Happy Valentine’s season, lovebirds. Here’s how to impress your wife, fiancé, girlfriend, or that cute girl you’ve been flirting with for months: Don’t get her standard chocolates or that gaudy diamond necklace that jewellery stores are shoving down your throat.
That’s it, that’s the gift guide.
OK, maybe it’s not quite that simple, but finding a romantic Valentine’s Day gift that’s not a complete cliché doesn’t have to be hard. Why give jewellery every year when she’s been complaining about her outdated smartwatch?
Real romance isn’t about the amount of money you spend, or picking out the biggest bouquet of roses (though that is still very much an acceptable add-on). It’s about showing that you pay attention, that you’ve honed in on who she really is, and that you appreciate everything she does. You can do all that via a brilliant gift — one that makes her life better and easier.
From wine and beauty subscriptions to smart home devices and niche ideas, there’s an option for every type of lady — even if that type is super picky.
These are the best gift ideas for her this Valentine’s Day.
