Valentine’s presents a great gifting opportunity for couples. However, the day can pose a lot of challenges with all the choices available these days.
When you visit the gift shop, you invariably get one question, ‘Why is everything covered in hearts?!’ While those options are great for the few days leading up to Valentine’s day, but what about the rest of the year?
What will your girlfriend do with a stuffed toy holding a plush heart in October? Keep in mind that roughly 43 million Americans or about 17 percent of the population received unwanted Valentine’s Day gifts this year.
Professors from Stanford and Harvard revealed that partners, particularly women, want to receive the gift they explicitly asked for.
The study further added that the receivers find explicitly-asked-for presents as more considerate and thoughtful compared to a special surprise gift.
Skip the heart-shaped chocolates or stuffed toys and follow these simple yet practical gift ideas for your girlfriend during the special day.
Pink or Red Lingerie
Creativity takes courage, and nothing is more creative and courageous than buying your girlfriend a beautiful piece of lingerie for Valentine’s.
There’s a lot of factors to consider in buying her the perfect underwear. Your choice can say a lot about your personality. Buying the wrong style, cut, and size might rub her the wrong way and the next thing you know, you are single again.
Always opt for something that is not too lacy or too silky to make your lady feel comfortable. Likewise, try passionate colors like red or pink to spice up the atmosphere.
If all else fails, neutral shades like gray, black, and beige are recommended. Just remember to keep it fun and customize a pair of underwear by adding an image of her favorite objects or characters.
A Pair of Earrings
For ladies who are not too keen on wearing flashy jewelry, diamond earrings are the way to go. Depending on the overall ensemble, a pair of earrings can play casual, conservative, elegant, or bold.
Bear in mind that diamond earrings are among the most versatile pieces in the accessory arsenal of every woman. Whether they are star-like dots, princess-shaped, or multi-carat, a great pair of earrings can accentuate the overall look of your lady.
Choose a pair of earrings that complement the facial features of your girlfriend. Take note that earrings can create an illusion and make your woman’s face look fat, thin, long, or full. Also, consider the bone structure of the face since it will determine the weight and size of the earrings your girlfriend will look best in.
For ladies with medium bone structures, pick medium weight and size earrings while women with substantial bone structures can go for chunky and heavy ornaments.
Initial Necklaces
The most meaningful necklaces do not have to break the bank. Personalized gifts like initial necklaces carry a personal touch which makes it an incredibly significant present for your loved ones.
Opt for necklaces that provide a statement, usually the ones with large stones and other accents. If your girl loves to layer her clothes with jewels, choose necklaces that long, thin, and have a few accents scattered through the length.
Not limiting yourself only to chocolates, flowers, and stuffed toys is a great way to ensure that you pick a gift that she’ll use. Remember to use these gift ideas for Valentine’s Day, and you’ll surely make your girl feel special.
