What to Give Your Girlfriend for Valentine's Day: Gifts She'll Love
As February 14 draws near, guys' brains have to work a hundred times harder, figuring out how to give their girlfriend a gift that will surprise and touch her. If you've spent hours every day thinking about it and still come up empty, take a look at the suggestions I share below.
Unlike women in some other countries, Vietnamese women aren't into maximum-level romance, so dial the romantic gestures down right away.
Option 1: Flowers
Here's a tip, guys: 96.69% of girls love flowers. Even if your girlfriend often says she doesn't like flowers because they're too cheesy, buy them anyway, it's fine. A little cheesiness is welcome at this time of year. Just don't go over the top with a giant bouquet! That can backfire.
Pick a simple bouquet, medium or even small, and it will still melt her heart.
Option 2: Chocolate
A box of chocolates with a small bunch of flowers is the perfect combo, unless your girlfriend doesn't like chocolate or is trying to lose weight.
A little box with an assortment of chocolates, or simply the chocolate bars she usually loves.
Option 3: Lipstick
This is the most low-key gift of all: just a single lipstick wrapped in a pretty gift box is enough to touch your girl's heart. Girls are very practical too, so if you give her something she can actually use, she'll naturally be happy.
If you have the budget, go for brands like MAC, Dior, Chanel, OHUI or LANEIGE. If your budget is tighter, brands such as 3CE, Peripera, BbiA and ClubClio start at just 150,000 VND, so they're easy to afford.
Option 4: Jewelry
Accessories and jewelry are must-haves for women. You could choose small earrings, a watch, a ring, sunglasses and so on; girls can never have too many of these, so don't worry about whether she already has one.
If money is tight, you can buy earrings and rings in silver, but skip silver if she is allergic to it.
Option 5: Shoes
Shoes are a fairly safe choice. If you're nervous about picking heels or flats she'll like, switch to sneakers.
However feminine a girl is, she still needs a pair of sneakers. And you'll love seeing your girl walking beside you in a pretty pair you bought her. Some hot styles she'll like include Adidas Stan Smith, Adidas NMD, Nike Classic Cortez and Jack & Jill Domba Sneakers.
Option 6: Handbag
A handbag is something she carries with her every day, so choose darker tones that are easy to match with her outfits. Ask the sales assistant for advice when buying, because a man's eye for style isn't always the best.
Option 7: A teddy bear or bear-shaped pillow
A teddy bear is a hugely popular gift. But don't think picking one is easy; what kind of bear and what size are real questions too.
Many women aren't into romance, so don't buy a giant teddy bear to surprise her. Choose one that suits her tastes. "Teddy bear" covers all sorts of soft toys, so you can pick one with a quirkier shape or one that's trending online.
Option 8: Clothes
If you trust your sense of style, this is also a good option. Depending on her fashion style, you can pick the type of clothing that suits her best: a T-shirt if she has a bold personality, a floral dress if she's a dreamer, or simply a skirt she can mix and match however she likes.
But be careful to get the size right.
Option 9: Perfume
Soft, gentle scents are the ones she'll love most. Relatively few women wear perfume, but if it's perfume you gave her, she'll definitely use it, as long as she doesn't react to it.
Option 10: Dinner or a movie
If you're both easygoing and don't like fuss, an evening meal together followed by a movie hand in hand can make a lovely Valentine's memory.
A meal at a small restaurant or your favorite local spot can be very romantic and meaningful too.
These are common gifts, but very practical ones. I've shared these ideas so you can give your girl the very best; a simple gift chosen with care becomes something special.
Happy Valentine's Day!
