Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for Women

By Natalie Aranda

Valentine's gifts for her are a crucial, often-overlooked element to a more fulfilling relationship. Most men are unaware of the importance of selecting the right Valentine's gifts for women. Valentine's gifts express and reflect many enriching, bonding qualities in an enduring and satisfying relationship. Men should be careful not to purchase lavish, expensive, or overtly sexual gifts unless the context of such gifts is warranted. It's vital to select a gift for her that fits into the seriousness and timing of the relationship.

Expensive gifts evoke subconscious parallels to something valuable, long-term, and worth keeping. Sexual gifts heighten romance because of the occasion. In that regard, it's critical that the Valentine's gifts are not grossly animalistic, perverted, or classless. A sexy blouse, revealing lingerie, or edible body oil are all excellent gift ideas. A blouse accentuates who she is, the lingerie reveals her beauty yet again, and the body oil can be applied for sensual massages. A personal card, if it took time, thought, and some effort will go miles toward propelling a relationship. Again, chocolate is an aphrodisiac.

Valentine's gifts have the potential to create powerful emotional memories that are both subconscious and physiological. Surprising a partner or spouse with jewelry is an unforgettable event, and it can be underscored with a message true to your mind and heart. Surprise her not only with the gift, but the message of commitment and lasting love that is such a beautiful addendum to the moment together.

Good gift ideas on a budget include romantic DVDs, soothing CDs, Chanel No. 5 perfume, massages, facials, manicures, pedicures, or tickets to the symphony, theater, or ballet. Gifts can be useful for setting up a mood on Valentine's Day. Candles, especially unique and beautiful ones, scented or unscented, can serve a useful purpose by bringing the focus to you and her. Even dimmed artificial lights can be disorienting and imposing. Poetry books, cookbooks, comfy pajamas, a new puppy, or home decor products are good Valentine's gifts for women.

Creativity can also add a lot of flair to an otherwise predictable night of gift-giving. Order in her favorite meal from afar, ahead of time, and put it in the freezer for the special night. Try to think of a few things when deciding on her gifts. Make it the object of your desire to bestow as much joy as possible on her with the Valentine's Gifts for her - and only her.
