The best route to preparing the devices for their new owner, is for your wife to first transfer all existing content to the replacement device. These support pages should get you started with setup of the new iPad - and the methods of transferring your data from old to new:
Set up your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support
Transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support
Once data has been transferred, the old devices can be best prepared for the new user, you, by following this process:
What to do before you sell, give away or trade in your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support
This will completely erase the devices, remove the Activation Lock - and allow you to set-up anew from the initial “hello” screen.
