Overview

Valentine's Day is a joyous occasion that celebrates love. Your girlfriend anticipates this holiday, and you don't want to disappoint her with half-hearted gift choices. Select a gift that shows you appreciate the relationship. Keep her taste and preferences in mind, and make an effort to personalize the gift to make it meaningful.

Valentine's Day
Jewelry

A piece of jewelry will surely win your girlfriend's heart, as women enjoy luxurious gifts. Give a piece that matches the Valentine's Day occasion, such as a heart pendant necklace. Or give a heart locket and place a photo of the two of you inside. She can open the locket to see a precious reminder of your love. Engrave the piece with an intimate phrase to make the piece more meaningful. Jewelers offer this service at an additional charge. If you're not sure if your girlfriend has her ears pieced, buy a necklace or bracelet. Jewelry varies in price with regard to the value of metals and stones. Silver-plated or gold-plated metals are less expensive than precious metals such as sterling silver or gold. Semi-precious stones are less expensive than precious stones. Jewelers categorize semi-precious stones as any gemstones other than the four precious stones: diamond, sapphire, ruby and emerald.

Chocolate & Flowers

Chocolate and flowers is a gift duo that is popular and appreciated. Your girlfriend will be excited to see a beautiful bouquet and a box of her favorite chocolates. This is a fitting solution if you have a smaller budget and cannot afford jewelry. Select flowers to match your girlfriend's personality. For example, buy a bouquet of bright yellow daisies for your fun and outgoing girlfriend. Or buy pink rosebuds if she is a sweet and old-fashioned girl. Similarly, buy chocolates that your girlfriend will enjoy. There is a wide selection to choose from, including rich dark chocolates to luscious chocolate-dipped strawberries. If you're not sure of her chocolate preference, buy an assortment box.
Photo Frame

A framed photo of you and your girlfriend is thoughtful and meaningful. It is a lovely reminder of your relationship. Select a photo of one of your happiest memories together. Upload the photo to an online service such as SnapFish.com where you can order prints. Buy a frame that you can personalize. RedEnvelope.com's "Personalizeable Silver Plated Photo Frame" allows you to add an engraving of your choosing. Use a lyric from your girlfriend's favorite song or a line from her favorite poem. Another option is to buy a digital photo frame, which holds many photos that rotate as a slideshow. Upload a collection of photos of you and your girlfriend. What's more, she can upload photos from her own collection in the future.
