Present Wife Correct I Wrong Put Objective Case

Front
correct?

It is a present from my wife and I
Back
This is as wrong as saying "from I"

put "me" – objective case of "I" after the preposition "from"

It is a present from my wife and me

In fact, you should only use 'I' in an expression like 'you and I' when it is the subject of the verb.
