Give her the fruit of her hands, and let her actions praise her in the gates.

Her husband tells his sons to speak about her good deeds, so that people will praise her because of them (Ibn Ezra).

The “fruit of her hands” are the children she raised in the ways of Torah. Her “fruit” also is speaking about the reward she will get for helping her husband and children study Torah (Me’am Lo’ez). These actions will point out her goodness and show that she is a true Eishes Chayil.
