Unique Valentine's Day Gift Giving Ideas

Unless you're particularly "gifted" when it comes to gift giving, finding the perfect gift for Valentine's Day can be like finding a cinnamon heart in a basket of rose petals! What do you give the guy who has everything, the girl of your dreams, your teacher, best friend, employees, children, wife, husband (and even the dog and cat!)?

Finding the right Valentine's Day gift can speak volumes about how you feel about the recipient - just as sending the wrong gift can! Yikes!!

So friends, listed below are some interesting and unique gift ideas for Valentine's day - for everyone on your list.

Valentines Gift Ideas For Her 

Idea #1 - Give her roses.
The gift you give your lady for Valentine's Day is a statement. So please, NO BLENDERS OR VACUUM cleaners! What you give has to be both thoughtful and personalized, to show that you love and know her.

Roses are the gold standard when it comes to Valentine's gifts for her. Your gift should definitely include, but not be limited to, Roses. Different colors of Roses have different meanings. Here is a rundown:

Meanings of Different Colors of Roses:

• Red Roses: Love and romance.
• Pink Roses: Grace, Admiration, Joy, Elegance.
• Yellow Roses: Joy, Friendship, Warmth, Happiness
• White Roses: Innocence, Purity, Reverence, New Beginnings
• Orange Roses: Desire, Passion, Enthusiasm, Deep Romance
• Lavender Roses: Enchantment, Love at first sight

While these different rose colors can convey different meanings, if your recipient has a favorite rose color that you know, then it's a good idea to make that your choice. It shows you pay attention!

The next obvious question is "how many"? Three? A dozen? Two dozen? This depends largely on your budget. If you are a poor student, and your honey knows it, a single rose should be plenty. (If not, she's a greedy slag, and you should dump her!) On the other hand, if you are a corporate executive making well into four digits, then you may need to give two or three dozen roses - or risk looking like you don't care. That's something you will have to decide, based on your situation. Roses convey romance, and that's what Valentine's Day is all about.

Idea #2 - Give Her Jewelry

Most ladies love jewelry. And the right piece of jewelry can be a thoughtful and delightful Valentine's gift for her. Choosing that piece of jewelry, however, requires a little bit of detective work on your part.

Is she the queen of bling? Does she have glittering, jewel encrusted trinkets on each wrist and ankle, every finger, toe, around her neck, in her earlobes, through her nose, navel, tongue, and places I won't mention here in case the kiddies are reading? If that is the case, the possibilities are wide-open! Make some observations about the style of her existing jewelry. Is it silver, gold, white gold, brass? Does it have precious stones, diamonds, crystals, beads? Is it understated or "in your face"? Once you have a good idea of what she goes for, you can choose something you know she will love - and that will show you pay attention to her look.

Is she a minimalist? If your heart's desire wears only a simple chain or pendant, earrings or bracelet, then carefully selecting just the right piece of jewelry is key. Make sure to find out if she leans towards gold - or silver, since you'll want to stay with what she has.
