10 GIFTS SHE WILL LOVE THIS VALENTINE’S DAY

VALENTINE’S DAY IS AN AWFULLY DAUNTING EXPERIENCE WHEN IT COMES TO GIFTING.

My rule for Valentine’s Day is to overlook the cheesy and often monotonously themed items in stores and make it personal. I, too have been the victim of a teddy in an espresso cup and I don’t even have an espresso machine.

If you’ve been with someone for a substantial period of time, picking a gift is usually an easier task. Choosing a gift for a fairly new partner is much harder in this regard. When shopping, keep the following in mind: Is it thoughtful? Is it useful? Is it day appropriate? Is it from the heart? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then chances are you are already on the right track. On the other hand, if you’re treating yourself this Valentine’s Day then you don’t need to justify your gift to yourself by answering any of the above.
