Romantic Gifts That Wives And Girlfriends Will Love

The lady in your life may know that you love her, but surprising her for no apparent reason can highlight the sentiment and make her feel special, earning you a few brownie points. Although these surprises do well for any occasion, but they become all the more special during Valentine’s Day. Here are a few tips that may help you brighten her February!

Write her a love letter:

In this age of text messaging and e-mail, hand-written letters are a greater expression of a timeless romance. Even if you feel silly writing down your mushy feelings on a piece of paper, your girl will love it, particularly if you shy away from expressing you affection normally. If she likes certain cologne on you, spray it onto the paper before you mail her the letter.

‘Woo’ her with a classic romantic gift:

Try a teddy bear, a box of chocolate, roses, jewelry, or a bouquet. Pick out a gift that is inside your budget, but make sure it is well thought of. For instance, if your girl is allergic to chocolates, you must choose something else. If done on every Valentine’s Day, these gifts can start to look cliché. But, when they are done occasionally, though, they will speak volumes about your feelings toward your better half.

Gift her something customized:

Give her something that has been tailored especially for her. You can opt for a present that caters to your girl’s interests rather than a “conventional” romantic gift. Gift the first copy of her favorite novel; buy her tickets to a movie or play she wants to see. Such gifts show her that you understand her enough to know exactly what she likes, and they will not go to waste as you know she will like and use them.

Cook a meal for her:

There is nothing more romantic than a man cooking for his woman. If you feel positive about your cooking skills, make sure you prepare a lavish meal just for her. You can make dinner, lunch or breakfast, but you must make an effort.

Take her out:

If cooking on your own is too much then take her out for a romantic dinner. But, before you go, try to make sure your girl is dressed according to atmosphere or dress code of the restaurant. She will definitely love the gesture.

Spa basket:

A basket filled with scented candles, bar soaps, exotic body wash, lotion etc; is sure to bring a smile to her face.  She will think of you every time she decides to relax and indulge. You can always add a box of chocolates or her favorite treats to make the gift sweeter.  

Chocolate collection:

A box filled with dark caramelized chocolates, butter almond toffees, and milk chocolates to the brink is sure to get her all excited. You can accompany this goodie box with a big bunch of roses to add to the feeling of Valentine’s Day.

Wine basket:

A bottle of red wine paired with exquisite gourmet food products creates a winning combination! You can add different kinds of nuts, flatbread crackers, different varieties of cheese, and the like to the basket. Enjoy it while watching a movie together or just curling up in a blanket together.

It is that time of year when the pressure to find that special gift for your lady is on. By following these Valentine's Day tips you're sure to find something that will make her eyes glimmer in that unmistakable way. There are several gift shops in California that deal in customized gift baskets. Call them up and ask them to advise you on one for your girl. Most of these shops have creative artists working for them.
