Well here is a list of the top 10 gifts that will steer you in the right direction.
TV Cuddle Blanket
While a blanket might not seem like the most elaborate gift, its the perfect choice for those of you whose girlfriends look forward to lounging on the living room couch after a long day. The blanket has a built-in pocket to store the TV remote or a book, and is even designed with a pouch for her feet.
Picture Frame
Why? You've been with her long enough to know that you take the relationship seriously. A picture frame with the two of you in it will illustrate that you see a possible future together. You can get it . Bonus Points: A picture of the happy couple can win some big-time points, but if the frame includes a picture of only yourself, you're going to have some splainin' to do.
Romantic Toys For the Bedroom
Sex toys are used to enhance a couple's experience or for thrilling bedroom experiments. This Valentine's day, bring some excitement to the bedroom by showing her your inner bad boy. Warning: Bedroom toys are considered a "side dish" to the main gift. Do not show up with a bedroom aid without bringing along a more personal gift. Remember, your gift reflects your thoughts.
Charm Bracelet
The charming thing about a charm bracelet is that it allows you to add charms to the bracelet. Hence, it makes for a great training tool. Every time your princess does something spectacular or out of the ordinary -- that you benefit from -- you can reward her by adding another charm to her bracelet. Get the perfect one .
Lingerie
Most of the time, men will buy sexy lingerie for the woman in their lives. Purchasing lingerie is a little cliche, but it is generally well received by women. In order to stand out, you should consider purchasing something that is sexy, but with a little comfort for the lady in mind.
Perfume
There's a reason a woman's fragrance is so important to both you and her. She wants to make sure her scent suits her personality, and you want to ensure the fragrance makes you want to cuddle up to her all day and night.
Jewelery Box
Make sure your woman has a unique, beautiful box to keep her precious jewelry in. This Valentine's Day, give her one worthy of her beauty. Warning: The bigger the box, the more space you'll be obligated to fill up.
Spa Massage Gift Certificate
Treat her to a special day in which she gets treated like a princess. This all-day pampering will make her feel like a vibrant teenager again. After her princess treatment comes to an end, bring her home and treat her like a queen.
Dance Lessons Together
Women are deeply attracted to men who know how to dance without stepping all over their feet. This is the perfect time to sharpen your salsa skills, while spending a little more time closer to your love. This year, take dance lessons together and two-step your way to her heart.
Gold Necklace
Every woman dreams of holding her hair up while her man stands behind her and ties a golden necklace around her neck. Don't deprive your woman of such an experience; show her that you too can be a hopeless romantic. Why? As long as jewelry makes a woman feel special, beautiful and like she's worth a million bucks, it will be her best friend. All women love to be spoiled with jewelry and your woman is no exception. You can get it .
