Choosing the perfect gift for your Valentine can be a minefield. Sure, that lingerie looked nice on the rail, but what if you’ve picked the wrong size? Does she really like sparkly jewellery? Is the classic flowers and chocolates combo (probably from the 24 hour garage) really going to cut it? To make your Valentine’s gift hunting a little easier, we’ve sorted out a handy guide for you with four things she will genuinely love.
Bath stuff
Most girls love bath stuff. This is basically scientific fact, like cats loving tuna or dogs wanting to chew your favourite shoes. But it’s not just any bath stuff. Don’t just nip down to the chemists and pick up a bottle of shower gel. It has to smell like a candy shop and florist rolled into one, have lots of colour (pink, purple and baby blue are all good ones to look out for), and possibly some sparkly bits in there too. Try a box of bath bombs or a giant bottle of salts. If you really want to get into her good books, sneak in a chocolate massage bar too – you’ll be glad you did.
Tech gifts
Ditch those clichés about girls being technophobes or not knowing how to switch the computer on. Your girl will probably be just as big a tech fan as you are. If you really fancy impressing her with a well-considered gift, why not amp up her mobile phone package with some great sim-only deals from Virgin Media? It’ll give her all the freedom to call, text and tweet you whenever she wants. We recommend combining this with one of the other gift ideas though, unless you want the cold shoulder.
Jewellery
Chosen well, this is a gift that can leave a lasting impression. Jewellery doesn’t have to mean spending a small fortune on a cluster of diamonds, but it doesn’t mean opting for the bottom of the bargain bin either. Lots of contemporary stores carry ranges by modern designers, who combine cutting edge style with affordable materials, so she can get some celeb-style bling without you going bankrupt.
A romantic getaway
Again, this is another one of those gifts that can really win her heart, if you choose well. While we’d all love to charter the private chopper for an impromptu romantic getaway to a private island in the Bahamas, we can’t always do that. But that doesn’t mean it’s not possible to whisk her away somewhere special. A cosy B&B tucked away from the hustle and bustle of life, surrounded by beautiful scenery, and with a charming bedroom packed with treats like flowers, chocolates and her favourite songs, is a sure-fire winner.
So there’s our guide to romantic gifts for girls this Valentine’s. Choose well and you’ll be in the good books for at least a couple of weeks. Choose badly and it’s the dog house until next February.
