Valentine's Day Gift Ideas

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and the clock is ticking. What on earth are you going to get her? Get her the right gift, and she’ll know she’s the apple of your eye. Screw it up, and you’ll be spending your time together trying to prove that you’re not a total boob.

If you’re stumped, these are good ideas for you. This timeless list of bound-to-please gifts will have her swooning.

Chocolates

Chocolate is the standard V-Day gift, and it’s easy to see why. It’s rich, creamy and muy delicioso. Not to mention it’s an aphrodisiac. There’s a reason chocolate is the candy of love and Sour Patch Kids aren’t. But not all chocolates are created equal. Skip the drugstore variety and go for a high-end chocolate like Godiva, Leonidas or Teuscher. With cocoa content at 70%, these designer creations are much more decadent that your average chocolate. If that’s still a little too traditional for you, try chocolate body paint. Sensuous makes three different yummy flavors, including mint-chocolate, white-chocolate macadamia and chocolate raspberry.

Fragrance

Perfume can be super-tricky, as every woman has a different preference when it comes to smell. Regardless, if you snag her something you think smells delicious, then she’ll likely enjoy it as well. Try Curve Appeal by Elizabeth Arden. It’s is a heady, sexy mix of mandarin, violet, apple, nectarine, jasmine, iris, amber, sandalwood and vanilla. You’ll want to smell her all night.

Fancy Sheets

High-thread-count sheets are considered a luxury, not a necessity, which is exactly why they make the most perfect Valentine’s Day gift. Every woman wants to be pampered. They might seem a bit fancy, but once the two of you crawl underneath the covers, you’ll realize why they’re worth every penny. Plus, this is the gift that gives back; with sheets like these, she’ll never want to get out of bed. Look for Egyptian cotton in at least an 800 thread count. .

Lingerie

Speaking of gifts that give back, lingerie is another one that benefits you as much as it does her. Since you probably have no idea how bras are sized, your best bet is to sneak a peek at one of hers when she’s not looking. The tag is usually located on the back strap. If you would rather not worry about her cup size, you can get her a teddy or slip, since those come in much-easier-to-gauge sizes like small, medium and large.

 Flowers

Flowers are a natural choice for your lady love on Valentine’s Day, and a pretty safe bet when all else fails. Unlike other gifts, flowers are appropriate, whether you’ve been dating her for one day or one year. And there are no calories involved. Stick to the classics like roses, or, if she’s not a traditionalist, go for something exotic like lilies or orchids.   

At-Home Spa Goodies

Put together a spa experience by getting her everything she needs to recreate a spa at home. Engage her sense of romance with scented Diptyque candles. Swing by Bath & Body Works and throw in a loofah, body lotion and bubble bath. Arrange it in a basket and, voila! You have a home spa kit. The cubes foam into a froth of soapy bubbles while releasing a citrus-y sweet scent.

Sexy Body Products

Set the mood for love with sexy products that pamper her body and arouse her. Kama Sutra is known for the sheer variety of kits and products that serve as the ultimate in foreplay. Gift sets like the Weekender Kit and Strawberries & Champagne Treasure Trove will get her treasure trove hot and bothered. Or try Lust Dust Body Powder. This delicious lickable powder will make it that much more easy to lick her hot bod.

A massage

The perfect end to a romantic evening? A sexy rubdown. The Rub Me Massage Bar melts easily into the skin, creating a smooth, creamy base for massage. If you find oils to be too messy, this is perfect. If your massage skills aren’t up to par, give her a real spa massage. The atmosphere will allow her to truly relax, while a professional’s touch will help ease her tension-filled muscles.
