For most men, picking out the perfect Valentine’s gift for their wives or girlfriends can be a tedious task. Since not all women are very particular about what they really want, men spend a lot of time finding that elusive gift and end up confused and frustrated when they can’t decide which one to choose for their special someone.
To avoid confusion, you must mentally review the interests of your wife or girlfriend and create her profile in your mind when you go out shopping for that gift.
If your wife or girlfriend is logical and humble, avoid giving her items that are extravagant and super expensive. Give your “practical” partner extremely practical gifts that may include a new coffeemaker, vacuum cleaner, magazine subscriptions, furniture items, towels or sheets, and a few gardening items. Make sure she definitely is a practical person before giving these gifts, otherwise you might get a reaction you don’t expect!!
If you have a romantic partner, give her sentimental stuff like journals with pen set, perfumes, tickets to the special ballet, art show, or theatre performance, a pampering bath and body set, reservations at a fancy fine-dining restaurant, a relaxing out-of-town or out-of-the-country weekend getaway, jewellery like necklaces and earrings, or a designer watch.
If your partner is into sports or fitness, give her what a “sporty” wife would be interested in. That may include tickets that feature her favourite basketball, hockey, baseball, or football team, team spirit items like collectible shirts, hats, and memorabilia, fitness stuff like hand weights, yoga mat, workout DVDs or a pre-paid gym membership.
Romantic gift options for women
Giving her a unique gift on Valentine’s Day would definitely rekindle that special bond. If you are still clueless what gifts you can give your wife or girlfriend, here are the top Valentine’s Day items that men usually give out to their partners on this special day.
- A selection of her favourite flowers. This is a surefire hit because women cannot resist the charm of flowers. Just make sure that the flowers are her favourite variety to create more impact.
- Jewellery and unique accessories with matching jewellery boxes. Women love jewellery so if you can afford it, she would be extremely delighted to have it as a Valentine’s Day gift from you.
- A special pencil sketch or a portrait of your wife or girlfriend. This is a unique gift to give her especially to those who are inclined with the arts.
- A personalised CD or audio cassette of her favourite singer or artist. Women take pride if their men know their tastes and preferences when it comes to music so this will be a hit.
But before you go out on that gift-buying spree for your Valentine, make sure that you stick to your price range. If possible, buy her the things she specifically asked for to avoid hassles. Also, take time to look for gifts that suit her style, taste, and personality and lastly, wear comfortable clothes and shoes so you would be comfortable even if you spend the whole day looking for that special gift.

We have all grown up with the wedding poem, “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” But did you know the next line is “And a silver sixpence in her shoe”? A sixpence is a British silver coin minted from 1551 to 1967.
Once you decide to get married and have a date set, the next big task is creating a reasonable budget for the big day. One of the early decisions will have to be the type of wedding you want: formal, informal, etc. Traditionally the bride’s father paid for everything, but that task is now being shared by both sets of families or the bride and groom alone, if they have money of their own. The rigid, traditional lines have disappeared.
