models, I probably tried on 30 bras at Nordstrom with a good fitter. Three were purchasable. More than half - in my size - simply didn’t fit properly. Buying someone else a bra is playing roulette.
Like everyone else is saying…take her shopping. I have had the best experience shopping for bras at Nordstrom. They really do know their stuff and you never have to leave the fitting room. They will just keep bringing you more sizes or styles or colors until you find what you want. Oh, and the last time I went bra shopping there, they had a nice little sitting/waiting area and they brought my husband coffee.
I repeat what everyone says here. Take her to a bra fit expert. I am a bra fit specialist and there are so many women who don’t know or don’t care for the correct bra (larger busted women who want to fit into the average cups and vice versa) that I am surprised women wear the things at all since it’s a waste of money if you don’t get the right size. I recommend going to a store that does fittings properly (like many have said Nordstrom, but also Macy’s, Saks and the independent lingerie stores around, which are hard to find).
One other thing, tell her bra manufacturers use different physical models for each brand, even for each style. Finding the brand that works best for her means she is close to that model’s figure. It may take some trying but she will feel so much better. And don’t go with her. She needs a day to a month to figure this out but without pressure. Then she won’t have to worry about what you are thinking, what you want to do next, if she should hurry up because you or the kids are waiting for her.
Also, a good bra should last for years. Many are only made for 6 months usage…just because it’s expensive doesn’t mean it will last even that. Have her look at the quality and judge.
If you have anymore questions, I am more than happy to answer.
