33 Valentine's Day Gifts She'll Actually Love

When it comes to the leading lady in your life, every day with her is special, but that doesn't mean that certain days don't deserve some extra attention. Whether she's an avid fan of Valentine's Day or simply appreciates a sweet gesture now and then, surprising her with a great gift on the holiday is sure to warm her heart. Before you assume that the majority of the tried-and-true possibilities are all trite or overdone (think chocolates and roses), check out our editor-culled list of creative ideas. We've thought outside of the box so that you don't have to—and the options we have collected strike that hard-to-achieve balance of romantic and unique.

Flowers may be your first choice, and if they are, go right ahead, but don't settle for a boring bouquet when there are better blooms to pick (how special is this arrangement from Grace Rose Farm?). If you're leaning more toward sweets, you can't go wrong with candy, but make it something (or a variety!) that she'll savor. Jewelry is another popular gift for Valentine's Day, which is why we have suggested a few effortless accessories, including blush resin hoops she'll turn to every day. And if you'd rather buy an item that's less anticipated? We've found plenty of those, as well. All in all, the following presents go beyond the holiday's signature motifs of red details, hearts, and other love-inspired motifs. It's anything but ordinary, just like her.

Whoever you are shopping for, these presents are bound to make your Valentine's Day memorable. Plus, there are offerings for every budget (ultimately, you can't put a price tag on thoughtfulness). Read on to begin shopping—her reaction will be priceless, too.

Blush hoops suit the holiday, but are neutral enough for everyday wear, too.
