Valentine’s Day gifts for women-A Great Tips for Guys

It’s that time of the year again…Valentine’s Day.  For most guys a drug store box of chocolates or a bouquet of spring flowers along with a sappy card is their standby. But what do candy and floral arrangements have to do with love?  These are consumables, definitely not representative of relationship of substance.

The key is the depth of the feelings, and the commitment to each other; in other words, the essence of the relationship. Has Valentine’s Day caught you in a new relationship, maybe just casually dating?  Obviously the gift in that case is going to be less expensive, and less in your face love sick.

If you are dating steadily, but have not yet gotten to the point of making a decision about a long term commitment, then a delicate heart pendant or maybe a romantic couple’s weekend at a spa would be suitable. The experience might even kick the relationship up to the next level.

Valentine’s Day, more than any other special occasion, is the time to solidify a relationship that has proven to be enduring. A promise ring would become a keepsake that she will treasure even after it is replaced by an engagement ring. Promise rings can be any style, but they should be genuine (as is your love), and heart shaped gemstones are particularly meaningful. For a change, an eternity style band in candy colorful combinations might be perfect. I have seen a collection called “Bonbon” with colored gemstone set into various colors of gold, and these rings look good enough to eat.

Is this Valentine’s Day the big one? Is this going to be the day when you solidify your promise with an engagement ring? One gentleman I know covered all bases: a box of chocolates, a romantic card, and a bouquet of roses with an engagement ring tied onto one of the stems. The ring was totally unexpected, and desperately wanted, so he made one lady very happy.

The most popular engagement ring currently is made from white gold or platinum with a diamond or multiple diamonds. The style and color of metal has gone through changes over the years, from yellow gold with colored gemstones, to the modern favorite. Some careful probing of your lady love or her friends might give you a clue as to what her tastes are.
The wedding is always a special day by itself, you don’t need Valentine’s Day to exchange those rings.

But down the line, either on the day of your anniversary or on Valentine’s Day, you should think back on how special she has made your life, and recognize your mutual love with a sparkling eternity or anniversary ring. Some claim the eternity ring has a solid circle of diamonds symbolizing love that lasts forever, and the anniversary ring  is made with a half circle of diamonds. Most people use the terms interchangeably. Whatever the name, the ring is always an expression of enduring love.

What does this tell you about buying a Valentine’s Day gift for the woman in your life? Take a look at your relationship and make your choice appropriate to the status of your relationship.
