Confused on what would count as great Valentine’s Day gifts for her?
Women are complex creatures. I should know. I’m one myself. I admit, sometimes we may be a bit confusing that it’s hard to tell what it is we really want. Men being one of the biggest victims. We drop what we think are heavy and obvious hints but most of the time, being complete opposites, men can’t pick up on said hints.
And as soon as February comes around and love is in the air, you may find a few guys here and there loitering in the shops, shaking their heads, or asking a female friend for opinions on things to buy for their partners.
When a woman says she doesn’t care what gift you buy them, you begin to feel that she actually expects you to know her well enough to buy a great Valentine’s Day Gift for her. I mean, who wouldn’t want to be given something nice on the day of love that only comes once every year?
And now that she’s left you on your own without a hint of what she really wants, you can feel the pressure increase. This task would be much easier if you had a guide, wouldn’t it?
You didn’t have one, but now you do!
Know Her
If you know your partner well, then this is going to be easy. But if you don’t, shame on you! You should at least know her favorites, her habits, and her personality. It would help you choose a great Valentine’s Day gifts for her that she would absolutely love.
Five Types of Great Valentine’s Day Gifts for Her
I categorize Great Valentine’s Day Gifts for her into five categories.
• The Classics
• The Unusual
• The Personal
• The Expensive
• The Special Surprise
And among these five, you’d use what knowledge you have of her to find some great Valentine’s Day Gifts for her. Choose which one fits her personality best. From past experience, which one do you think makes her feel more loved, something you made personally, or something really expensive? Is she a hopeless romantic and loves the old traditional stuff? Does she like to keep it simple? Or does she have a knack for creativity?
Great Valentine’s Day Gifts for Her – The Classics
Bring back the old favorites.
• A Box of Chocolates
• A Dozen Roses
• A Teddy Bear
• Jewelry
• Poem/Love Letter
These Classics are the five traditional great Valentine’s Day Gifts for her that most probably everyone loves. These are
perfect gifts for old fashioned women who love the traditional style and thinks it’s romantic. These are also good for women who like to keep it simple. These classics almost always work and are bound to make her happy.
Great Valentine’s Day Gifts for Her – The Unusual
The unusual type of gifts has two subcategories: creativeness and/or uniqueness. This is the category where your knowledge of your partner matters most. Using what you know she likes, you’ll try creating a unique, creative, pleasant, and great Valentine’s Day gift for her.
Example, you can bake her a small cake of her favorite flavor and her favorite color. While baking, you could insert a ring of her birthstone in it so that she might just accidentally chew upon it and be delighted with what she finds. Make sure to bake a small cake so that she would be sure to finish it and find it. You can create other creative and unique ideas too using her set of favorites.
These are great for women who like to be different or prefer unusual stuff. These can also work for women with a knack for creativity, women who collect unusual things, have unusual habits, or eccentric women who want to be unique.
Great Valentine’s Day Gifts for Her – The Personal
To a woman, the sweetest gift she could possibly receive is something that you worked hard for, went out of your way to do, or personally made. You may think that a handwritten love note is enough, but going out of your way to do something for her would make her smile brightly and inwardly squeal with delight.
Instead of taking her to a fancy restaurant, clean up your usually messy apartment, light some candles, and cook her dinner instead.
Can’t spend the whole day with her because you’ve got work or you have an extra fun night out with the guys? Ask for a day off or politely refuse your friends’ invitation. This will make her feel important to you. Besides, I’m positively sure that she’d value your presence more than anything else you could possibly give her. Gifts are nice, sure. But without your company, it would mean nothing to her.
Go out of your way to do nice things for her on this one day and she’d treasure this memory as one of your best great Valentine’s Day gift for her.
These work best with dedicated women, housewife material women, or women who love romance and love being swept off her feet again and again. These can also work with all the other types of women except the ones that hates going all mushy and lovey-dovey.
Great Valentine’s Day Gifts for Her – The Expensive
To me, money can be listed as one of the Classics as guys tend to think that buying expensive gifts is a great Valentine’s Day gift for her. Although partly true, money is in a completely different category. When done in the wrong way, a girl may feel insecure or unloved. You may buy her a great car but if it’s her least favorite color, she may feel that you don’t know her well enough, thus leading to insecurities.
Examples of old favorites in the expensive category are buying her perfume, hiring a private jet to spell out her name and a sweet sentence in the sky, buying her something that she had always wanted or have been saving forever for, taking her out for a vacation and a Valentine’s Day romance in popular places (Hawaii, Niagara Falls etc.), or taking her to one of the most authentic restaurants around.
There are other more creative ways to use the money, of course, and it would be better if you personalize it a bit to fit her preferences.
These work extremely well with vain women, women who like to stand out from the crowd, women who like to be envied, women who like to keep up a high class profile, or women who like to be pampered.
Great Valentine’s Day Gifts for Her – The Special Surprise
The special surprise is my personal favorite. This category can charm anyone and everyone. It is a combination of all previously mentioned four categories. Find a creative way to make her feel magical. Add in a little bit of the classics here and there, make it unique, make it a blast, and make it very personalized. But most of all, make it fit her preferences so greatly, it could count as her living fairytale.
There are many ways to do this, but I leave the guessing up to you as it is you who knows her well. As I mentioned earlier, if you know your partner well, it would be a breeze to create a big and magical great Valentine’s Day gifts for her.
