However, with this article, I am going to help cover your bases. You will find some Valentines day gift ideas for a girl you are secretly admiring, a girlfriend you have only recently begun dating, a long term girlfriend and a gift for who may be “the one” girlfriend for life. So keep reading this article find out exactly what she will be expecting and what will make your girlfriend happiest this Valentine’s Day!

Valentines Day Gifts for A Secretly Admired Girl

When it comes to shopping for a girl you have had a crush on for a long time, you will need to consider how she feels about you before you make any moves. If this girl has been your friend for a long time and you want to use Valentines Day to announce your love for her: great! Just make sure there is a possibility that she may like you back. You don’t need certainty here, but she should be single and she should never have told you that she doesn’t like you. Now in this case you know the girl and you should be able to find a gift that speaks to her. If she likes a certain type of treat, for example exotic fruits or Godiva chocolates, get her those. If she prefers CDs, DVDs, notebooks or decorative things, opt for those. Now in the case that you have been secretly crushing on a stranger girl, you might need to guess at what she likes. You can always opt for the traditional valentine day candy hearts, some chocolates and a nice “Secret Admirer” valentines day card. Just be sure to put your name if you want her to know it was you who gave her the gifts!

Valentines Day Gifts for a New Girlfriend

If you have been dating a girl for only a short while and Valentines day comes around, don’t panic. This is actually a good thing, because you will not be expected to splurge on expensive gifts, and any relatively good presents will make any girl happy. I suggest a Valentines day card that has a lot of humor, and is not overly romantic. Then add some chocolates or other valentines day candy, maybe some flowers or other things like stuffed animals with hearts on them.

Valentines Day Gifts for A long time Girlfriend

When it comes to buying valentine day presents for a long time girlfriend, you may need to reach deep into your inner creativity. If you have been giving your girlfriend the same valentine day presents year after year, you will want to spruce things up every now and then, at least. Start with shopping at a different store, consider shopping online even. If she has a wishlist on amazon or other stores, why not pick a few of the items on that list and wrap them up in a red silky ribbon and decorate with a rose and some chocolates. If you have been dating for awhile you might also consider going down the jewelry route. This means either bracelets, ear rings, necklaces, tiaras, and even rings. Be careful when buying rings, unless you are looking to move this relationship to the next step.

Valentines Day Gifts for The One

If you think that your girlfriend may be The One for you, then your choice of valentines day presents may need to be slightly different. You can still read the above sections to get some ideas, but you will need to take them each a step further. Beyond buying a good gift, such as chocolates, candy, flowers, stuffed bears, and jewelry, you will need to work on the delivery and the time and place for these offerings. If you want to be extra romantic set the mood with some candle light, place some relaxing music, prepare a nice meal. Dress your best, put on your best smile and talk to her in a soothing voice. Be sure to hold her hand a lot, and emphasize that the gift is about her, and not about a holiday or about the item itself. Everything at this point is a celebration of your love for each other, it is no longer material. Of course the gift matters, and if you buy something too cheap or too pricey, your moves may be discounted. But if you know your girlfriend well enough, this should come naturally.


February 14th is an important holiday for most women, so each man will want to do something romantic for the special one in his life. Maybe there's not a lot of room in the budget for frivolities, or husbands and boyfriends would rather do something for her a little more unique than the typical flowers and chocolate. With a little thought men can come up with a low-cost (or no-cost) holiday that will still put a smile on her face.

Valentine's Day Gifts That Don't Cost Anything

Many men assume that their partners expect them to spend money on a present, but they may be surprised at the appreciation they receive on February 14th by choosing a present that is free. While many women appreciate the store-bought gifts, the extra thought that goes into these may be more meaningful to her.

  • Leave notes that she will find throughout the day expressing appreciation for things she does. Leave them in the bathroom, her car, and on the coffeepot. The more notes, the more appreciated she will feel.
  • Stay up late the night before Valentine's Day and surprise her with a clean house. Even just tackling some dishes, laundry, and general clean-up will make her Valentine's morning special.
  • Husbands who are the sentimental type could write out some memories they have of the time they've been together, and how she's made a difference in his life. So much better than a store-bought card!
  • Wash and vacuum her car. Most women spend a lot of time in the car. If a husband can make this area of her life a little less cluttered she will appreciate it.
  • Time! Women all have things they love to do but don't take the time to do them. Give her the gift of time by freeing up her day to do whatever she loves.
  • Catch her off guard by doing something on the honey-do list that will make her life easier.

Inexpensive Valentine's Day Gifts

For men who've got some money to spend, or want to do something more, there are several options for their wife or girlfriend's Valentine's Day present.
