What do women want for Valentine’s day? As a man, you may think this an impossible question to answer, but here we list Valentine’s gifts for women that she will actually want. Chocolates and cake are nice, but for Valentine’s day anything you buy must show you care enough about her to make the effort to find the best gift to suit her, whether it be heartfelt words of gratitude to her for being in your life, or a gift both luxurious and decadent. Buying a Valentine’s gifts for women that is what they want will repay your efforts handsomely. Whilst the gift is important, remember the most important thing is to spend time with your sweetheart on Valentine’s day. Prioritize time with her over any other fun activities that might be happening. Turn off your smart-phone and show that you’re focused on her for the day.
Stylish, understated lingerie
Treat your lover to some sophisticated lingerie. Aim for stylish and understated, not red and racy and you may set pulses racing for the right reasons. A pure silk designer chemise is classy and chic. A sheer white shirt that covers everything, but leaves little to your imagination will be something she can wear when you hang out together at home, yet adds a bit of spark.
Champagne flutes and bubbles
The best Valentine’s gifts for women create a romantic closeness between you. A gift of champagne flutes, together with a bottle of champagne or prosecco will give you the opportunity as you toast each other’s health to exchange endearments, share jokes and reminisce about special memories in your relationship.

Deliver flowers to her place of work
Valentine’s gifts for women can be public declarations of love that some women adore. Order beautiful long-stemmed red Fair-trade Kenyan roses and have them delivered to the reception desk where she works. Everyone will know she’s got the flowers and she will know you understand the values she holds around fair trade.
Jewelry
A beautiful piece of jewelry is one of the more traditional Valentine’s gifts for women. Choose a piece that suits her style to show her how much you love and cherish her. If you’re not entirely sure of her style, check her jewelry box or check what she wears. If she likes big, bold pieces of jewelry, buy a piece of with clusters of gems. For something more classic, a unique gilded red or pink rose pendant is a beautiful declaration of your love.
Clothes
Take your sweetheart to the mall to choose some new shoes and/or a new dress that’s both sexy and sophisticated to wear on a date night or more formal occasion. Make it a day when the focus is fully on her and what she wants to do. Have enough gas in the car and cash in your wallet before the day so you don’t break the romantic feel of the day with the mundane practicalities of queuing at the ATM or being stuck waiting on the garage forecourt. The effort you put into your Valentine’s gift for women, the more focused your sweetheart will become focused on how to make you happy.
Personal passions
Choose gifts that connect with her darling’s passions. This could be a subscription to her favourite magazine, an annual membership to her favourite art gallery, a weekend cookery school or a term of lessons to refresh her foreign language or other skills that may have been put to one side since motherhood.
Simple gestures
A Valentine’s gift for women does not have to cost a lot of money. Woo her with a single rose, with a note attached that says, ‘You’re my one and only.’ Or on Valentine’s morning, cut self-stick notes into heart shapes, write something sweet or saucy on each, and leave them on her bathroom mirror, the refrigerator or her car door. Or notes in her coat pocket, gym bag or car dashboard.
Love letter
If you ask the ladies you know “What do women want for Valentine’s Day?”, most will answer that they want to know they are loved. Write your lover a letter, in your own handwriting, to tell her how she has impacted you for the better. If you’re healthier, kinder, more easygoing or any other positive attribute, tell her. Tell her what you thought about her when you first met, or when you first got married, or last week when she looked really hot. Write about your future plans together, about how she makes you feel and what you really appreciate about her.
Spa treatments
Treat your sweetheart like royalty and take her to a spa for the day. Have a massage together, side by side and have a day with just the two of you focussed on each other. If that’s not possible, gift her a certificate for her favourite spa or one that can be used across a network of spas that she can use when travelling.
