Cheap Valentine Gifts for Your Girlfriend

Unless you really want to be in the dog house, sleeping on the couch or hear, “I’m fine!” for days, you better become familiar with what the best Valentine gifts for your girlfriend are this year.

If you are one of the lucky guys, your girlfriend may be kind enough to come out and tell you what she wants. She might even go put it on hold at the store for you to make sure that you get the right thing! Of course, not many men live in this perfect world so chances are, you’re hearing, “I’ll love whatever you get me!” which translates to, “You better not mess this up again this year!”

Understand that the list of best Valentine gifts for girlfriends may not be appropriate in every situation. If you have just started dating, an extravagant gift may make her feel awkward.

On the other hand, if you purchased her a diamond pendant and a week in Fiji last year, don’t even think about only giving her a Kindle unless it’s loaded with at least 1,000 books.

Best Valentine Gifts for Your Girlfriend

• Kindle – If your girlfriend doesn’t have a Kindle yet, this is a must! Now there’s even more options to choose from like the very budget-friendly 6 inch or the new Kindle Fire.

• Winter Wear – There are a lot of ideas in this category that fall on the list of best Valentine gifts for girlfriends. If your girlfriend skis or spends a lot of time outside, appropriate snow gear or sunglasses are great ideas. Warm long-sleeved tops and hoodies from her favorite store are always appreciated and hats, mittens and scarves are perfect gifts for new relationships.

• Good Smelling Stuff – If your girlfriend loves candles, stock up on plenty of soy candles, these make great stocking stuffers too. If you think she’ll love to soak in the tub and read the Kindle that you’re getting her, pick up some bubble bath. Is she the type that indulges in the finest perfumes? Buy her a bottle that she’s running low on or a new type she’s been hinting about.

• Thoughtful Items – Not everything on the list of best Valentine gifts for your girlfriend has to be expensive. A Kate Spade desktop calendar, Williams-Sonoma hot chocolate, music gift card, iPod Nano or an herb garden starter set are all great ideas. These are things she’ll appreciate and use but wouldn’t necessarily splurge on herself.

• Jewelry – Sometimes, as predictable as it may be, jewelry is the one gift that you know will put a smile on her face. Valentines is the perfect time of year to buy that engagement ring she’s been waiting for and hide it in a cheesy ornament.

A silver bangle bracelet engraved on the inside is always a unique idea or an unusual hand-blown glass pendant may be an option as well. Keep in mind that the best Valentine gifts for your girlfriend are always going to be the ones you put a little careful thought into.
