8 Valentine's Day Gifts She Actually Wants
Valentine's Day is coming up, which means if you don't have a gift for your significant other, well, it's time to hop to it.
Women can be particular (I'm allowed to say that because I am one), and if your lady friend is also the type to be a little too subtle with gift hints, the day of love can feel extra daunting. We've tried to make it easier on you with eight gift ideas that'll appeal to just about every woman.
Lingerie That's Actually Comfortable
Teeny lace underthings will always have their time and their place, but realistically, your partner also needs something versatile and comfortable for everyday wear. True and Co. prides themselves on bras and panties that look just as good as they feel, with simple silhouettes made to be worn all day. This bra gives all the support of underwire without any of the inevitable poking.
▲A Memory-Keeper
There's a reason retro photography has had a resurgence. There's something extra special about snapping photos with something a little more tangible than an iPhone, and an old-school Polaroid instant camera is guaranteed to keep great documentation of fun times together. For a more compact option, you can also try scoping eBay and thrift stores for turn-of-the-century 35mm point-and-shoots.
▲A Planner
Sure, February is a little late to be buying a 2020 planner, but procrastination is one of your lady's best qualities, right? If she needs a little help keeping her super busy and cool life in order, pick her up a yearly planner with plenty of room to write out her daily activities. To make it even more romantic, take your own pen to it beforehand and write in all the special dates you two share.
▲A Morning Time-Saver
The long-haired femmes of the internet have been losing it over this nifty tool from Revlon, which takes hair from just-showered to sleek and bouncy in a matter of minutes. Her morning routine has never been shorter.
▲A Cute Way to Be Lazy
Even if you've been dating for years, it's still fun to look cute while you're just lounging around together. This set from Lisa Says Gah is the answer, with a chic tie-front crop top that's just the right amount of sexy for staying in. Have you noticed we like comfy things?
▲A Family Portrait
Have you two already made the major step in adopting an animal together? You don't have to have kids to comprise an aww-worthy family portrait of you and your furry friend. Etsy and Instagram are great resources to hunt down an artist for custom portraits.
▲An Everyday Accessory
Did you really think we weren't going to put jewelry on this list? Small hoops will never go out of style, and this classic pair from Mejuri is affordable while still being made to last. Which is good—she'll want to wear them every day.
▲An Experience
What do you get for the partner who has everything? If your partner isn't big into things—or somehow already owns everything imaginable—opt for an experience instead. Try taking a class together, like cooking or pottery. Head to a play, a comedy show, or concert for her favorite band. Take her on a hike, but only if that's her thing. The opportunities are endless, so just figure out what outing works best for you both. You know her better than anyone else, right?
