Tips And Ideas For Valentines Day Gifts

Women can be real enigmas. The most popular gifts among men were flowers, Valentines Day cards, a night out, candy and jewelry.

The good news is that there are some non-traditional Valentines Day gifts that are bound to please her, even if you have no idea what her favorite color is or what hints she's dropped throughout the year.

Are you looking to spend $0-$60 for your Valentines Day gifts? Well, you could always be creative with Valentines Day flowers and cards. You could create a slideshow of photos set to her favorite song or record a video for her amusement.

If you're thinking, "get real — I want something easy," then there are other less pricey options you can purchase. The Sephra Select Chocolate Fountain ($60) can give your girl the Valentines Day chocolate presented in a unique way.

You can buy pretzels, strawberries, Oreos and other delectable tidbits for the two of you to dip in hot, melted chocolate to make a night of it. They say the "best things in life are free," which is indeed true if you're dating a real animal lover!

Just scour the newspapers and you're bound to find lots of kittens in need of happy homes, available for no cost at all! This may be a risky venture, so you'll need to be sure she's in a position to keep a pet, with regard to time, money and living situation.

It may surprise you, but girls like gadgets as Valentines Day gifts too. She'll be unable to resist your charm after you hand over a Pink iPod with all her favorite songs loaded on it!

Or perhaps buying her the new iPhone would blow her mind; just be sure to load your photo and phone number on it for her as a special touch! If your girl is always getting lost on the road, then a GPS device is a great way to direct her to you.

For $30 at www.discovery.com, you can get her a photo frame that allows you to record a voice message or a Discover Digital Photo Keychain that will hold her keys and 54 pictures of you! Sometimes you can get away with foregoing the romantic Valentine gift in favor of the cool gift. Otherwise, she may think you're insinuating something.

Lastly, one of the best Valentines Day gifts is, of course, a romantic trip. Whether it is a trip to Paris or a weekend getaway at a Bed & Breakfast, it's likely to be the most romantic romantic Valentine you could give her because it involves creating new memories and sharing new experiences.

You may also consider an all-inclusive cruise, which can often be found for less than $100/day!
